When you start asking deeper questions about yourself and your life, it has an immediate effect on the way you do business and how you think about yourself. This week we ask the questions: Who are you? Where are you? Why are you here? What are you doing about it? What do you want? The […]

If your business has a big purpose or a powerful mission, you may find yourself feeling very small at times. It can be daunting to face major world challenges, large numbers, unethical competitors or a significant and sizeable goal. So how can you manage your own feelings when facing your noble goal? Sarah: Welcome to […]
Why wait any more? You’ve been doing it for so long. Waiting for more. Always more. Just so you can do what you want. It’s so easy to wait. It’s the obvious thing to do. You need to wait until you have more time. You have to wait until there’s more money. You can always […]
In a world that’s demanding a more conscious and responsible approach to business, how do we bring our different disciplines and expertise to the same table? How do we combine the linear with a more holistic approach? Who’s responsible for the wider purpose and impact of the business? And how do we manage so many […]
If you could look inside most business owners’ minds you’d find a lot of thoughts. You’d probably find plenty of stress, worry and anticipation of the future. There’d be analysis of what’s happened in the past, scenario planning and a series of what-ifs. Add into that thoughts about the family, the state of the world […]
It’s no longer the time of dreaming the future. It’s the time of making it. Every word, every thought, every feeling, every action is your contribution to the making of the future. This is not an onerous burden where a mistake or negative thought is destroying the potential for beautiful outcomes. It’s a joyful, creative […]
Do you ever wonder what people will say about you when you’re no longer here on this planet? Or even how other people see you now? How much does it matter to you, what you’re known for? And if you could leave a lasting legacy, what would it be? Sarah: Welcome to the Spirit of […]
Many business owners groan when they hear the word patience. It’s so hard to be patient when there’s a lot to get done and pressure to grow as fast as possible. So where does patience come in? When is it useful and when is it unnecessary? Sarah: Welcome to the Spirit of Business, episode […]
More and more, in today’s world, people are questioning their sense of purpose, the way they work and the way they live and then decisions have to be made. Do you stay in your comfort zone or do you expand into unknown territory? Sarah: Welcome to the Spirit of Business, episode number 97 […]
In every business and project there’s one person who’s the source or original creator, according to Peter Koenig, who’s been researching this topic for many years. When you understand the role of the source, whether it’s you or someone else, it’s much easier to create harmonious relationships and avoid conflict and misunderstandings. Here’s an article […]
It’s likely that almost everyone feels inadequate on the inside some of the time. And probably some of the people who don’t are very disconnected from themselves. The question is what to do with it. Do you pretend you’re much stronger than you feel? Do you show your vulnerability at every opportunity? Or are there […]
In the last few days, I’m seeing some people who feel separated from their soul. They have lost motivation for life and find it hard to feel any joy or purpose. It may appear to them as if their soul has had enough of life. It’s tired and it needs to sleep. It has no […]

What are the elements of a great relationship with money?

When everyone in a team is aligned with the core purpose of a business, it should be much easier to make decisions and collaborate.

“Almost all people experience some form of stress around money.” “When we understand what money is somehow we come to understand what life is at the same time, and we become more human, more alive, more joyful. We have more space, more peace in our lives.” Listen to the podcast here: Sarah McCrum – Love Money […]
It feels like deeper transformation has been taking place in the run-up to this New Year than in any previous year. People are saying things to me like, “I can’t believe how fast I’m changing,” or “So much is shifting for me at the moment.” On the surface of life, the change is barely apparent. […]
We are in the middle of a great sifting. You may experience that many old thoughts, habits and ways of being are leaving you very quickly. It feels like you can’t go back to those ways ever again, even though you may have relied on them for many years until very recently. It can be […]
You may be tempted to say, “he’s depressed again.” “She’s always anxious.” “Here’s that pattern I’m so familiar with. I’ve seen it so many times before.” And then you’re free to dismiss the person who is reacting to life in this way. I invite you to look again and see what’s really going on. Go […]

If you’re purpose-centred and committed to doing good in your work, it’s very likely that you have some strangely dysfunctional beliefs and patterns around money that directly prevent you from being more successful. This is a pity because it would be good for all of us if more good people were more successful. If you […]
Idly I scroll through Telegram posts. It could equally be Facebook. One story after another of harm to human beings. It could equally be nature. The stories are horrifying. Every one of them a tragedy in a family far away from me. It could equally be a family close to me. These are things I […]
When I relaunched my book, Love Money, Money Loves You, recently, I received two messages from money specifically for the people who attended the launch parties. I’d like to share one of these messages with you today. As you read the following paragraphs, please imagine that the Energy of Money is speaking directly to you, […]
Humanity’s Team Live Event 2022 May 11 – Conscious Living & Our Moment of Choice from Humanitys Team on Vimeo.
