What if the biggest obstacle to financial success isn’t strategy or hard work—but the beliefs you hold about yourself?

In this episode, I sit down with Esmeralda Alba to explore the inner work of abundance and how simple mindset shifts can create profound changes in your financial life. She shares her personal journey from struggle to transformation, and how a powerful practice called Intensati helped her rewrite her inner dialogue and step into a new reality of possibility.

Esmeralda opens up about moving from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, showing how even small adjustments in thought patterns and daily practices can unlock growth. She also shares practical tools—from gratitude to intentional language—that helped her transform her relationship with money and opportunity.
