Style and Soul Reformed Bite sized Podcast Episode 29: Why are we here

Welcome to Love Money Magic. I'm Christy Teloh and I'm thrilled to have you join me on this journey. So, picture this: bustling streets of New York City, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the fashion industry. For me, it's been more than just a career—it's been a haven of incredible women. Building bonds with these strong, beautiful, and ambitious souls has been an absolute joy. And you know what the best part is? Sharing our stories.

Through countless conversations, I've realized something profound: at the core of it all, we all crave two fundamental things in life. Yep, just two. First up, we've got love, purpose, belonging, you name it—basically everything that makes our hearts sing. And then there's money, abundance, financial freedom—the stuff that keeps our wallets happy. Funny thing is, we're often taught to keep these topics hush-hush, which only breeds shame and avoidance.

But here's the deal: it's time to break those barriers. That's why I'm here, ready to dive deep into discussions with incredible women like you. We're talking about love, money, healing, growth—you name it. Because together, we're not just here to survive, we're here to thrive. So buckle up, because we're about to soar and prosper together. Let's do this!

What does your emotional home look like?  What are the thoughts you think regularly and the emotions that you create as a result?  Is it clean and pristine?  Is it messy and chaotic? 

In this episode I am talking a bit about my journey.  My story, what has been in and on my heart. You can hear in the episode, my struggle in real time as well as my outlook on how to move forward in the best way that I know how.   It's pretty raw and vulnerable which is all a part of my healing journey. My hope is that anyone listening can connect to thier own truth from my story.

In the past I could've called myself the queen of beating myself up.  Negativity and self doubt were definitely a big issue for me.  I'm in the process, obviously not perfect, but I am catching myself as my thoughts pass through and I'm correcting them. Treating those thoughts lightly and gently pushing them past and replacing those thoughts w/ a funny inside joke or simply telling myself 'Remember who the F you are'....haha.

Do you experience fear and self doubt?  What do you do to combat it?

Have a listen to my process of un-doing the past and redesigning my future.

About 4 years ago I decided I wanted to be happy.  I decided to figure out the root of why I wasn't happy & I decided to start making some major changes in myself. Now that I have some perspective I can see that it stemmed from the fact that I didn't like myself, I didn't love myself and I didn't even know how to start this process.  In this episode I'm talking about the process that I went through and continue going through to free myself from myself in terms of self loathing, judgement, self doubt and liberate myself on a whole new level.  Life is a process and I'm not waiting to find happieness I'm learning to be the happiness.

I'm not gonna lie, this past month has been one of the more challenging times in my life.  I've had to revisit a lot of my childhood trauma and it's been really really painful for me.  What I'm realizing is that you can heal from the pain by doing the work of having deep empathy for your past self and your current self, through journaling and through forgiveness.  It takes a lot of courage to do what you need to do to heal but with time and practice I'm seeing that it can be a very freeing experience.   Growth is painful but it is worth it. 

It was my birthday this week and I'm reflecting.  I'm thinking about my life and just life in general.  I truly believe that everything in your life stems from a place of how you see yourself.  I've been on an emersive journey of doing only the things that align with my mission of being the best version of myself.  I've opened up my perspective on myself, my beliefs, my intentions.  How do you view life and yourself?

I am completely obsessed with getting to the next best version of myself in all ways.  As a result, I like to reflect to asses how I've improved every now and again and I smile when I do. 

Things that once put me over the edge no longer does, my relationship w/ myself is easier.  I look at myself in the mirror differently, less judgemental. It's all a process but I'm glad im on this journey.  What do you do to make improvements on yourself?  How do you look at yourself in the mirror?  

As I learn and I evolve as a human being, I'm discovering subtle nuances of how to strengthen myself, my faith, my confidence and how to dissolve my fears. A level of awareness of myself and my purpose are becoming a bigger and bigger force from within.  It's all seemed abstract up until the past few months but as I know myself, when I get something and it resonates, it becomes me.  This is the stage that I am in currently. As I have previously mentioned, it's uphill, it's hard to get there..I'm not there yet but when you get to resting points along the way the journey starts to make more and more sense. 

I'm getting into the idea of how much control you feel you have over your life.  I've gone through a good majority of my life feeling like didn't have the majority of control over my life.  That way brought me to a place of feeling lost, helpless and victimized.  I was really not happy and feeling pretty defeated. 

Since learning how to command control of my focus, my thoughts and my emotions, I've become more empowered.  I'm shedding the 'victimized' part of my personality and emerging with so much faith, love and hope for my beautiful future.  It's a journey and a process and I'm just feeling grateful that I get to live from this different perspective moving forward in my life.

My mission in life is to evolve into the best version of myself possible.  I'm talking about the process of how I'm inching my way into the unfolding of that woman.  Rehersal is a part of what I'm doing to walk into the energy of who and what she is.  The empathy, the creativity, the love, the abundance, the health and the energy that I want to be.  Life is not static.  We need to be intentional on what we want and move in that direction daily.