There is an opening for us to alter our direction towards liberation. It’s simpler than you think and it’s now and for awhile to come. These openings occur from time to time, where certain energies and formations of life are more available to us. If we receive them and accept them, they are activated within […]
I’m searching for the language of liberation. I need new words to describe the experiences we are moving towards. My words feel old, unable to express fully the world that is coming into being. In the noise of world events, it’s hard to recognise the changes that are springing up everywhere. It’s so easy to […]
Host Helen Lee speaks with author, educator and business innovator Sarah McCrum, who specialises in improving people’s relationship with money and ultimately themselves and life. Both Helen and Sarah love leading people towards the great expansiveness we have within ourselves and the full utilisation of this, as well as the embracement and enjoyment of life. […]
There is a tenderness in the air. A sense of fragility. The old world is cracking, but the new world hasn’t been born yet. I try to do things the old way, but it’s tiring and feels empty. Almost pointless. Often I try again, wondering vaguely if there’s something I’m doing wrong. But it doesn’t […]
There is a change taking place in our financial systems that is so remarkable, and has emerged so unexpectedly, that I want to share it with you. If I look deeply into the energy of our current financial system it’s like looking at a tangled ball of wool. There is little natural order and a […]
In our old money story, we worked hard to make money. Some people were successful. Many struggled their whole lives to make ends meet. A few became so rich that they ended up owning almost everything that could be owned. They took over the land and resources of other countries and peoples, claiming them as […]
I keep being asked what I’m doing for Christmas. My original plan was to do as little as possible after a long and busy year. But a month ago I started having ideas. They were very inspiring. I came up with the name Liberate Humanity and registered the domain, liberatehumanity.com. It speaks so directly to […]
A young woman asked me a few days ago how to know what information she can trust. She’d been told she needed to leave her job if she didn’t receive a covid jab. It got me thinking about how I decide what to trust. I have some personal guidelines I use all the time. They’ve […]
Have you been feeling unusually heavy and exhausted this last few days? Many people are feeling this way so I want to reassure you that it’s not all about you. This is in the energy field and some people are more sensitive to it than others. In my experience, the best way to deal with […]
When you think about money, what comes up first in your mind? Do you feel confident that you could handle any financial situation that might arise in your life? It could be a financial crisis, a rapid acceleration of income, or a significant expansion in wealth. It seems impossible with what we’ve learned from our […]
Ваше глубинное чувство ценности постоянно находится рядом с вами. Большинство людей избегают его, потому что боятся глубины. Они считают, что будут в большей безопасности, если останутся на поверхности жизни, сравнивая себя с другими и стараясь делать то, что от них ожидают другие. Но в этом нет никакого удовлетворения. Это приводит к бесконечному поиску себя и […]
Внутри вас есть глубокое, темное, прохладное место, где вы знаете ценность. Это колодец бесконечной глубины, который неподвижен. Он соединяет вас с океаном ценности, который находится в самой жизни. Когда вы знаете ценность, вы знаете богатство жизни. Признательность и благодарность – это естественное выражение ценности. Целостность, или цельность, – это чувство осознания ценности. Здесь нет вопросов […]
Your deep sense of value is very close to you all the time. Most people avoid it because they’re afraid of depth. They believe they’re safer if they stay on the surface of life, comparing themselves with others and trying to do what others expect of them. But there’s no satisfaction in this. It leads […]
There is a deep, dark, cool place within you where you know value. It’s a well of infinite depth that is still. It connects you to the ocean of value that lies within life itself. When you know value, you know the wealth of life. Appreciation and gratitude are the natural expressions of value. Integrity, […]
Мы необычайно чувствительные существа. Большинство из нас выросло, зная только о пяти органах чувств, с помощью которых мы получаем доступ к физическому миру и взаимодействуем с ним. Но это лишь малая часть того, что мы способны ощущать. Мы давно почитаем художников, которые чувствуют больше, чем мы можем воспринять. Великие художники передают через свои работы невысказанные […]
Вы, наверняка, знаете, являетесь ли вы одним из высокочувствительных людей (тех, которые интенсивнее прочих реагируют на окружающий мир) или нет. Если же вы не уверены в этом, вот список вопросов Элейн Аарон, которая впервые начала исследовать высокочувствительных людей в 1990-х годах: Легко ли вас подавляют такие вещи, как яркий свет, сильные запахи, грубые ткани или […]
