Bare Knuckle Sports Talk 4_11_26

Hali Laricey

As your Functional Wellness Specialist, I help you decode your symptoms and feel whole again.

I was shaped by love, loss, and the fire of watching my family fight for answers.

My story didn’t begin with a diagnosis.

It began in a home filled with laughter, love, and the quiet wisdom of generations living under one roof. I grew up watching my family care for one another, especially as illness began touching the people we loved most.

When my grandmother was diagnosed with advanced cancer, everything changed. I watched my mom become a fierce advocate—a Wonder Woman in real life—searching endlessly for answers no one seemed to have. She didn’t accept “there’s nothing more we can do,” and neither could I.

That passion—born of heartache and hope—became part of me.

I saw it again when other loved ones faced devastating diagnoses. I learned what it means to research late into the night, to ask the hard questions, and to trust that there’s always more to the story than the surface shows.

Maybe you’ve felt that too—that inner knowing that something’s being missed. Maybe you’ve been dismissed, overlooked, or told “everything’s normal” when nothing feels right.

If so, I want you to know: you’re not alone. And you don’t have to stay stuck.

After all, you know it’s not just about money…Leisa shares...

After working on the relationship I had with myself for over 20 years and then bringing these discoveries back into my relationship with money, I came to realize how common it is for many of us to get confused about what it means to truly value ourselves.

More common than not, we believe our value comes from external sources like money, relationships, and beauty.

However, this isn’t really what causes true self-value. Instead it comes from inside and no amount of money, or success for that matter, is going to change it. Which is why you can have all the money in the world and still feel poor inside. 

True freedom comes as a result of improving how you feel about yourself.

Many people lose out on money, time and opportunity every day because they don’t understand how to shift the inner narrative that impacts their their peace of mind.

My work is unique because it comes, from the essential knowledge in my core, from my intuition, and from my skills, which have been refined for more than two decades of practice, during which I’ve worked with thousands of clients from all over the world. I share my knowledge with those who value it and dedicate their time and energy to a greater purpose: that of knowing themselves. 

My approach is not mystical, it is practical. I inspire people to overcome their limitations. I believe true self-realization should generate an impact on the material dimension because that is where change can be actualized and applied.

For many people, it isn’t until you go through this process that you achieve financial independence and economic freedom.

Quite a lot, actually.

Rachel Allen - copywriter, author + Chief Marketing Officer - joins me to discuss Jacques Goldstein's gorgeous picture book Bertolt. 

We discuss why it's a masterclass in messaging, what grief has to do with your best creative work + why the people who say the least often understand the most.

FF: How Much Does the Government Spend?

The Government is spending more and more dollars every year beyond the value being created. We cover how these costs have ballooned in the last century, what replacing an A10 or an F15 fighter jet costs the government, how this war in Iran will affect us for many years to come, and how insurance rates have skyrocketed since the conflict began. While the U.S. government is taking too much from its citizens and spending it poorly, small businesses are actually the ones growing and hiring more people. We talk about how small businesses can serve their community better than an massive and slow one. Do you like how the government is spending your money? We cover the poll of what U.S. citizens think of the spending here. If we could shrink the size and spending of the government, how much more money would you have in your pocket?
