What if every dollar you spend was either moving you closer to your abundant life… or further away from it?

In this episode, I’m diving deeper into one of the most powerful concepts I teach inside my five steps to creating an abundant life: using your money strategically in alignment with the life you truly want to live.

This step is where your vision and your finances finally come together.

Because abundance isn’t about ignoring money or saying yes to everything you want. True abundance is about consciously choosing how to use your money so it becomes a tool that moves you toward your future.

In this episode, I break down what it actually looks like to align your spending with your vision — whether you’re making small everyday purchases or big investments in your future.

You’ll learn:

• How to think about spending money as your future self
• Why every dollar you spend is a decision about the life you're creating
• The difference between real abundance and “false abundance” spending
• Why limitations around money actually increase the power of your choices
• How to identify what is truly most important in your vision
• Why saying no to some things is often the fastest way to say yes to your future
• The deeper fears and identity shifts that come up when you start investing in yourself

I also share personal stories from my own journey building my business — including the sacrifices I made early on — and a powerful example from my mom that shows how even small financial choices can move you toward a completely different life.

Because when you start using your money intentionally, something powerful happens.

Your spending stops being reactive. Your choices become aligned. And your money becomes one of the most powerful tools you have to create your abundant life.

What actually creates success behind the scenes of a thriving business?

In this episode, I’m sharing three more secrets to my success that I rarely talk about publicly — the deeper habits and mindset shifts that helped me build a six-figure coaching business and an abundant life.

A previous episode where I shared a few of these secrets became one of the most listened-to episodes on this podcast, so I decided to open the door even further and give you another behind-the-scenes look at how I actually operate.

These aren’t flashy strategies or marketing hacks. They’re the internal disciplines and decisions that quietly shape everything.

Inside this episode, I share:

• Why learning to make decisions quickly transformed my life and business
• How indecision drains your energy and keeps you stuck where you are
• The powerful question that changed how I take action toward my vision
• Why you don’t need to know every step to move toward your goals
• How taking scary investments and bold action created momentum in my business
• The mindset that helped me keep going through years of failure before success

For years, I set goals in my business and missed them. Over and over again.

But I kept moving forward anyway.

Because success isn’t about never failing — it’s about continuing to take the next step even when the path isn’t clear.

If you’re building a business, following a dream, or working toward your next level of abundance, this episode will remind you that the real secret isn’t perfection…

It’s momentum.

Why do some habits feel effortless… while others feel like a constant battle with yourself?

In this episode, I’m diving into the real reason habits either stick or fall apart — and it’s probably not what you think.

Most people believe building habits is about discipline, willpower, and forcing yourself to stay consistent. But in my experience, the habits that truly last don’t come from force… they come from alignment.

When a habit clicks, it sticks.

Inside this episode, I break down why certain habits suddenly become easy, why others feel like you’re constantly falling off the wagon, and how your different “inner selves” play a role in whether you follow through on the life you want to create.

We talk about:

• Why the actions you take ultimately shape your abundant life
• The difference between forced habits and habits that naturally stick
• How conflicting inner selves create self-sabotage
• Why habits become easier when your internal resistance dissolves
• The hidden beliefs that make certain habits feel harder than they actually are
• How to get all parts of yourself on board with the life you want

I also share personal examples of habits that suddenly “clicked” for me — from flossing and morning walks to business consistency and building this podcast.

Because the truth is this:

Your most abundant life isn’t created by one big decision. It’s created by the daily habits that become part of who you are.

And when those habits click… everything starts to move forward with a lot less effort.

One year. 53 episodes. And today, I’m sharing something I said I would record a year ago… but waited until it felt fully aligned.

In this anniversary episode, I’m taking you behind the curtain of my four ayahuasca ceremonies — what actually happened, what it felt like, and how these experiences profoundly shaped my relationship with abundance.

In this episode, I share:

• What ayahuasca actually is (and what it’s not)
• The importance of ceremony, safety, and intention
• What purging really represents energetically
• How releasing grief and shame expanded my capacity to receive
• Why abundance requires clearing the “weeds” before planting more

This episode is vulnerable. It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s a reflection of the deeper layers behind the business you see today.

Whether you’re curious about plant medicine or not — this conversation is ultimately about healing, growth, and choosing expansion.

What happens when you stop trying to “push through” money stress… and actually transform your relationship with money from the inside out?

In this episode, I’m interviewing Kristie Crate — former Empowered Abundance client, mom, multi-passionate powerhouse (photographer, nurse, business owner, and emerging coach) — about what it really looked like to move from constant money panic to a grounded, empowered relationship with money.

Kristie shares what was happening behind the scenes when she found me (including the stress of carrying major financial pressure), what felt most challenging once she started doing the work, and the exact mindset + money shifts that helped her stop living in survival mode.