We are extraordinarily sensitive beings. Most of us grew up learning only about the five senses through which we access and interact with the physical world. But this is such a tiny part of what we’re capable of sensing. We have long honoured artists who sense more than we can ordinarily perceive. Great artists convey […]
Кого ты винишь в том, что не можешь получать удовольствие от жизни? Свой бизнес, потому что он накладывает множество обязательств? Правительство, потому что оно принимает неправильные решения? Свою команду, потому что они не выполняют свои задачи? Своих инвесторов, клиентов, нескончаемый список дел? Своего супруга, потому что он ожидает от вас слишком много? Или потому что […]
You’ll know if you’re highly sensitive. And just in case you’re not sure, here’s a list of questions by Elaine Aaron who first started researching highly sensitive people in the 1990s: Are you easily overwhelmed by such things as bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens nearby? Do you get rattled when you have […]
Если когда-либо и было время прояснить свои ценности, то это сейчас. Доктор Джон Демартини предлагает полезный способ определения того, что вы цените. Он говорит: “Когда вы живете в соответствии со своими низшими ценностями, вам требуется постоянная внешняя мотивация, и вы подавляете свой гений. Когда вы живете в соответствии со своими высшими ценностями, вы обретаете вдохновение […]
If ever there was a time to clarify your values, it’s now. Dr John Demartini has a useful way of determining what you value. He says, “When you live according to your lower values you require continuous outside motivation and you suppress your genius. When you live according to your highest values you become inspired […]
Пару дней назад я написала пост о своем поиске радости в бизнесе. И я имела ввиду именно радость, а не удовольствие или счастье. Ко мне пришел вопрос: “А что, если бизнес – это священная деятельность?” Всего лишь два дня я рассматриваю и изучаю ответ на этот вопрос, и хотя еще рано делать какие-либо выводы, я […]
Earlier this week I wrote a blog about my search for joy in business. And I genuinely meant joy, rather than enjoyment or happiness. I found myself being offered a question: “What if business is a sacred activity?” I’ve now had all of two days to explore this, so it’s premature to come to any […]
Я нахожусь в поисках большей радости в своем бизнесе. Так легко вдруг оказаться той белкой в колесе, пытаясь незамедлительно решить все дела сразу. И все же несмотря на то, что я умею получать от этого удовольствие, это состояние подавляет глубокую внутреннюю радость. Вчера я проснулась слишком рано. Впереди меня ждал длинный список дел и приближающийся […]
I’m on the search for more joy in business. It’s easy to get caught up in being busy, and whilst I can enjoy that, suppresses the deeper joy inside me. Yesterday I woke up way too early. I was feeling the pressure of a long list of things to do and an imminent deadline. But […]
There is too much polarisation in the world at the moment. I never imagined I would witness this in my lifetime. At times, it has the resonance of historic events that we would never ever want to repeat. This is a part of the big transformation going on in the world, and releasing/detoxing is an […]
Что такое цель? Цель – это принцип глубокого выравнивания, который помогает вам разобраться в своей жизни. Это способ выбора того, какие из множества событий вашей жизни, чтобы сосредоточиться, обратить внимание и создать смысл вокруг. Это также способ отстраниться от событий, делая их неактуальными или неважными. Откуда исходит цель? Ваше чувство цели вытекает из множества различных […]
Многие из нас стоят перед дилеммой: что лучше – игнорировать происходящее в мире, чтобы все время сохранять позитивный настрой? или следить за происходящим в мире, чтобы понимать ситуацию и иметь возможность внести личный вклад? Задача непростая. То, чему вы дарите свое внимание и энергию, растет. Но взращивать негатив не хочется. Было бы гораздо лучше взращивать […]
There’s a dilemma that many people are struggling with. Do you ignore what’s going on in the world so you can focus on being positive? Do you engage with what’s going on in the world so you’re aware and can make a difference? This is tricky. Whatever you pay attention to and give your energy […]
Я не могу больше смотреть на то, что происходит сейчас во всем мире. Мое сердце разрывается от лжи и манипуляций. Возможно, вы целиком доверяете правительству и корпорациям, которые его контролируют и заставляют выполнять свои требования. Или может, вы отказываетесь видеть, как искажается истина, хоть это происходит при свете дня. Вы можете безоглядно верить во все […]
Маркетинг – это прекрасное искусство, призванное создавать новые связи, рождать родственные чувства и менять жизни к лучшему. Определенная часть маркетинга направлена на осуществление обмена товарами и услугами за деньги, но это не является конечной целью. Это механизм, который служит общей цели – сделать жизнь лучше. Маркетинг является одним из тонких искусств, потому что невозможно предугадать, […]
