On this episode, Ariel is joined by Kane Baron, one of Ariel’s podcasting mentors, who teaches us about the many ways you can use podcasting to connect with people and grow your business. It’s also a great tool for learning how to express yourself and just reaching the world with your own amazing message.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• This wasn’t the plan, from a kid I planned to go into law, I did all my exams and got a law degree. But, during university I was always trying to find ways of making more money and I got into marketing for shops and cafes on social media to try and get them more business. I was an avid podcast listener though because they helped my revise. I worked in a coffee shop for the years I was at uni and every morning a guy called Rob Moore would come in, he had a range of nice cars, so I started giving him extra customer service and asked him about his businesses and his creative outlets like his podcast interviewing well known people. By the end of my second year I decided law wasn’t for me. I DM’d Rob on Instagram to ask how we could work together and he took me up on it.
• We’re not focussed on FTSE500 companies, a lot of other podcast agencies are very specific about the content and the people they work with and it’s almost impossible to get picked up by these agencies – mostly, it’s gatekept for celebrities. Our agency is for independent creators. The more niche and weird and wonderful your content is the more we want to work with you.
• There are millions and millions of people creating content every day across social media, it’s very saturated and is very hard to stand out. The last few years the length of content has got shorter and shorter and is more about how it’s edited and what tags and captions are used to hook you in for those few seconds, they’re less bothered about giving value. That’s great if all you care about is views, that’s just vanity. If you care about impacting people, having important discussions, getting more business/leads for your company then you content marketing needs to focus on providing way more value for people.
• If you’ve got 100 people listening to you speak for 60 minutes every single week for a year, most people don’t talk to their friends and family as much as they’ve listened to you over that year. If I’ve got a product that’s worth a few grand or you’re in a lucrative niche you don’t need a million listeners, 100 is more than enough.

BEST MOMENTS

“Shoot your shot. If you don’t ask you don’t get.”
“It makes our days more interesting to work with a breadth of people, not people who have already got millions of followers or a PR company funding their campaign.”
“A lot of the time, independent creators have got much better stories or more experience and that’s much more valuable.”
“It’s our job to get you out there so people know who you are so that they’ll care about your message.”

In this episode Ariel is joined by transformation coach Vipoola Devani to talk about her story and the power of self-awareness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I had lived my life to a certain point dictated by societal norms, family expectations, cultural norms. By lineage I’m Indian, so I had a lot of traditional cultural upbringing and I followed the path because that was what was expected of me and I didn’t know any better. I thought that was normal, I got married, I did what was expected of me as a daughter-in-law, a wife, a daughter but something never felt right, I never fitted in, I felt there was something more than this. 
• After about 25 years of marriage, I started getting that pull even stronger and I started searching and stumbled upon various spiritual modalities and business ventures. Finally, I went to an event that was the ‘A-he moment’ for me. It boiled down to the fact that I was responsible for my life, I had created it, and that everything outside that I was experiencing was a result of my own internal mindset and my own environment that I had created. It was a tough reckoning because it’s easier to blame everything else than blame yourself.
• Self-awareness is: What is it that I want, or what is it that would make my relationships better outside, but once I’m happier within myself, once I have the joy within myself, and a purpose within myself, it starts translating in my environment around me and my connections with everything else.
• The greatest shifts I’ve seen from my clients is the awareness of something bigger than themselves, the experience of being part of something that is more than just “me”, as a human, and that everything around me is here to give me another experience. Not all experiences are pleasant or something we’d naturally want or gravitate towards, some experiences are horrendous. But it is an experience, and you regard it as such so you can leave it behind and move on to the next one. We are blessed to be humans and the gift of life is not to be shunned.

BEST MOMENTS
“I value honesty and integrity highly, not just from work and career, it also translates into personal life.”
“It fundamentally started with getting to know yourself and then deciding what works for you. The resolution I chose is not the answer for everybody.”
“The client has to put the work in. I’m facilitating their development, I’m not doing it for them, I’m just showing the way.”
“Being accountable to yourself is also part of loving yourself and your commitment to yourself.”

