Worthy Women Series: Leeann Forbes
“Do what you can right now; That would make you feel worthy, right now. For me it was a haircut.”
Yes. A haircut.
I truly believe that if there is ever a movie made of Leeann Forbes’ life, it should be called “A Haircut Changed My Life”.
Something so simple that you might not give a second thought to is the catalyst to Leeann’s amazing transformation. But as she points out, it wasn’t an easy decision.
Living in a space of performative poverty, because that’s how she grew up and knew nothing else, there was a lot of guilt surrounding not only spending money on “frivolous” things but also in earning more money. She didn’t want to be perceived as having outgrown her low-income roots.
But a decision to step outside her comfort zone led to a new business and a move into a new apartment that matches exactly what she had manifested earlier in the month.
“It wasn’t easy because there was work but it happened with so much ease.”
One of the hardest parts of the journey though was learning to trust herself; in business AND in life.
In her business she was confident in her knowledge level but wasn’t confident that she was deserving of the money she was making. And in life, she only trusted herself in things that made her comfortable. For Leeann, that comfort started to expand as her trust in herself grew.
“I am now sitting in my apartment. And I lay in bed and I can’t believe this is my life and it fits me so well. I had to stretch a little for me to rise up to it.”
Listen to our full conversation as leeann shares how she was able to stand in her worth, create a new money story and how you can too.