I know of only one way to change my life if I don’t like what’s happening or where it’s heading. Create a new narrative and then live it as fully as I can. It isn’t always easy and it can get messy along the way, but it works. At times it’s miraculous. If you read […]
I cannot bear to look any more At the stories of today’s world. My heart is breaking Under the weight of lies and manipulation. I don’t care any more what you believe in Or whether we share the same narrative or not. You might trust the systems that govern us And the companies that push […]
Бывают времена, когда энергия мира кажется особенно сложной. Сейчас как раз один из таких периодов. Поэтому не удивляйтесь, если жизнь кажется вам сложнее, чем обычно. Энергия подобна погоде. Она постоянно движется и поэтому меняется. Иногда она более стабильна, а иногда неспокойна. Не бывает двух одинаковых дней. На самом деле, не бывает даже двух одинаковых моментов. […]
There are times when the energy of the world feels particularly challenging. Now is one of those times. So don’t be surprised if life seems more difficult than usual. Energy’s like weather. It’s constantly moving and therefore changing. Sometimes it’s more stable and sometimes it’s turbulent. No two days are ever exactly the same. In […]
В этой жизни мы играем в две игры: первая – игра в разобщение, вторая – игра в единение. Игра в разобщение Играя в разобщение, мы представляем, что независимы друг от друга. Верим, что можем спрятаться от других. Храним тайны. Коллекционируем вещи. Уверены, что если мы что-то получаем, кто-то другой непременно теряет. Боимся смерти, ибо потеряем […]
Being highly sensitive is both a challenge and a gift in today’s world. The challenge is that life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when your environment is noisy and busy or people around you have pushy, invasive energy. The gift is that you’re able to sense what’s going on around you with ease and […]
Пришло время ценить себя. Какой бы ни была ваша нынешняя история, нет сомнений, что вы делаете все возможное с теми внутренними и внешними ресурсами, которые вам известны. Также несомненно, что вам доступны и другие ресурсы, но к ним вы получите доступ только тогда, когда сможете оценить себя по достоинству. Ведь когда вы цените себя, вы […]
It’s time to appreciate yourself. Whatever your current story is, there is no doubt that you are doing the best you can with the inner and outer resources you are aware of. There is also no doubt that more resources are available to you, but they are very difficult to access until you appreciate yourself […]
Пока мы живы, мы получаем новую энергию и высвобождаем старую. Это фундаментальный принцип жизни. С новой энергией приходит код вселенной, необходимый для жизни в будущем. Это жизненные инструкции для каждой сферы по мере развития нашей жизни. В ней заключено послание для наших физических процессов (сердцебиение, дыхание и триллионы мельчайших движений, которые поддерживают нашу жизнь) и […]
As long as you’re alive you’re receiving new energy and releasing old energy. That’s a fundamental principle of life. The new energy is the universe coding for your future. It’s the life instructions for every aspect of your life as it unfolds. It holds the message of your physical processes (heartbeat, breathing and the trillions […]
Бывает момент, когда у вас появляется желание. Оно поднимается откуда-то изнутри вас. Оно искреннее и сердечное. Это то, что вы очень хотели бы испытать в будущем. Какое-то время спустя наступает момент, когда ваше желание осуществляется. К этому моменту его исполнение принимается как данность. Вы готовы к этому. Как будто его исполнение всегда было неизбежным. Но […]
There’s a moment when you have a wish. It rises up from somewhere inside you. It’s sincere and heartfelt. It’s what you’d love to experience in the future. There’s another moment when your wish is fulfilled. By the time it comes about it feels inevitable. You’re ready for it. It’s natural and graceful. It’s as […]
Вы думаете иначе, чем ваши друзья. Вы не хотите расстраивать своих друзей, ведь они так легко огорчаются по любому поводу, и поэтому решаете промолчать. Однако в отличие от вас они выражают свое мнение свободно. Вы слушаете и изо всех сил стараетесь сохранить самообладание, но внутри чувствуете растущее возмущение. Все таки нечестно, что они могут говорить […]
Your opinions are different from those of your friends. You don’t want to upset them, and they easily get upset, so you keep silent. They express their opinions freely. You listen and try hard not to be upset by them, but it disturbs you inside. It feels unfair that they can say what they want […]
Это непростая задача. Как вести уважительные, открытые разговоры на темы, в которых люди глубоко разделены или придерживаются радикально отличающихся друг от друга точек зрения? Самый простой ответ – общаться с теми, кто с нами согласен, отказываясь от общения с другими людьми. Так удобнее, но мне это кажется очень нездоровым. Иногда я не хочу выслушивать мнения […]
Мы – вибрационные существа. Поэтому вы можете представить, что каждый из нас под