Generational wealth refers to financial assets that are passed down through families to children, grandchildren and beyond. 

Assets passed from one generation to the next might include cash, investments, property and more.

Federal Reserve research shows wealth concentration, racial disparities and other systemic issues play a part in building generational wealth.

Working toward building generational wealth starts with things like financial literacy, budgeting and goals.

Tips for talking money with your ageing parent

By Shelly Gigante

Shelly Gigante specialises in personal finance issues. Her work has appeared in a variety of publications and news websites.

Posted on Feb 18, 2022

From https://blog.massmutual.com/post/money-aging-parent?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SEM_Google_Search_Brand_Generational-Wealth_Generic&utm_term=generational%20wealth%20definition&utm_content=General+Generational+Wealth&device_type=c&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw04yjBhApEiwAJcvNoYNB6VDU7BjM78IwPvkLjht3akZ8whbWNfgVeDa7WPnjuCDfx0fK5hoC8b8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds 

"A 2018 Federal Reserve analysis of the Survey of Consumer Finances estimated that 2 million households receive a generational inheritance or substantial gift each year. 

But the way those generational transfers are distributed is notable. According to the Fed, most inheritances are for less than $50,000. And only about 2% of the inheritances were for $1 million or more. 

But comparing how much actual money was involved in those transactions—not just the number of transactions—told a different story. 

Despite being just 2% of the total count, those million-dollar-plus transfers accounted for 40% of the total dollars that changed hands. And the figures around gifts among living people showed even wider disparities.

From Capital One's article on generational wealth, January 5th, 2023

The Fed’s analysis showed gift and inheritance recipients were “much more likely to be college-educated, high-income, and high-wealth.” Data also showed recipients were 88% white. 

That number is part of why additional Fed research found “the typical White family has eight times the wealth of the typical Black family and five times the wealth of the typical Hispanic family.”

Along with intergenerational transfers, the research also cited “homeownership opportunities, access to tax-sheltered savings plans, and individuals’ savings and investment decisions” as major factors that contribute to wealth accumulation and financial security."

From https://www.capitalone.com/learn-grow/money-management/what-is-generational-wealth/ 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Millennials are the first generation that is less financially successful than its predecessors in the US. They’ve faced the financial crisis of 2008, reduced work opportunities out of college, high college debts, and incredible increase in prices in the real estate market, and they’re experiencing the spike in inflation just like we all are. A lot of opportunities for them to make investments to increase their wealth have either decreased or gone away entirely. How are they going to succeed moving forward? Who’s coming after you?
• Generational wealth refers to financial assets that are passed down through families to children, grandchildren and beyond. Usually generational wealth is passed down through white families (88% of the people doing this are white men). I would love women and people of colour to start thinking about sending generational wealth down to the people coming after you, especially if it’s not the norm for you or you’ve never even heard of it. Traditionally women haven’t been in control of that stuff, but you need to start thinking about it.
• If you’re going to become an executor on your parents’ will there are some things you might need to line up, get information on and organise before they pass so that you’re ready to execute their will when they do pass.
• Improving your financial literacy is definitely the first step, you need to understand budgeting, credit, savings and clearing debt. Create a budget. Once you’ve devised a budget that works for you, develop financial goals (personal and for generational wealth). When you’ve built your own wealth you can start to plan for leaving generational wealth by going back to your budget and putting more money aside for the people coming after you. This will take time.

BEST MOMENTS
‘For a lot of people, generational wealth means money. But they can also include investments like stock and bonds, property, art, intellectual property, or a stake in the family business.’
‘If you want to pass on wealth to someone else you have to create it for yourself in this time that you have.’
‘If you don’t have things now, what could you create or manifest in your life so that when you do leave the Earth you do have things to pass on?’
‘No financial plan is permanent, make changes when you need to.’

