How do you define wealth? What does being wealthy mean to you? In this episode of "She Has The Audacity," host Chana Ross interviews wealth coach Hadriana Leo, who specializes in helping women transform their personal finance knowledge into actionable wealth-building strategies.

Hadriana shares her journey as a wealth coach and financial counselor, emphasizing the importance of women being confidently and unapologetically wealthy. She discusses how societal beliefs about money, often passed down through generations, can hinder women's financial confidence and decision-making. Hadriana encourages women to challenge these beliefs and recognize that they have the power to control their financial destinies.

The conversation dives into the concept of boundaries, both in personal finance and in life. Hadriana uses the analogy of animals in a pen to illustrate how boundaries can create a sense of freedom rather than limitation. By setting clear financial boundaries, women can allocate resources intentionally, allowing them to support their own needs while also helping others.

Hadriana emphasizes that wealth is not just about financial gain but encompasses overall wellness and wholeness. She defines wealth as access to resources that lead to opportunities and purpose, highlighting that anyone, regardless of their current financial situation, can embark on a journey toward wealth.

Throughout the episode, Chana and Hadriana discuss the importance of borrowing confidence and positive beliefs from others until women can embody those traits themselves. They stress that wealth-building is a journey that requires time, intentionality, and a shift in mindset.

Hadriana's book, "Becoming a Wealthy Woman on Purpose," is introduced as a resource for women looking to align their financial strategies with their values and goals. The episode concludes with a call to action for women to take control of their financial narratives and embrace their potential for wealth.

Here are some of the highlights of Chana's chat with Hadriana:

• The importance of defining your boundaries and understanding your relationship with money.

• How to build financial confidence and the role of purpose in wealth creation.

• The generational beliefs around money that hold many women back and how to challenge them.

• Defining who you want to be, how you want to use your money, and who you want to become.

• The concept of wealth consciousness versus mere cash flow, and how to leverage your resources for a fulfilling life.

So many of the entrepreneurs and leaders think that the grinding, the action and the strategy they employ are the keys to success. Then, they suddenly get to a place where they have done all the "right" things, checked all the boxes and they are still not living a life that is fulfilling, meaningful and as successful as they had envisioned.

Are you pushing yourself to keep up with a 24-hour, male-centered work structure—and burning out because of it?

What if your most productive weeks weren't measured by hours, but by syncing your work with your natural rhythms?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aumatma, a fertility expert and naturopathic doctor, to dive into a completely different way to approach productivity and success as a woman.

Dr. Aumatma runs three businesses in under 30 hours a week, not by grinding harder, but by tuning into her body's natural 28-day cycle.

Together, we dig into why women's bodies aren't designed for the constant pressure of a 24-hour cycle, and how embracing your feminine energy can lead to more productivity and better health.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Why syncing your business with your cycle can transform the way you work

• How Dr. Aumatma aligns her business tasks with different phases of her menstrual cycle, using high-energy weeks to tackle her hardest tasks and low-energy weeks for rest and intuition

• How to reclaim your feminine energy in a male-dominated world

• How to align your cycle with your business goals by mapping out your work around your menstrual phases, from scheduling high-stakes meetings during your ovulation phase to reserving your menstruation week for reflection and internal work

• How neglecting your feminine energy is harming your health: If you're constantly running on masculine energy, you're not just feeling exhausted—you're impacting your hormones, fertility, and long-term well-being

Stop burning out by pushing against your body's natural flow. It's time to reclaim your energy, honor your cycle, and build a business and life that aligns with your true power.
