 Well, over the next few days I’m gonna divulge more, but I’ll start with this: 
 My long-time friend, James Wedmore, offered to be our launch coach…just for fun! His advice blew us away, and the results spoke for themselves. James just released a free tool that we used to help us rock this launch called the Digital CEO Dashboard. It’s an incredibly straightforward, easy to use, powerful dashboard that he uses to run his 8-figure digital product-based business. And it’ll help you know exactly what to focus on to get results in your business…and what you don’t need to waste your time on anymore. The dashboard is great whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in online business for years like me. Grab the one-page Digital CEO Dashboard for free now!

Ever wondered about the magic woven within the sacred feminine?  This week on Plenty, I deep dive into the essence of the sacred feminine with an amazing ordained priestess named Sarah Jenks. Sarah's story is a tapestry of wisdom and transformation, echoing the whispers of ancient times where women held pivotal roles in shaping societies. As we explore the cyclical nature of women, drawing parallels to the luteal phase and the thinning veils of sacred moments, we are invited to embark on a journey of inner growth and spiritual connection through Sarah's transformative spaces at Holy Woman. Join us in embracing the sacred feminine, exploring the power of ceremony, and connecting with a vibrant community across lifetimes. It's time to dive deep, remember our essence, and walk the path of empowerment and self-discovery together with Sarah Jenks. "It's so normal to feel nervous about it. It's so normal to feel weird to make money. It's so normal for it to feel scary to own this part of our lives, but it is here for us to own this and to transform it and to not forget how it was violently taken away from us." - Sarah Jenks Connect with Sarah Jenks:

Can your behavior with your food affect your finances? Welcome, my beautiful listeners. Today, we're taking a deep and enlightening plunge into how food meets our feelings and how finances find their flow. I chat with Sue Van Raes, a beacon of wisdom in the realms of nutrition and holistic healing. She has dedicated decades to helping women transform their relationship with food from a source of stress to a pathway to peace and empowerment. 
In our conversation, Sue unraveled the intricate ties between our nervous system and what ends up on our plate. She shared her insights on how blood sugar imbalances can sneakily disrupt our day-to-day, affecting everything from our energy levels to our cravings. But don’t worry, she didn't leave us hanging. Sue dished out her top tips for maintaining that sweet balance with a diet rich in healthy fats and proteins - true brain food! 
We also explored how our issues with food often mirror our struggles with money. Control, intuition, self-awareness - Sue illuminated how these elements play pivotal roles in both arenas, shaping our behaviors and our wellbeing. It was a heart-opening discussion on shedding the layers of societal expectations and self-judgment to uncover a space where we can nourish ourselves with love and grace. 
Sue also gave us a sneak peek into her book, a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to forge a healthier, happier relationship with food and themselves.  
If you could use a little extra love on your plate and your wallet, let’s dive into Sue’s soul touching episode.  
"And when I hear how many iterations of that have occurred through my clients and how their experience is so tainted so often by food, and I know by money, this can happen so easily as well." - Sue Van Raes Connect with Sue Van Raes: Sue Van Rae's Website
