Betty Cottam Bertels - Rapid Transformation Coach

Who are you without the conditioning? What if you could relax into your natural state? Worthy, deserving, lovable. Inherently good. Sounds like hype I know… but I see it every day.

Why did I call my podcast and business True Wealth with Betty? Because being wealthy is not about money, it is about APPRECIATING your life. We could appreciate ANYTHING. And different people appreciate different things. But a lot of times people have societal conditioning that gets in the way of their own authentic appreciation. Take fast fashion for example! To build a life worthy of your own authentic appreciation can be hard. What you find readily in the shops may not cut it. You might need to work a bit. You might need to hunt down vintage patterns and make your own. You have to know WHATS IMPORTANT TO YOU. With clothing, it might be the material, the pattern, the way it skims your hips. With your life more broadly, you have to know your values. My values are freedom, beauty, the planet and her inhabitants, music that makes me move, having my breakfast out in nature, adventure. Cycling. Coffee! ☕️ Sometimes we can forget what’s important. Sometimes we don’t have bandwidth to prioritise ourselves. But we need to MAKE IT! How can we be truly wealthy if we are just complaining about how stuck we are/how everything is against us? We have to CLAIM IT! Make it happen. Even when it’s hard. ESPECIALLY when it’s hard. ☕️🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🌅

Sometimes hope is a radical act of resistance. My latest podcast episode is all about hope and grief and creativity— is a legend, a talented artist, whose gorgeous paper cut swallow you can see hanging in my window here (I made it at Summercamp, in Ed’s fabulous workshop).
