Art of Abundance with Leisa Peterson

My guests for Episode 223 are Catherine Greenspan and Elizabeth Atkins who together run Two Sisters Writing and Publishing.  

We’re discussing the process of writing and publishing your book and what you need to know to make it a success.  Elizabeth and Catherine have both published several books of their own, as well as, ghost written books for many illuminaries.  Their experience has been invaluable to me as I considered the process of self-publishing my new book and I couldn’t hope for two more knowledgeable and heart centered mentors to help all of us navigate these waters.  Enjoy!

More about Elizabeth:

Elizabeth is a best-selling author, actress, TV host and award-winning journalist who uses a multimedia platform to inspire people to unlock their infinite potential and live with passion, prosperity, health and happiness. Elizabeth’s desire to empower others springs from a trailblazing matrix of colorblind love and courage from her mother, an African American and Italian judge, and her father, a former Roman Catholic priest who was English, French Canadian and Cherokee.  They taught her to challenge the status quo by writing innovative ideas to edutain people.

More about Catherine:

Catherine holds a Master of Arts degree in Writing from the University of San Francisco and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of Michigan.

Today’s guest is someone I’ve admired from afar for a few years after reading here super digestible and easy to understand books about finance.  Michele Cagan is a CPA, author, and financial mentor. With more than 20 years of experience, she offers unique insights into personal financial planning, from breaking out of debt and minimizing taxes, to maximizing income and building wealth.

During our conversation today, Michelle is giving you lots of tips and tools about managing your money and how you can do it more easily and effectively.  She’s a pro when it comes to noticing how we often overcomplicate things and then leave ourselves tied up in knots without understanding.  Instead, using Michele’s approach, I think you’ll find money management a lot easier than you ever thought.

Michele has written numerous articles and books about personal finance and investing including Budgeting 101, The Infographic Guide to Personal Finance, Investing 101, Stock Market 101, and Financial Words You Should Know. In addition to her financial know-how, Michele has a not-so-secret love of painting, Star Wars, and chocolate. She lives in Maryland with her son, dogs, cats, and koi.

It is common to think that life is like a finite pie where there is never enough to go around.  

This is not true.  

Instead we live in an abundant world where anything is possible as long as you can dream it, innovate it and create it. Creating wealth and abundance is about noticing that we have infinite potential to create the life of our dreams.  I’ll also state that this doesn’t just magically happen because we sit around and think wonderful thoughts all day long. 

Nope.  

Wealth happens because we apply ourselves to the opportunities surrounding us and we bring things into reality — like building a business, saving money and investing our resources so they can continue to grow and expand.  

You don’t have to have money to make money, but you do need wisdom and you need to recognize and invest the capital you do have — that includes your mental capital, your relationship capital, your health capital and from there you need to apply yourself to achieving your goals.  

No one ever ends up shrinking their way to wealth — they create it.  

If you haven’t created it for yourself as of yet, today is the perfect day to get started

“The greatest reward in becoming a millionaire is not the amount of money that you earn. It is the kind of person that you have to become to become a millionaire.” ~Jim Rohn 

In today’s podcast I am sharing about my own journey to creating a life of prosperity.  

I’ve spent the past several years researching, developing and chronicling a system that teaches us how to embrace authentic responsibility for our own financial and spiritual wellness and how that relates to living prosperously.  This pathway is the core focus of my upcoming book, The Mindful Millionaire.  It reveals the mechanics shaping the way we feel about life and our money.  It teaches us how we can create our experiences in ways that empowers us to respond consciously to every opportunity and every facet of life.  Through this we learn how to embrace our own wholeness, completeness and abundance.   

Joining me for a heartfelt conversation about her own journey through this work is my client and friend, Jenny Joy.  Jenny beautifully shares what she’s learned about herself and her own potential for greatness.  What she shares is profoundly inspiring as it reveals that no matter where we find ourselves in life, there is always the opportunity to experience infinite joy, happiness and abundance. 

XOXO, Leisa

Back for the second time on the show is author, Nanci Danison.  Nanci is sharing what it really means to create a new reality for your life going forward.  After experiencing an extensive afterlife experience, which followed her “death” during surgery in 1994, Nanci began to devote her time disseminating the spiritual information she had learned within the afterlife.

Nothing she experienced or learned in the afterlife confirmed any of her former religious beliefs, the human origin of which she witnessed in the form of a documentary-type review of Earth history. In its place, she was given a much simpler, kinder, more loving (but completely unlike human thinking) explanation of God/Source and its purpose for creating the universe. During her afterlife experience, she accessed Universal Knowledge (Source’s knowledge) to answer her questions about who she is, who God is, where heaven and hell are, the purpose of life, why we’re here on Earth, and what the one true religion is.

