Sandy Forster is the money mindset mentor for women worldwide who are ready to experience more abundance and freedom in their life. Sandy went from welfare to millionaire, been featured in Oprah’s Aussie Secret, and loves inspiring and empowering women to break through their blocks, manifest more money, and create a life they’re truly passionate about.

Sandy went from having over $100,000 in debt to creating an income of $150,000 the next year. And now she is a multi-millionaire and she didn’t graduate high school. Our relationship with ourselves is the key to wealth and abundance.  However, this isn’t the path most of us follow. We think we have to work like crazy just to get ahead. But it actually starts with going within ourselves and changing our internal blueprint to become co-creators of our lives. It starts with taking on the identity, experiences, and opportunities right now that will bring you more of what you want to accomplish and achieve. It started with the inside of ourselves first. Sandy walks us through what it truly means to become an active participant in designing a life of great success and fulfillment. 

“You can’t just think and visualize your goals. You have to embody and take action.”  Sandy Forster

Wow! My interview with my 1992 high school classmate, Angie Carlson, was heartwarming, inspiring, and thought-provoking. Shortly after giving birth to her son, Angie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) 30 years ago. This disease has left her using a walker, sometimes a wheelchair, and the smallest of tasks takes a monumental effort.  

It’s easy to look at Angie’s everyday life and the obstacles she deals with, but she chooses to see her life differently. While she doesn’t deny the extreme fatigue, her limitations, or the hardness of it all, she maintains that she is happy in her life because she CHOOSES to be. She describes her highs, lows, and personal triumphs. 

• Why we must ask ourselves, “How do we want to feel?”

“I feel like there is no other choice. That's the only choice I choose because I don’t want to be unhappy.” Angie Carlson

About Angie:

After graduating high school, Angie Carlson earned an AAS degree in Medical Office Assistant and then joined the military. She spent 11 years in the Air Force, where she met her husband. In 2004, they had a son, and two months later, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She lives in Maine with her husband, son, and faithful furry friend, Rascal. 

In this interview, I talk with Dr. Melissa Hankins, a 17-year Harvard-trained psychiatrist and certified executive coach. We had a very open conversation about what trauma is, how it affects our lives, and what we can do to heal ourselves. 

We have all experienced some form of trauma, and many times that trauma plays out in our adult lives. It might affect how we react to our spouse, how we parent our children, and how we navigate our work lives. As Dr. Hankins explained, trauma can affect us in big ways, such as anger, violence, or yelling, but also in not so obvious ways, such as perfectionism, workaholism, and lack of boundaries. Many times it’s the root of our very deep wounds, but we can work to heal ourselves and become better for ourselves. 

• What is trauma, and how does it affect our lives?

“Even though we are not responsible for the traumas that happened to us as children, as adults, we are responsible for healing them.” Dr. Melissa Hankins

About Dr. Melissa Hankins

Dr. Melissa Hankins is the founder and CEO of Melissa Hankins Coaching. She is a Mindset and Success Coach for physicians and other high-performers who may “look great on the outside” but are struggling on the inside. Her clients typically struggle with burnout, perfectionism, workaholism, “trying to do all the things” and feeling completely overwhelmed in the process while doing their best not to show it. 

When we are uncomfortable setting boundaries, it's easy to fall into patterns like people-pleasing to make sure everyone else is happy.  However, this becomes the breeding ground for resentment and anger in our lives.

Many of us suffer from our people-pleasing ways. We do it for several reasons: To be accepted and belong, to receive love, and to find validations. We worry that people may not like us, creating a life of self-abandon and resentment.

In this episode, Kim speaks to Krista Resnick about creating boundaries to protect our space and our relationships. It’s great to make other people happy, but it’s more important to please ourselves first by making self-honoring choices.

Here are the things to expect in the episode:

• Are you for yourself, or are you against yourself?

• How do you know when to set a boundary?

“Too many times we self-abandon  for the sake of pleasing others?”  Krista Resnick

Gay Hendricks wrote this amazing book called “The Big Leap”. In it, he explains that as humans we all have what he calls an “Upper Limit Problem.”

