Chill & Prosper with Denise Duffield-Thomas

Let’s talk about money sabotage. Not in a harsh, “what’s wrong with you?” way - but in a compassionate, this actually makes sense way. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m unpacking the sneaky ways we sabotage ourselves in business and money - often without even realising we’re doing it.

Today’s episode is a little different, but so important. I’m talking about money, business, perimenopause, menopause - and what happens when your body, energy, confidence, and capacity start to change. This isn’t a medical episode. It’s a real life one.

All month we’ve been talking about money mindset habits and creating supportive routines to attract more and grow your business. But, if you’ve fallen off the wagon with your money habits… don’t worry, welcome to being human. This happens to everyone - especially around this time of year, when January motivation has worn off and life has well and truly kicked in. So in this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m talking about how to gently get back on track with your money and mindset without shame, guilt, or needing a dramatic fresh start.

We’re continuing with our monthly theme of money habits and today I’m sharing some of my monthly habits with money. I know this might disappoint you a little - but most success doesn’t come from one big moment, one viral post, or one lucky break. It comes from small, consistent habits that quietly compound over time. In this week’s podcast episode I’m talking about monthly money habits - the ones that don’t require perfection, motivation, or hustle, but make a massive difference long-term.

Spoiler alert; I’m not in the 5am club, I don’t meditate and I hate cold water! You don’t need a rigid morning routine or constant zen to succeed. Let’s be real - I’ve got 3 kids, a business to run, ADHD and peri-menopause. So in this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m sharing the real daily mindset tricks I use - the ones that are layered into my life, not forced or performative.

Let me say this upfront: Your business can be consistent even if you aren’t. That’s not a contradiction - it’s actually the whole point of this week’s Chill & Prosper episode. Today I’m breaking down exactly how I’ve created consistency in my business without working all the time, being “on” every day, or turning my life into content.

So much of how we relate to money today was shaped long before we ever earned a dollar. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m diving into childhood money stories - the subtle, often unspoken experiences that quietly influence how safe, worthy, and capable we feel around money as adults. This is our final topic in Love and Money month and looks closely at how childhood and family relationships shape our beliefs about love, money, and self-worth.

Continuing this month’s theme of Love and Money, in this week’s podcast I’m answering your biggest questions about how money impacts love, partnership, and power dynamics.

Today’s episode might feel a little different - but in a really good way. I’m talking about becoming more magnetic to money… and yes, I know that phrase can sound a bit wanky. Stay with me. This isn’t about pretending money doesn’t matter, manifesting from the couch, or forcing yourself to “love” money. It’s about something much more practical: 👉 your relationship with money.

February is Love and Money month, so this week on Chill & Prosper, we’re talking about something that so many of us wrestle with: how money impacts our relationships.

If you’ve been feeling a quiet nudge that your prices need to change - I’ve got a juicy bonus episode for you to dive into. Honestly, there’s never a perfect time to raise your prices, but there are plenty of good reasons. And if you’re feeling that inner “this isn’t sustainable anymore” feeling… it’s worth listening to. In this new Chill & Prosper ep, I’m talking about pricing - not just from a strategy perspective, but from an energetic and mindset one too.

January can come with a lot of pressure to feel motivated, inspired, and ready to conquer the year. And sometimes… that energy just isn’t there. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m talking about how to keep the New Year energy going all year - because your motivation will dip, and that’s completely normal.

If you started your business (or life) for freedom, but somehow ended up doing everything yourself… this episode is for you. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m talking about support - not just in business, but across your whole life.

This month we’re talking about upgrades and goal setting and I know this makes some people freeze, procrastinate, or secretly worry you’ll disappoint yourself. So, in this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m talking about incremental upgrades - small, symbolic changes that help you grow without burning out or psyching yourself out.

January can come with a lot of noise. Big goals. New planners. Hustle energy. And a sneaky feeling that if you don’t get it right now, you’re already behind. Let’s opt out of that. In this week’s episode of Chill & Prosper, I’m sharing a much more realistic way to think about goal setting - one that actually works with your life, not against it.

This year, I’m introducing something brand new for our community: a full year of monthly money mindset themes to help you upgrade your money mindset, stay confident, and create more abundance in your life and business.

As the year wraps up, there’s a lot of pressure to reflect perfectly, plan brilliantly, and magically reinvent yourself by January 1. Let’s opt out of that. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m sharing a very real end-of-year reset - not about hustle or goals, but about permission.

In this week’s episode of Chill & Prosper, I’m sharing what happened last week when I pushed myself too hard, ignored my body, and had to make the heartbreaking (but powerful) decision to cancel plans to see Oprah.

The holidays can bring up a lot around money - old stories, family patterns, comparison, guilt, pressure, overspending… sometimes all at once. It’s meant to be a joyful season, but for many entrepreneurs it’s also overwhelming. You’re navigating family dynamics, business decisions, boundaries, traditions, and your own money wounds - often while trying to stay calm and present. So this week, I’m re-releasing one of my most popular episodes: 🎧 Avoiding money triggers during the holidays Inside, I share practical tools and mindset shifts to help you feel more grounded and less reactive this time of year

Do you find it hard to let go of control? To ask for help? To trust others with your business or your home? As a Virgo Ruler, I know I do so in this week’s Chill & Prosper we’re diving right into it.

Inside, I share: ✨ My journey with hiring nannies, housekeepers, and home managers ✨ How to know when outsourcing at home is the better business investment ✨ What to do when you’re scared to trust someone with tech or passwords ✨ Why parent guilt is such a wasted emotion (and what to role model instead) ✨ How to practise receiving help without shame

Woohoo! Welcome to Step 3 of our Money Manifesting Challenge. Today’s video is my FAVE! This is perfect for you if you struggle to do the personal development things that you know you SHOULD do. You know, like daily journaling or meditating. I’ve never been good at those. So Step 3 is designed to help you feel good NOW in that frustrating lag time between when you state a goal and when it shows up. Register for the Challenge at https://www.denisedt.com/challenge

Yay! Here we go… Step 2! Today we’re going to get specific about how much money you’d like to manifest. I hope Step 1 really showed you that without decluttering your negative beliefs, you’ll constantly be fighting and sabotaging yourself... Working on this step is a game changer because it stops you from unconsciously blocking your success. Ok - let’s move on to step two, which sounds easy in theory, but I see so many people unconsciously mess it up. Register for the Challenge at https://www.denisedt.com/challenge

It’s time! The 5x5 Money Manifesting Challenge starts NOW! Watch this video to find out about Step 1 of the money manifesting process and your actions for today. Today’s step is Symbolic Decluttering! Decluttering might sound simple, but it’s one of the most powerful ways to shift your energy and make room for more money. Even if you’ve done it before, clutter always creeps back in and it can quietly block your flow. I like to think of abundance like a river. When it’s clear, money and opportunities flow easily. When it’s full of old junk like outdated beliefs, half-finished projects, or messy paperwork, everything slows down. So today, your task is to declutter symbolically for abundance. It could be cleaning out your wallet, tidying your workspace, canceling unused subscriptions, or letting go of something that feels like old energy. These actions might seem small, but they’re incredibly powerful. They show the Universe you’re ready for something new to flow in. Register for the Challenge at https://www.denisedt.com/challenge
