Amanda Barrientez was studying for a Ph.D. in Sociology when she listened to the little voice inside herself that told her she wasn’t living in full alignment with her goals. Her marriage had broken up, the next relationship she was in had also failed, and she was a parent who could barely afford rent.
The study of sociology makes her highly attuned to how humans behaved, and that period of personal upheaval made her realize that she had several limiting beliefs about her worth, which then affected what she thought she should earn. She began to take certification towards being a financial and lifecoach, and now works with other entrepreneurs to help them work through the obstacles that are in the way between them and their best lives.
“Throwing Petals Downhill” is a philosophy about work that she developed. Running a business and becoming your best self is work, but it should feel like throwing petals down a hill, rather than pushing a boulder up.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Getting unstuck around your limiting beliefs about money is a question of working on self-esteem issues. It’s a spiritual journey.
There is no such thing as “bad” or “good”. If you can see situations as opportunities to grow and learn, to try and separate from that binary thinking, you start to live more in the present moment, which helps you live in gratitude and can rewire your thinking.
She wants to help people learn how to transform themselves into the best version of themselves. The money will follow.
Think of the word “healing”. It evokes nurturing, rest, space, care. Amanda has been called “The Money Healer” and she truly embodies this approach to her business and how she helps her clients.
BEST MOMENTS - “My mantra for 2021 was ‘work less, make more, have fun.’”
“Fear and shame are really low energies, and most people feel a lot of that about money. I’ve worked with people of all different incomes and class levels, and I can’t think of a person I’ve met yet who feels 100% good about money. … How can you get into alignment in your soul to feel good in this body in this life?”
“I’m curious about the human puzzle and for the reason of conscious evolution – consciousness evolution.”
“You are whole as you are.”
