Alexa Brascetta is a CFP® with more than 22 years of experience in the financial services world. As the founder of Aligned Wealth Strategies, she is on a mission to help people align their core values with their money goals and bring the values of partnership, honesty, education, fun, and empathy into her work. A graduate of Texas Woman’s University with a degree in finance, Alexa has obtained her CLU® (Chartered Life Underwriter designation) and her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation.

Alexa is a Colorado native, married to a first responder and is raising two daughters. She is a lifelong learner and an avid reader, and despite living in Colorado, the beach is her happy place. 

Grief, financial anxiety, and perfectionism don’t just happen in the background—they are the quiet engine driving our lives—unless we wake up. In this episode, I talk with Alexa Brascetta, CFP® and founder of Aligned Wealth Strategies, about how loss shaped her path, what it means to listen to the quiet tug of intuition, and why success without alignment still feels empty. We dive into post-traumatic growth, the shame cycle, and the pressure on breadwinning moms to hold it all together, even when it’s breaking them inside. 

This is a raw, honest look at how grief can shake you awake, how financial planning becomes powerful when it’s values-based, and how letting go of perfectionism creates the kind of clarity and peace we’re really after.

Why ‘Morality Divides’ Keeps You Stuck: Healing Hate & Finding Conscience. Our judgments—especially the righteous ones—keep us divided, drained, and disconnected from peace. I share the story of a podcast pitch that stopped me in my tracks, not because the writing wasn’t brilliant (it was), but because its final line revealed just how easily certainty turns into separation.

This isn’t about politics or taking sides. It’s about something deeper: how hate—no matter how justified we think it is—remains hate. And when we fight hate with more hate, we become the very thing we despise. In this episode, I explore the difference between morality (which divides) and conscience (which unites), why our nervous systems push us toward judgment, and how leaders like Michael Singer and Gabor Maté model another way.

At its core, this episode is about the choice each of us has: to keep fueling division, or to practice the harder, humbler path of presence, compassion, and conscience—even in the face of pain and injustice.

The reason you’re exhausted may be hidden emotional energy drains. These sneaky mental vampires too—micro decision fatigue, emotional labor burnout, and perfectionism—are why you’re burnt out, even on easy days. The apps running in the background of your mind are bleeding you of focus, clarity, and drive. In this episode, I’ll show you how to spot these invisible drains, stop overthinking, and reclaim your life force so you can put your energy where it actually matters.

I also created a little quiz for you to determine where you may be leaking energy, and some mindset shifts to help refuel your tank.

Nick is a plant medicine enthusiast, psychic animal communicator, & intuition coach. He had his first psychic and psychedelic experiences in his early 20s. It took nearly 25 years for those kinds of experiences to resurface again. In fact, much of his adult life was what most people would consider “normal”. That changed when Nick started exploring consciousness with plant medicine & a spiritual teacher. A connection opened that continued to grow and evolve. He went to a psychic medium who told him he would communicate with animals, and it would be easy. After a few false starts, she was right. 

Animal communication, intuition, and emotional mirroring—this conversation with Nick goes deep. We explore how animals reflect our inner world, how plant medicine helped awaken his psychic abilities, and why intention is everything when it comes to connection. We also dive into the impact of technology and AI on human intuition and the importance of reconnecting with ourselves in a noisy world. If you're curious about what your pet might be trying to tell you—or how to trust your own inner voice again—you’ll want to hear this.

If you're on a self-improvement journey but still battling burnout, self-doubt, or a restless mindset, this episode is for you. We’re talking growth mindset, inner peace, and nervous system regulation—not as strategies to master, but as invitations to stop performing and start listening.

You’ll hear why high performance often comes at the cost of presence, how our desire to fix ourselves actually delays healing, and how to tell when your soul is leading vs. your fear. I’ll also walk you through three powerful shifts to break the cycle of overachieving and drop into soul-led leadership.
