Welcome to another episode of the Aim From the Heart Podcast where we dive deep into the stories and strategies that empower you to align your actions with your soul's true intentions.
I'm your host, Diane Bell, and today I'm thrilled to be sharing a conversation with the inspiring Isha Vela.
Isha is a trauma psychologist turned wealth activist and somatic biz coach, who has been transforming her personal financial narrative and helping others do the same. She joins us to delve into the profound understanding of money as energy, and how her encounters with polyamory in 2021 unraveled her feelings of scarcity and jealousy, revealing deeper areas of unfulfillment in her life.
Today, we'll explore how money, much like love, craves freedom. We'll hear about Isha's experiments with giving money away and how this approach has helped her to not only circulate wealth but also to support collective healing and impactful community projects.
Bringing her wealth of knowledge from her heritage and professional experience, Isha shares insights on emotional and historical complexities surrounding money, collective trauma, and the need for a shift in the paradigm of wealth. As we venture into some of the practical aspects of financial planning, Isha will make a case for financial literacy as an essential empowerment tool.
So, if you've ever felt a disconnect between your finances and your soul's journey, or you're looking for ways to reprogram your relationship with money and embrace a heart-centered approach to prosperity, this episode is for you.

I've just come home from James Wedmore's Business By Design Live Event. It was 3 packed days in Southern California with 900+ other online entrepreneurs —something I hadn't initially planned to attend, yet an experience that led me on an unexpected life-changing journey.
In this episode, I share ten compelling insights gleaned from this event. We’ll explore the notion of 'expanding your box of consciousness' and how stepping beyond its limits can unlock the ability to manifest dreams we never thought possible.
I will also be discussing the pivotal role of community in the entrepreneurial landscape—how embracing coaching and peer support can propel your business forward, and conversely, the challenges that arise when you go at it alone.
From the intensity of 'the messy middle' to the imperative of leading with love and service, each lesson bears a story, including a personal account of my interaction with James Wedmore and the undeniable connection he has with his audience.
I'll recount a mind-expanding exercise in spoon bending—a metaphor for the infinite potential we hold within us to shape our reality—revealing the courage it takes to confront our fears and how this groundwork can catalyze monumental shifts in our personal and professional lives.
And of course, we'll talk about the beauty of courage—not as the absence of fear but as the strength to act in spite of it. Imagine the possibilities if we operated with tenfold confidence and certainty!
So, sit back, relax, and let's navigate the non-linear journey of success together, exploring the essence of creating from the heart with intention. And don't forget, exciting things are on the horizon with upcoming programs that promise a year-long transformative journey at dianebell.com/limitless.

Welcome back to the “Aim From the Heart Podcast,” where we explore the power of intentional living and reconnecting with our deepest roots. I’m your host, Diane Bell, and in today’s episode, we're joined by the enchanting herbalist Tonja Reichley.
Tonja is someone who has woven her own tapestry of knowledge from the traditions of Ireland, drawing wisdom from the bountiful teachings of nature. We unravel a conversation that flows from the vibrant customs of Native American and Irish cultures, to the very personal journeys of reclaiming our ancestral ties, especially our Celtic lineages.
Both of us share the profound impact of venturing back into the traditions of our forebears, discovering how Tonja's transformative journey led her from the foothills of Western Europe to the heart of Ireland’s herbal landscapes. We also address the topic of the historical persecution of women as witches and healers in Scotland and Ireland and how embracing those stories is crucial in the healing and reclaiming of our collective power.
Tonja will also illuminate us on the work she does through her Ancestral Herbal Apprenticeship and the Way of the Wild Witch Wheel of the Year program, assisting others in nurturing a spiritual kinship with the natural world.
Get ready to delve into a world where the simple nettle becomes a symbol of nourishment and spiritual connection, where reclaiming the title of witch is an act of fierce identity, and where belonging truly begins within ourselves, no matter where we are planted. So brew some herbal tea, settle into your space, and let’s journey together into the wild heart of our history and healing.
Let's begin...
