Kristine welcomes guest Liz Femi who shares the wisdom she has gained from a decade spent building her business muscles and shifting her stories around what was possible for her.

After growing up in Nigeria, Liz graduated from Harvard – twice. She left that institution with a Master's degree in English Education and an MFA in acting, and (you guessed it) a mountain of student loan debt. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, she was juggling a handful of part-time jobs, slowly burning out, and wondering if she would ever be able to enjoy a life of creativity and contentment. Once Liz committed to expanding her financial education, the full and fruitful life that she envisioned for herself started to take shape: an artistic career, two businesses, one husband, one daughter, and, most recently, a new home.

Kristine welcomes guest Dominique Toney who shares why she started surrounding herself with layers of financial support in preparation for a big break that she believed would happen – and how all of that preparation helped her fully enjoy that financial windfall when it finally came. Dominique embodies the typical and frustrating dichotomies faced by many artists and freelancers. She has elevated her acting and singing talents to a professional level – and she has six-figures of student load debt. She books work in the industry that she loves – and she's had times when finding enough money to repair her car or pay her dentist was a total struggle. And, she knew that she had some choices to make that would shape her financial future. And now, Dominique's choices – to start educating herself about money, to utilize the tool of an accountability partner, and to learn from other people's mistakes – are truly paying off.

Miata and Kristine meet to share some new perspectives on what "taking responsibility" can truly mean – and why it is often viewed as a negative judgement rather than utilized as a positive tool. Miata shares a question that you can ask yourself to "open the doors of possibility," and Kristine offers some strategic guidance for when you're feeling a little helpless or a little hopeless.

Kristine welcomes guest Elena Campbell-Martinez who shares the shifts that happened in her life once she discovered that her money mindset held the missing pieces of her personal financial puzzle.

Elena has pretty much ALL of the other pieces of the money puzzle: she has money, she owns a house, she is a self-proclaimed "numbers nerd," and, in addition to her acting career, she also had a career keeping track of millions of dollars for a major studio. Too often people think that getting guidance about money is only necessary if you are someone who needs more income or who is scared of math or who is "not good" with money. But Elena is proof that taking steps to improve your relationship with money can help you feel purposeful and prosperous on a whole new level – no matter what stage of your financial life you are at. Elena communicated with her partner, shifted some of her old money stories around greed and desire, and started a brand new side biz.

Kristine welcomes guest Michael who affirms that a complete financial overhaul IS possible within just a few years.

Michael went from being in the lowest financial situation of his life (no phone, no car, not a lot of cash) to owning a home, consistently funding his retirement, and having a completely different outlook on life. We're doing this podcast episode a little differently in that we're not going to tell you any specifics about who Michael is or what he does – because we want to focus your attention on what's most important about his story – which is that it could be your story, too.

Miata and Kristine sift through the emotions that get churned up around money and discuss the rewards of facing our fears. Miata shares how she shifted from a Pain Cycle to a Power Cycle once she looked her $82,000 of debt straight in the eye, and Kristine backs up her declaration that "clarity is only for the brave."

Kristine welcomes guest Regina Melzer who shares how her ideal side biz was born.

Regina was in a situation familiar to many performers: A wildly talented actor who was doing restaurant gigs that drained her of her energy and supplementing those with a little side biz as a petsitter (where she was chronically undercharging). That sounds very typical, right? But what isn't typical – at all – is how committed Regina was to enduring the discomfort that comes along with learning how to make more money... and, by doing so, she made more money. She embraced coaching and community and courage – and shifted her circumstances. Full show notes and more info here: https://abundancebound.com/the-podcast/
