Abundance BoundAB 4: REGINA – How she summoned her courage and discovered her ideal side biz.Kristine welcomes guest Regina Melzer who shares how her ideal side biz was born. Regina was in a situation familiar to many performers: A wildly talented actor who was doing restaurant gigs that drained her of her energy and supplementing those with a little side biz as a petsitter (where she was chronically undercharging). That sounds very typical, right? But what isn't typical – at all – is how committed Regina was to enduring the discomfort that comes along with learning how to make more money... and, by doing so, she made more money. She embraced coaching and community and courage – an...

Abundance BoundAB 3: HONESTY – What is the difference between having money vs. having an honest relationship with your money? Miata and Kristine reconvene to examine, from a variety of perspectives, why honesty is such an important aspect of your relationship with money – not just being honest about it, but also being honest TO it. Miata shares two stories – a client story and a personal story – that illustrate true honesty in action, and Kristine explains why being successful is not necessarily an indication of the health of your relationship with money.

In this episode, you'll hear several examples of Kim choosing to embrace ideas and interactions that make her feel temporarily uncomfortable rather than trying to evade the discomfort. Her willingness to be uncomfortable in order to grow and b...

Her emotional temperature only tells her what she's feeling about her biz at any given moment – and usually what she's feeling is that she hasn't ever done "enough." In this episode, Kristine and Kim examine how her feelings – altho...

Abundance Bound11: Making Room For What You Want part 3Today we’re going to extend our conversation about making room for what you want. That’s right, I thought I was moving on from this important topic but then I rediscovered a little time capsule of an interview that I did back in December of 2007 detailing how I wrote my audio book – how I made room for such a time and energy consuming project in my life and the things I put in place to help me actually see it through to completion. I personally like hearing about what goes on behind-the-scenes of people’s projec...

Abundance BoundBONUS: Dennis 5 CONTENT NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the 2020 pandemic. ------------------------ Dennis is discovering that there are some things that can only be discovered or learned or figured out "on the job" – when he is actually doing the work of his side hustle. Some of your best insights and ideas will be stumbled upon – and very often it will be through the mistakes you make that you find even better ways of doing things. Every side hustler experiences the ups and downs inherent to entrepreneurship and Dennis is no exception. In this epi...

Abundance BoundBONUS: Dennis 4 CONTENT NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the 2020 pandemic. ------------------------ As it happens for many side hustlers, it is taking Dennis some time to get used to being the boss. The juggling act of maintaining boundaries with clients while still satisfying them makes him feel a bit awkward sometimes, but it's important for him – and for you – to be reminded that that feeling doesn't necessarily mean you are doing something wrong or that what you are doing isn't working. In this episode, Kristine encourages Dennis to step up and "do...

Abundance Bound10: Making Room For What You Want part 2Today we’re going to wrap up our conversation about making room for what you want. In the previous episode, we discussed how your schedule is within your sphere of influence and while it can change by chance, it can also be changed by choice – by you proactively deciding to shift it – maybe quickly, maybe slowly – to better support you in achieving your cash flow goals. My dear friend and colleague, Dana Middleton graciously accepted my invitation to give us a candid behind-the-scenes look at how she used her schedule as a tool to support the evol...

Abundance Bound09: Making Room For What You Want part 1Today we’re going to talk about making room for what you want. Sometimes shifting towards a vision is a slow process, but slow doesn’t mean impossible. And sometimes things can even go faster than you thought was possible. Either way, first you must decide what you want, and then you must commit to taking baby steps and bold moves towards making room for it to come into existence. I'm going to share with you some real-life examples of that particular process in action – making room for what you want – focusing on a mighty yet ofte...

Abundance Bound08: The Illusion of ControlToday we are going to talk about the illusion of control. Trying to control anything or anyone is exhausting and fruitless – and always will be. But if control is not an option, how do you create a texture of peace and security in your life? That’s such a good question – especially during these tumultuous times. I will give you my thoughts on that, which include a closer look at five different ways that grasping for control creates major mental energy leaks. ------------------------ Host: Kristine Oller Music:

Abundance BoundBONUS: Dennis 3CONTENT NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the 2020 pandemic. ------------------------ Like every side hustler, Dennis is building his biz while, at times, feeling trepidatious, uncertain, and uncomfortable. Those feelings are totally normal and will arise each time you venture outside of your comfort zone. The goal, however, is to not let those feelings stop you from taking action. An effective way to stoke your courage is to remain aware and appreciative of all the things that are going well and that are unfolding smoothly. In this episode, Kristine and...

Abundance Bound07: Everybody's Already Doing EverythingToday we're going to talk about the story that "everyone is already doing everything so there’s no room for you." And it IS just a story – but boy it is one your lizard brain likes to crawl out and whisper in your ear – isn’t it? "Someone’s already doing what you want to do. And they are already established. And they’re really good. You’re starting too late. So why even try?" (Ugh, sounds familiar!) In the hopes that it will help, I'm sharing a story about a realization I had one aftern...

What will people think if I make this offer? What will people think if I charge money for that offer? Or charge money for doing something that I love? Or charge money for doing something I don’t have a degree in? I’ve invited my dear friend and colleague, Heidi Rose Robbins, t...
