Sales Confidence, Money Blocks and Feeling Enough with Karina Klaus
Episode Overview
- Many women associate selling with sleazy stereotypes, which makes asking for money feel shameful or "icky".
- Only a small conscious part of the mind wants business success, while deeper subconscious beliefs can resist earning and visibility.
- Childhood messages about women, money and power can quietly shape how confident someone feels about charging for their work.
- Buying status symbols like designer bags may briefly soothe insecurity but won’t fix the deeper need to feel "I am okay".
- Sitting with feelings and questioning inner stories can reduce resistance, making it easier to talk about your offer authentically.
“You can feel your feelings. Everything's all right.”
What insights can experts and survivors share about addiction? This conversation pulls back the curtain on how money, sales and self-worth get tangled up, especially for women. Host Elizabeth “Bizzy” Chance chats with sales confidence coach Karina Klaus, who’s speaking from her new home base in Lisbon after trading rainy Berlin for a sunnier life as a "failed" digital nomad. Karina blends psychology and business to help women clear subconscious money blocks that make selling feel "icky" or manipulative.
You’ll hear them break down why asking for money can feel so uncomfortable, even when you love what you do. Karina explains that only "5%" of our mind is conscious, while the other "95%" holds childhood beliefs like sleazy car-salesman stereotypes and ideas such as "how dare you being a woman with money." That inner tug-of-war can leave women knowing exactly what to do in business, but never quite doing it.
The chat gets very real as they link money, designer bags and cosmetic procedures to the deeper question, "Am I enough?" Karina’s approach is about removing inner resistance rather than just "pushing through". She wants women to talk about their offers with the same relaxed enthusiasm they share a great restaurant or "that chocolate mousse"—without feeling fake or ashamed.
Along the way, Elizabeth connects this to her own recovery journey and the "hole in my soul" she once tried to fill with alcohol and external stuff. Both women keep coming back to the courage of sitting with feelings, instead of running from them or buying yet another bag.
If you’ve ever hated talking about prices, felt guilty charging for your services, or worried that success would make you "too much", this episode might have you asking: what beliefs about money and worth are quietly running your life—and are you ready to question them?
