What if the biggest barrier to your abundance isn’t the economy, but the energy you carry around money?
In this episode of Career Reshaped, Natasha and Pauline speak with Danya, a fifth-generation clairvoyant and intuitive healer whose clients include CEOs, celebrities, and even royalty. With a decade of experience guiding people to align with financial flow, Danya explains why the real shift comes when we stop focusing only on the law of attraction and embrace the law of action
You’ll learn why getting stuck in “victim mode” keeps opportunities out of reach, and how small but intentional actions restore clarity and momentum. Danya also shares her go-to 60-second reset rituals—from using water to visualise negativity washing away, to simple practices with a cup of coffee—that help release scarcity thinking and ground you back into strategy
The conversation also uncovers the money myths that hold people back, like “money is the root of all evil” or the fear that earning more will expose you as a fraud. These hidden stories shape how much we allow ourselves to receive, and Danya explains how to uncover your personal money story, find a healthy financial baseline, and expand beyond it with confidence
Beyond the mindset, Natasha and Pauline explore the practical side of valuing your time, energy, and services. They discuss why being firm with your worth isn’t selfish—it’s essential—and how shifting the question from “Is it expensive?” to “Is it expansive?” can change the way you see investments in your career and personal growth
This episode is designed for anyone who feels blocked—whether in money, career, or self-belief. With a mix of practical tools, fresh perspectives, and empowering insights, it will help you take action toward greater abundance and peace of mind.

| 0:02 | Everyone, welcome back to Career Reshaped. I'm Natasha. And I'm Pauline. |
| 0:06 | And today we are tackling a topic that's top of mind for many Australian workers |
| 0:12 | right now. It's negotiating a pay increase during your performance review. |
| 0:18 | Absolutely. Performance review season can be a mix of emotions, right? You're |
| 0:23 | reflecting on your achievements. You're getting feedback and hopefully thinking |
| 0:27 | about a paper. That's right. Hopefully, |
| 0:32 | but asking for more money can feel a little bit daunting. So, we are here to |
| 0:39 | break down some key strategies to help you confidently negotiate a pay increase |
| 0:45 | in the workplace. First things first, know your worth. Before you even step |
| 0:51 | into that review meeting, do your research. What's the going rate for your |
| 0:55 | role and experience level in the market? Visit websites like Seek, Indeed, Glass |
| 1:00 | Door. They can give you a good benchmark of where things are at. This is crucial. |
| 1:06 | You need to come to the table with a realistic understanding of your market |
| 1:11 | value. So consider factors like your location. Sal can differ between cities |
| 1:17 | like Melbourne and Perth, for example. So your industry and your specific |
| 1:22 | skills and accomplishment also come to play. |
| 1:26 | Exactly. And that leads to our second point. Document your achievements. Don't |
| 1:31 | rely solely on your manager's memory or your own. Throughout the review period, |
| 1:36 | keep a record of your key achievements, successful projects, and any times that |
| 1:40 | you've gone above and beyond. Start writing them down. Something's happened, |
| 1:45 | write it down or have a reminder go off at the end of each week to jot it down |
| 1:49 | and think about what you've done that week. Quantify your achievements |
| 1:53 | whenever possible. Numbers and data speak volumes. |
| 1:58 | Exactly. This is your ammunition. When you're making your case for a higher |
| 2:02 | salary, you can refer to the specific examples of your contribution and the |
| 2:08 | value that it brings to the company. Like Natasha, like you just said, you |
| 2:13 | cannot assume or rely on your manager to be doing any of that and remembering any |
| 2:19 | of the things that you have done. And the next important step is that |
| 2:24 | timing is key. The performance review is the neutral time to discuss |
| 2:29 | compensation, but it's always wise to plant the seed beforehand. A casual |
| 2:35 | conversation with your manager a few weeks prior. Mentioning your |
| 2:39 | satisfaction with the role and your hopes for discussing growth and |
| 2:44 | compensation in the upcoming review can be a good way to open the dialogue. |
| 2:49 | Exactly. cuz this can also take some of that pressure off the formal meeting. So |
| 2:55 | now during the review itself, you can be a lot more confident and professional. |
| 3:00 | Clearly state your desire for a salary increase and back it up with the |
| 3:06 | research and your achievements that you have prepared. Frame it as an investment |
| 3:11 | in retaining you as a valuable employee because you are an investment for the |
| 3:16 | company. Oh, 100%. and be prepared to negotiate, |
| 3:20 | not demand. Don't be too mean about it. Your initial |
| 3:24 | request might not be met with an immediate yes. It's not a guarantee. Be |
| 3:29 | open to a conversation and understand the company's perspective. Perhaps |
| 3:34 | there's simply no room for negotiation on the percentage increase. Or maybe |
| 3:38 | there are other benefits you can discuss. It could be increased |
| 3:42 | superenuation contributions or professional development opportunities. |
| 3:46 | maybe they could pay for you to be upskilled which are also really valuable |
| 3:52 | in any industry. That's actually a really good point. So |
| 3:57 | it's just not about always the salary is what else can you get? Things like |
| 4:03 | additional leave, flexible working arrangements, training budgets can |
| 4:07 | significantly enhance your overall compensation package. So if there is no |
| 4:15 | budget to give you that increase, well what else can they give you? Exactly. |
| 4:22 | and also remember to listen actively to your manager's feedback and be receptive |
| 4:26 | to their perspective. Understand any concerns they might have and address |
| 4:32 | them calmly and professionally. It is negotiation. It's a conversation. It's |
| 4:38 | not a fight. that's right. Even though it can be |
| 4:42 | frustrating, you're right. It's not a fight. You are professional. Just |
| 4:46 | remember that. But look, the last point that I want to add to this negotiation |
| 4:53 | is know when to walk away. That's really important. So, if you feel your request |
| 4:59 | is consistently undervalued and there's just no room for movement or other |
| 5:06 | alternative benefits that we just discussed, you might need to consider |
| 5:10 | your options. However, aim for positive and respectful conclusion to the |
| 5:16 | negotiation regardless of the outcome. And we're not I'm not advocating that |
| 5:22 | you immediately resign and look for another job. But if you feel as though |
| 5:27 | you are undervalued, then it might be something that you need to consider, |
| 5:32 | right? But you need to remember that negotiating a pay rise can feel |
| 5:36 | challenging. But by being prepared, knowing your worth, and communicating |
| 5:40 | effectively, you can significantly increase your chances of a successful |
| 5:45 | outcome in the performance review or anytime you have that conversation. This |
| 5:50 | is true. And I would like to also add that if you don't ask, the answer will |
| 5:56 | always be no. Anyway, uh what are your experiences with a pay rise negotiation? |
| 6:04 | Love to hear from you. So, if you can share your tips and stories in the |
