7.15 Why You’re Afraid to Ask for Money

In this launch episode, financial hypnotherapist Kiné Corder dives into why asking for money—whether it’s raising your prices, quoting new clients, or asking for a raise—feels so uncomfortable. She breaks down the money mentality types, the money cycle (earn, grow, protect, gift, enjoy), and the four core money emotion categories that often start in childhood and quietly run your financial life. Kiné also introduces the Prosperous Barber Journal and shares how financial hypnotherapy can help barbers and entrepreneurs charge what they’re really worth while building long-term wealth and retirement security.

  • (0:08:11) – Your core money beliefs are formed between ages 0–7 and then reinforced through your teen and early adult years.
  • (0:12:02) – Financial hypnotherapy can rapidly shift deep money patterns by creating a “life-changing event” in the brain.
  • (0:19:43) – True financial freedom requires mastering the full money cycle—especially growing and protecting your money, not just earning it.