Basically, we have an internal thermostat in our body that says, “I have limited tolerance, for feeling good in my life, I have limited tolerance for how much happiness, I am willing to let myself feel how much love, I'm willing to let myself feel how much success, I'm willing to let myself feel.”  Because of our Upper Limit Problem,  when things are going good for us, we will self sabotage our ability to all the goodness we want to feel in our life. 

He explained that have limited tolerance for allowing our life to go well, for a period of time. And when we hit that internal thermostat of being able to feel good or feel success, we do something that stops our positive forward trajectory.  The good news….we can change our internal thermostats and reset them to higher levels of success. 

• What is the Upper Limited Problem and how does it show up in our lives?

“Our internal thermostat setting determines how much love success, creativity, happiness, well-being we allow in our life.”  Kim Strobel

Kim reflects on a lesson she took to heart this past year, and she reflected on year 48 of her life and what is taught her, how she grew, and the work she’s done on herself.  She worked on Radical Acceptance, which means that she is working on releasing bitterness and resentment over things she couldn’t and can’t control. 

It wasn’t easy work, but once she quit resisting the way certain things or people were in her life, she experienced a whole new level of peace and freedom. And because she did this work on herself this last year, she has experienced new levels of abundance, happiness, peace, and wellbeing.

• What is radical acceptance and why does it work?

“I've discovered is that I'm a lot happier and more at peace when I accept people or circumstances or situations as they are rather than wishing it was different.”  Kim Strobel

A mindset is simply a set of thoughts and beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave.  Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck says, “Your beliefs play a pivotal role in what you want and whether you can achieve it. It has a significant role in determining your achievement and success.

In this episode, Kim dives into why change is hard and goals keep getting left in the dust. Most of us approach change and goals backwards. We use our logical, conscious mind and think if we can yield enough willpower, we can make it happen. But Kim shares why this doesn’t work and the formula she has used to create massive success in her life. She will talk you through Robert Dilts’s “Hierarchy of Change” and show you how to reverse engineer the formula for how you go about achieving your goals and creating more success in life. 

• How our mindsets drive our actions and behaviors.

“Our beliefs about ourselves greatly influence our life.”  Kim Strobel

From an early age, we are taught to color inside the lines, and any color that strays outside the lines is considered a mistake to be avoided. We are supposed to do everything right, which carries over into adulthood.  Perfectionism is a naturally limiting mindset. Imperfection, however, frees us to live outside the lines, where possibilities are infinite, mistakes are allowed, and self-judgment is minimal.

It’s not easy to let go of our need for perfection or the old tapes that play in our head that remind us we are supposed to act, do, and perform in a certain way.  In this episode, Kim shares her struggle when things appear to go astray and how she is working to transform how she handles challenges in her own life. When we learn to let go of our “expectations” of ourselves, we begin to see that we have the ability to feel better about just being human beings. We can learn to take back our power and plant the seeds of transformation and inner freedom. 

• What perfectionism looks like and how it shows up in our life.

“We must learn to process our heavy feelings rather than avoid them.” Kim Strobel

Rosanna Berardi is the Managing Partner of Berardi Immigration Law and the CEO of High WireWoman, where she helps working women create a blueprint to living their lives in a simpler way and take back their most precious commodity: their time.

After saying goodbye to a lucrative corporate gig—and a promising career as an immigration lawyer for the U.S. government—she built a successful, multi-million dollar corporate immigration law firm on her own terms while helping transform people’s lives as they pursue their version of the American Dream.

In this episode, she shares that while these are difficult times and we can’t quit our jobs, we can create simple life hacks that make our lives feel so much better.  We can tap into the world of convenience and start outsourcing our “motherly, wifey, worker bee” job to free up space for time, pleasure, and ourselves. 

• How women can make their lives easier

“I outsource 90% of the things in my life, so I have time to enjoy the things I love.” Rosanna Berardi
