This is the money episode. Bailey interviews Carrie Friedberg about getting our financial aspects in order and being financially responsible.

Carrie has undergone some very deep personal changes in connection to money. From this shift she was able to make and the stability and security she gained, Carrie decided to help professionals, families and small business owners to take control of their money and find lasting emotional and financial security.

She believes there is a clear link between our emotions and the way we relate to money. She invites their clients to look back in time, when they were kinds, and find the first memory they have connected to money. By doing this, they start deconstructing those negative patterns surrounding money.

Carrie and Bailey describe the importance of acknowledging how illiterate we are when it comes to getting our finances in order and how necessary it is to get help from a professional and be willing and open to learn new things. They believe that financial education is a solid ground to start paying attention to where the money is coming from and how we make use of it.

Carrie emphasizes on how relevant it is to hire good professionals, like advisors or mentors but, at the same time, being open to learn while asking key questions and making money control part of our daily life.

Summary of the episode

Are things changing? Melanie Joy talks about how things change when we heal the Inner Mother and start living the life we want. She describes feminine and masculine archetypes, these energies we have in our bodies and that, in most cases, keep us from thriving because we are using them incorrectly.

We can tell our stories by who we are and not by programming. Bringing that subconscious programming to a conscious level to respond from that perspective, knowing what was past history, so you can do things differently. On the other hand, working with masculine and feminine archetypes help us understand how we are shaped to start changing our narrative.

Our hero/heroine's journey is not fixed, and it varies according to each person. In a patriarchal society it seems to be organic, and then we find lots of people not knowing who they are because they get lost in that programming. Healing The Mother within us, by giving her the place she has in ourselves, knowing what she presents to help us find who we are and what we want to experience in life.

All the energies live in us, we need to get them all together consciously to become "whole" again. Cultivate the Inner Mother within us, the Mother Earth and the Great Cosmic Mother above us to heal the Inner Mother's wound to find where your passion, your work lies.

What does it mean to be emotionally available for a relationship? In some cases, wanting a relationship does not necessarily mean to be available to have one. Stereotypes tend to play an important role when it comes to face what we want in a relationship or how we want to experience it. Recognizing if we are open and available is the foundation to what comes late in our life.

It is up to us to know if we are ready to have a love relationship and not other's responsibility. Owning our feelings and emotions makes us available for new relationships, love that actually reflects what we want for us. It is necessary to find out who we are, what we want because we need to understand who we are before we commit to somebody else. Which are our boundaries? What do we want to experience?, and how do we want to feel?

Every single person that comes in our life is a soulmate. There is always something to learn, and we need to be able to decode that to find the learning or healing behind that relationship and understand that it is part of our journey. It will help us be present and enjoy the present time.

Many people believe and live their lives thinking that pleasure is not connected with their work, and it might just be linked to sexuality. However, they explore different aspects of our daily life in which pleasure should be present to make us feel happier and, as a consequence, live better lives.

What is more, Kimberly tells her personal experience with pleasure, knowing herself and being a successful businesswoman who helps others find their way, as well. She was able to make huge changes in her personal and professional life, which led her to be happy and satisfied.

They strongly advise that the first step to add pleasure to our life is identifying what gives us pleasure, even if you think that is small. Then, we should all take the time and space to deal with deep things like traumas to heal and turn our lives into positive and happy lives.

Finally, Bailey and Kimberly jump into the narrative of 'how people react to our changes and improvements'. They claim that we are not responsible for their experience of us, and we should not base our decision having that in mind.

Bailey and Jackie discuss the importance of prioritizing wellness on a daily basis. We have a choice as regards feeling well, energized and healthy. It should be everyone's priority to be healthy, exercising and eating what is good for our body.

Jackie walks us to the process we should follow to know our best hours to do exercise and to know what is best for our body. She says that every person can find at least 30 min 3 times a week to move the body. But in order to do that, we need to prioritize what is important to us and commit to that activity. This is a long term commitment, we start today, and we get benefits in the future.

She created an online fitness program to help people exercise easily taking into account each person's routine and needs. Heath and wellness should be part of our everyday life activities and not something imposed or forced.

