Part 3 of a 4-Part Series on Money, Power, and Capacity

You know how to work hard. You know how to give. And yet, no matter how much effort you put in, you may still feel stuck at the same income level, overworking, under-earning, or feeling uncomfortable when things come easily.

In this episode, I explore why earning isn’t the real issue for so many mission-driven women and why receiving is often the real block. We look at how history, culture, and the nervous system shape our capacity to receive support, money, rest, and recognition without guilt or self-betrayal.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why over-giving and income plateaus are often signs of blocked receiving
• How collective and ancestral trauma shape your ability to receive with ease
• Why your capacity to receive sets the ceiling for your income and impact

If you’re generous, service-oriented, and deeply committed to making a difference, but secretly exhausted or stuck, this episode will help you understand why.

If you’ve been listening to this series and feel the pull to go deeper, Resourced Wealth is the space where we work with this material in a more supported, intentional way.

Resourced Wealth is a trauma-informed, nervous-system-rooted program for women of color entrepreneurs and leaders who want to heal their relationship with money and power, expand their capacity to receive, and grow their income and impact without burnout, overworking, or self-abandonment, so they can steward real wealth and have a larger impact in the world.

Inside the program, we focus on safety, capacity, and embodied power first, so that growth becomes sustainable and aligned rather than forced or extractive.

Episode 41 (Part 2 of a 4-Part Series on Money, Power, and Capacity)

Money has never just been about money. It’s always been about power, safety, and choice. And for many women, that’s exactly why it feels so complicated.

In this episode, I explore why wanting more money can bring up fear, guilt, and self-doubt, even when you’re capable, driven, and deeply mission-led. We look at how history, legacy, and the nervous system shape our relationship with money, and why this isn’t a mindset or strategy problem, it’s a safety one.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why money is deeply tied to power, visibility, and safety for women
• How history and legacy still shape your relationship with money today
• What it really takes to feel safe holding more income, impact, and influence
  
  

This conversation is for women who want to grow their income and impact without burning out, playing small, or betraying themselves in the process.

In this first episode of a four-part series on money, power and capacity, I open a conversation about money that goes far deeper than budgets, strategies, or mindset hacks.

This episode is about the invisible relationship many women have with money and why it often feels heavy, charged, or stressful even when you are capable, skilled, and successful.

Inside this episode, I explore:

• Why money struggles are often not about effort or intelligence
• How legacy and ancestral wounds shape our nervous system responses to money
• Why “just thinking differently” about money often doesn’t work
• How safety, power, and survival are tied to money in the body
• The hidden ways overworking, undercharging, guilt, and fear of visibility show up

This episode is an invitation to see your relationship with money through a more compassionate and truthful lens.

We are not starting with strategy. We are starting with safety, capacity, and healing.

In this episode, I break down the science of manifestation without the fluff or magical thinking. Manifestation is one of those concepts that people either cling to or completely dismiss, often because we’re missing the part in the middle.

I walk you through what manifestation actually is, why you’re already doing it whether you realize it or not, and how your brain, nervous system, and energy work together to shape what you create. This episode is about using intention and aligned action so the work you’re already doing becomes more focused, effective, and sustainable.

We cover:

• The actual science behind manifestation and why it’s not magical thinking
• How your attention, intentions, and actions shape what you create
• The role of the reticular activating system in filtering your reality
• How thoughts, emotions, and behaviors work together to produce outcomes
• Why aligned action, discomfort, and identity are essential for growth

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or creator who is driven, thoughtful, and tired of pushing without seeing the results you want, this episode is for you.

I’ll leave you with the question I end the episode with:
Who do you need to become to make this goal a reality?

In this episode, I walk you through a simple, powerful year-end review process that actually works and supports your growth. Most people use the end of the year to beat themselves up and focus on all the things they didn’t accomplish. I show you how to reflect in a way that feels grounded, compassionate, and aligned with who you are becoming.

We cover:

• Why year-end reviews matter for conscious leaders and entrepreneurs
• The neuroscience behind year-end reviews and how to boost your motivation and clarity
• A 3-part process that helps you reflect without judgment
• How to understand what did not work without spiraling into shame
• How to choose what you will do differently in the year ahead

If you want to close your year with intention and clarity, so that you can step into the next year with purpose - this episode is for you.

Every year around my birthday, I pause to reflect. Not to judge. But to listen to what life has actually taught me.

In this episode, I share the 10 lessons that shaped me most this year. Lessons drawn from leadership, motherhood, entrepreneurship, nervous system work, intuition, and reconnecting with my ancestry.

Inside, I explore:

• Why purpose doesn’t need to be big, public, or impressive
• How repeated life patterns are invitations, not punishments
• What nervous system regulation has taught me about leadership and expansion
• Why receiving is just as important as giving
• How to walk toward growth even when fear is loud

These are not abstract ideas or feel-good quotes.
They are lived truths that changed how I lead, how I serve, and how I live.

My hope is that one or two of these lessons land exactly where you need them.
And that they support you in creating a more grounded, aligned, and fulfilling year ahead.

Let’s dive in.

• What seasonal wisdom can teach us about leadership, nervous system regulation, and sustainable power

 • What actually happens in the brain when we fail
 • How this fear holds leaders and entrepreneurs back

 • How we became disconnected from our inner knowing