We talk about:

• The moment she realized she couldn’t keep doing money the same way
• Why “small” habits (like daily coffee) can hold deep identity and emotional patterning
• How awareness changes everything — even before your external finances fully change
• The shift from feeling like a victim of money to feeling in control again
• How vision + numbers work together to build real confidence and trust
• The difference between “sacrifice” and empowered choice (and why that matters)
• Kristie’s income growth and what it taught her nervous system about receiving

If you’ve been in that place of checking your bank account with a tight chest, feeling like it’s all on you, or trying to hustle your way into safety… Kristie’s story will feel like a deep exhale — and a reminder that your relationship with money can change faster than you think.

This episode is a little different — and a really special one.

I’m sharing a conversation I had as a guest on the Can I Get a Refill podcast, hosted by Steph Bruno-Newton. The dialogue was so rich, honest, and expansive that I wanted to bring it here for you as well.

In this conversation, we dive deep into the intersection of money, manifestation, self-worth, and conscious creation — and why money is often the last place people experience true freedom, even after doing tons of personal growth work.

We talk about what manifestation actually is (beyond affirmations and vision boards), why money is tied so deeply to safety and identity, and how unconscious patterns quietly shape the reality you’re living right now.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why you’re always manifesting — even when it doesn’t feel intentional
• How money reflects your subconscious beliefs about safety, worth, and survival
• Why clarity and purpose matter more than timelines when manifesting abundance
• The difference between mindset work and grounded, actionable money awareness
• How to begin healing your relationship with money without shame or overwhelm
• Why awareness is the first real step to creating lasting abundance

This episode is especially for you if you’ve done “the mindset work,” understand manifestation conceptually, but still feel stuck, stressed, or conflicted around money — or if you’re craving a more grounded, integrated approach to abundance that actually works in real life.

What do you do when you genuinely want to help people — but not everyone can afford your work?

This is one of the most common (and emotionally charged) questions I hear from coaches, healers, and heart-led entrepreneurs. In this episode, I’m joined by Dan Johnson, founder of Next Level Nonprofits, to explore a powerful solution most business owners never seriously consider: pairing a for-profit business with a nonprofit arm.

We dive into how nonprofits can allow you to serve people who need your work but can’t afford your rates — withoutlowering your prices, overgiving, or burning yourself out. Dan shares how nonprofits actually function behind the scenes, why so many top entrepreneurs use this model, and how it can expand your impact, relationships, and sustainability.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why lowering your prices is not the answer to serving more people
• How nonprofits and for-profit businesses are designed to serve different needs
• When it does (and doesn’t) make sense to start a nonprofit
• How to create clean financial and legal separation between business and nonprofit work
• Why this model can increase brand trust, loyalty, and long-term impact
• How to think about money, service, and abundance in a more sustainable way

If you’ve ever felt torn between charging what you’re worth and wanting to help everyone, this episode offers a grounded, practical reframe — and a bigger vision for what’s possible when your business foundations are solid.

If you’ve ever felt like you should feel more abundant by now — but instead you’re riding an emotional roller coaster of hope, disappointment, and self-doubt — this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the biggest (and most overlooked) reasons people fall out of abundance: unmet expectations. Not lack of money. Not lack of effort. Expectations — and the stories we tell ourselves when reality doesn’t match what we thought should happen.

I share why abundance isn’t about being happy all the time or having everything go your way, but about expanding your capacity to hold all of life — the highs and the lows — without spiraling into shame, judgment, or “something is wrong with me” thinking.

You’ll hear:

• Why abundance is a way of being, not a financial milestone
• How disappointment is often the first domino in an emotional downward spiral
• What I call the expectation roller coaster — and how it quietly sabotages your sense of enoughness
• How unmet expectations around money, business, and life create stress even when “nothing is wrong”
• A simple awareness practice to help you catch the moment you fall out of abundance — and shift faster

I also share a personal story from the early days of my business, when unrealistic expectations kept pulling me into cycles of frustration, burnout, and not-enoughness — and what actually helped me build resilience, self-trust, and sustainable abundance over time.

This episode is an invitation to loosen your grip on how you think things should look, meet yourself with more compassion, and reconnect with abundance right where you are.

If procrastination is costing you time, money, and momentum — this episode will change how you see it forever.

In this conversation, I sit down with Robin J. Emdon, author of GetResultsology®️, to unpack the real reason we procrastinate (hint: it’s not laziness) and how procrastination quietly sabotages your business, finances, and ability to create an abundant life.

We explore the neuroscience behind procrastination, why money and avoidance are deeply linked, and how accountability and safety in your nervous system are the missing keys to follow-through, productivity, and wealth.

Money stress isn’t coming from your bank account — it’s coming from not knowing what’s actually happening with your money.

In this episode, I share a personal moment that highlights why managing your money is just as important as healing your money mindset.

We talk about how avoidance creates anxiety, why clarity alone can remove most money stress, and how learning to blueprint your finances allows you to move money confidently, strategically, and without fear.

This is a must-listen if you want money to feel grounding, empowering, and supportive of your business and life.