TheLab, her online business, contains her own method to exercise your body. She created a fun method called Rhythm Lab and then, because of the pandemic situation, she moved it online.

She helps moms unlearn fake truths they have been told about diets, fitness, and health to reconnect and have a loving relationship with your body.

In this episode, Kierstin Gant talks about body positivity and the unlearning of diet culture from a mental health perspective. She dives into the transition towards health positivity and good communication with our bodies.

Her personal experience led her to become a coach and help other women overcome fear and embrace their emotions to build healthy habits in connection to food and how they transmit those healthy habits positively to their kids.

It is important to have respect and appreciation for our bodies. Plus, we need to change the way we talk to ourselves and others about our physical appearance. We should be kind, respectful and grateful for what our body allows us to accomplish. Moreover, we have to change the speech around diet culture. Each of us needs to find what 'healthy' means and build from there. We need to have a different conversation with our body, instead of negative, we need to make it positive. Our body knows exactly what to do, so we need to unlearn what we have been taught about food and trust our gut.

Getting present to our thoughts and emotions, knowing that food is not a moral issue, it is not good or bad. We must learn about emotions to model it to the kids. As parents, we need to trust our kids´ intuitive eating. We don't have to eat everything that is on a plate. We must trust them and be supportive by letting them be free and make their decisions according to their needs for food.

Megan Callus walks us through the power of breathwork and its ability to heal the body. She states that we are not fully aware of the impact breathwork can have on our mental and physical struggles. Our breath is much more powerful than we know of, and it has a great impact on our sleep, digestive functions, heart rate, blood pressure, and many other systems in our bodies.

She provides some practical tips for us to do at home, focusing on the breathing purpose of each technique. She claims that it is important to understand our body in order to practice a certain technique or choose another one. It is not the same to breath work for relaxation than to do it to boost our energy levels. Breathing techniques can be applied to many contexts, and they will depend on the goal we want to achieve.

What is more, she explains how breath impacts various physiological and neurological systems and how to use breath to become more resilient from stress, improve our sleep, increase our immune response, reduce pain, increase our energy, and help us feel more calm, vibrant and focused. Incorporating breathwork in our daily routine will help us balance our physical and mental health, as well as control our emotions.

In this episode, Bailey interviews Kate Snowise, an Industrial & Organizational Psychologist/Executive Coach. Kate addresses how burnout occurs due to prolonged exposure to stress, and how the key to recovering from burnout is unlocking the stress process. Based on a psychological model of stress and coping, Kate discusses three different types of coping – Mindset, Action & Nourishment – and how we can incorporate associated behaviors into our regular routines.

• Visit her website http://www.thrive.how
• http://www.heretothrive.com

Kate experienced burnout while moving to the States from New Zealand, being a mum of two and suffering from culture shock. From her personal experience she was able to identify what was going on with her, why she was stressed out and then, pivot to thrive. Thriving is a natural process for her, she was able to chase her passion and find her truth to be more intentional with her life, as well.

Many things might happen at the same time, even if they seem to be 'chaotic', we might find the 'aha' moment. Then, we realize that we can shift our path, choose something different and create from who we truly are. We are biologically wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain, so we have the energy, the willpower to change our life and find what we desire.

Burnout is a state we can overcome when we find our own truth, who we are and what we actually want to pursue. Intentionality is what takes us there. Which are our intentions? What do we want? Self-discovery is the starting point to find our truth, trust yourself and see the path clearly. The more we discover about ourselves, the less 'fog' we are going to find towards our vision.

Creating and deepening self-knowledge while creating a safe space for us to be faithful to what we want to achieve, get us to our goal. So every time the path seems to deviate, we can go back to our vision, intentions and readjust our actions.

Moreover, if we want to be good leaders, we need to know how to lead ourselves. Leadership starts with phenomenal self-leadership. In this way, we can be more authentic and genuine leaders. Acknowledging our strengths, our value and our natural behavior is what makes us good at what we do. We should build our Confidence through self-knowledge. Knowing who we are deep down is what makes each of us thrive.
