Episode 174. Setting Boundaries With Confidence

In today's episode, we talk about a very important topic, which is setting boundaries!

In my line of work, I teach women to use their discontentment with their bodies as a gateway to uncovering what needs to be relooked at internally.

This internal mindset work helps us accept our bodies just as they are and release all the baggage that no longer serves us, which for a lot of women includes excess weight. 

Today, I explain how boundaries play a big role in this process and how to set them in a confident way!

• Why I look at boundaries more like a river and not like a wall
• How boundaries in all areas of life are important for someone who is on a weight loss journey

Episode 171. Financial Confidence At Any Age With Chantal McNeily

My very special guest today is Chantal McNeily and we talk about financial confidence, a topic we haven't discussed much on this podcast yet.

Chantal offers not only a female perspective on the topic, but also a very empowering one.

We talk about going beyond having knowledge of your finances, all the way to trusting yourself to take action.

We also chat about the beautiful connection between our physical and our financial health, as well as the overlaps between our weight release and our financial wealth journeys.

Our conversation goes beyond just our bank accounts, which is an important message for women to hear as well as practice.

Chantal and I also discuss the topic of wealth itself, as building wealth is just half of the journey. She does a brilliant job at explaining what happens at the second half and how to navigate the financial reality of retirement.

• How to deal with fears when it comes to making big financial decisions or deciding to go from saving to investing
• What is the 'affluence circle' and how it is applicable to you
• How Chantal defines wealth and how to navigate the financial reality of retirement