Since then, Nanci has written 5 books about her experiences in the afterlife, including  “BACKWARDS: Returning to Our Source for Answers,” “BACKWARDS Guidebook,” BACKWARDS Beliefs: Revealing Eternal Truths Hidden in Religions,” “Answers From The Afterlife,” and “Create a New Reality–Move Beyond Law of Attraction Theory”

In Nanci’s words:

I died March 14, 1994, at the age of 43, but voluntarily returned to human life to share what I could remember of the wonders I experienced and truths I learned in the afterlife. At the time of my death, I had been an attorney practicing law in a 270 attorney regional law firm for 17 years as a litigator in the labor and employment law areas, and as a transactional and health care fraud defense lawyer in the health law field. I brought my training and skills as a trial lawyer to the evidence I encountered and challenged within the afterlife.

Before retirement, I was a practicing health lawyer and former litigator for 36 years, first with a prestigious, Midwestern 270-attorney regional law firm, and then as a solo practitioner. I was listed from 1998-2018 in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers, a listing of the 5% of U.S. attorneys voted by their peers to have “A” level legal skills and very high ethics. I was also named one of Central Ohio’s “Top Lawyers” for 2009-2018 in the practice areas of Medicare/Medicaid law and health care law by Columbus CEO Magazine. In 1998, I was listed in Who’s Who in American Law for recognized leadership and competency.

Hold onto your seats folks – today I’m interviewing my (new) friend Vicki Howie about the Art of Boosting Your Chakras and what you will be learning will blow your mind.  I came across Vicki’s work while writing my book this past fall and the information she shares with her audience is incredibly powerful and inspiring.  Today, we’re talking about chakra life cycles, manifesting what you most want when it comes to physical resources like money, how to be more in tune with your truest self and much more.

*****

Vicki Howie is a Certified Hypnotherapist and Chakra Innovative who is literally turning the chakra world on its head. Whereas traditional yoga teachings emphasize moving the kundalini energy upward, Vicki teaches that in this era of spiritual ascension, many of us actually need to emphasize the opposite – and ground down (especially if we want to be great manifestors!).

Vicki is the Creator of Chakra Boosters Healing Tattoos, which are now worn by satisfied customers in 55 countries and she’s the Co-Creator of the critically-acclaimed contemporary healing album, Chakra Love. She is also the author of The Key to the Chakras as well as Your Roadmap to Life Mastery: Discover the 7-Year Cycles That Shape Your Life and Boost Your First Chakra for Grounding and Prosperity.

She has created a bevy of chakra meditations and chakra-related courses such as Chakra Abundance, Supercharge Your Chakras and Tapping Through the Chakras that you can find on her website. And if you like youtube, Vicki currently has over 270 free chakra-related videos on youtube – and she creates a new one every week! It’s Vicki’s greatest joy and deepest desire to awaken you to the incredible power that lies within you. She wants you to understand how easy and fun it is to tap into your chakras, so you can live your life to the fullest and be everything you were meant to be!

Hold onto your seats – today’s conversation is one of my favorites because the honesty and sincerity that gets shared my guests, John Schneider and David Auten is second to none. With their writing and speaking for DebtFreeGuys.com (Debt Free Guys LLC) and their Queer Money podcast, David and John help queer people live fabulously, not fabulously broke.  

During our conversation, they share their backstory about figuring out they were in way over their head with credit card debt and how they went about turning their lives around.  They also discuss their commitment to helping people in the LGBT community who often have similar challenges with spending more than they can afford and unconsciously getting into debt.

David and John are regular contributors to Forbes and their work has appeared in Motley Fool, Yahoo Finance, Huffington Post, Business Insider and Time to name a few.

I first met today’s guest, David Ralph, in 2015 when he had me on his podcast, Join Up Dots.  It was a great experience as it was the first time I had been interviewed for a podcast and David was very interested in my journey of leaving the corporate world to start my own company.  His response helped me see the value of sharing my story that has now been incorporated into my new book, iPROSPER.  I can honestly say that meeting David and learning from him has been a huge highlight of my entrepreneurial journey — it is an honor to have him back on the show.

David has a great story of his own — he also had to find the courage to leave the corporate world where he had been working for over 20 years as a trainer to start his podcast which now has had over 3,000,000 downloads.

During today’s conversation, you’ll be hearing about what happened when David’s podcast really took off and how it eventually led him down the path of burnout.  Realizing that it was time to make some big changes, David took stock in what was most important and began restructuring his business in support of his life and his family.  I am sure you’ll relate on so many levels to what he is sharing, plus you get to listen to David’s unique and ever charming way of telling stories.