In this episode, Ariel talks about the energy of eclipses and the cycle that we are in now. Need an energy report? Stay tuned!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In the past few weeks we’ve had a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse on 20th April and 5th May respectively. The lunar eclipse was also conjunct Uranus, which is the planet of surprise, shock and breakthroughs or changes. The energy both of these eclipses will carry forward for anything from a month to six months, depending on the astrologer.
• If you’ve been feeling stuck in an area of your life but are unwilling or unable to do anything about it, eclipses can move mountains to end that toxic relationship, get that paperwork approved, or get that situation resolved. Are you in a career that’s not working for you and you’ve done nothing about it and suddenly that job opportunity ends? That’s eclipse energy. It may seem bad at the time, but these experiences can often lead to breakthrough, so keep that in mind.
• The energy of eclipses will also affect whatever is going on in your current chart. They’ll bring things out that were secret, hidden or you were unaware of. The energy of eclipses can show up one month before the eclipse for about 10% of people, at the time of the eclipse, or up to six months after the eclipse. If you have gaps in your education, fill them. If you have a weakness in your character, it could be exposed. If you need to grow, you will be given opportunities to grow and they may not always be pleasant.
• We need the push forward that eclipses give us to address karma and that energy gives us opportunities to clear it. Be kind and compassionate toward others, because they’re going through the same things you are, be grateful for the reveal and make positive changes.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The nature of eclipses is to keep you on your toes and show you how important it is to accept truth when it is presented to you.’
‘Eclipses are on a mission to produce results and move you forward. The entire universe always moves towards strength.’
‘If you have an eclipse in a particular sign it’s going to intensify whatever that sign is.’
‘Revealing what is hidden gives you, what I call, spiritual mileage.’

In this episode, Ariel talks about Junk Fees, which are ways that companies take money right out of your pocket – and at a time of high inflation, you definitely need to know this information.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Companies are charging lots of extra fees because they’re trying to milk you for money. A lot is going on politically with this and actions have been taken by the Biden/Harris Administration as part of the Fourth Meeting of the President’s Competition Council which announced two different actions they would take: working with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to slash excessive credit card late fees from $30 to $8, saving consumers as much as $9 billion, which is crazy. Then, the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration is releasing a report assessing areas of competition in mobile app stores because they have extra fees hidden in them.
• The Junk Fee Prevention Act is out there to provide consumers with the transparency that they deserve before making a purchase. It hasn’t passed in Congress, but the fact that they’re talking about this is huge.
• Before you purchase concert tickets, for example, make sure that the concert ticket provider is not a third-party provider. A lot of times it’s really hard to tell. Their administration fees are often a lot of money. You have a choice: You don’t have to buy those tickets if you don’t want to, or you could buy them through a different service.
• If you are buying real estate and you see terms like ‘regulatory compliance cost’, ‘transaction fee’, ‘broker fee’, or ‘technology fee’ you need to know about them. Real estate brokerages usually charge real estate agents a desk fee in order to be able to use their back end, legal support, their office, and bunch of things they use to work out of that office, or they have to give up a certain amount of commission (especially if they’re new to that business). Sometimes the real estate brokerages will add this fee onto a transaction meaning the client pays that instead of the agent.

BEST MOMENTS

‘My own rent has gone up over $600 in two years. A $7,200 increase in two years, that’s unbelievable!’
‘Airline travel, concert going, common purchases, seemingly almost everywhere, consumers are compelled to pay excessive charges.’
‘I don’t know what your grocery bills are doing, but mine went from $600 a month to $1,000 a month in less than two years, and my teenager is only here part of the time.’
‘Real estate junk fees are called a lot of things, but it should really be called a BS fee!’

Cell phone security:

How to protect yourself from iPhone thieves locking you out of your own device. By Samantha Murphy Kelly, CNN Business. https://apple.news/Ayc-c_M-QTbSLhiZrPGY6fw

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For some of us this isn’t a big deal, but for many, many people a cell phone isn’t just a lifeline to get help in emergencies but they also run their banking, business, and lives  and social lives from it. Kids even do homework and hand in their school assignments from it, you can apply for jobs, connect to loved ones or look for real estate on your phone. 
• Did you know your cell phone is dirtier than a toilet seat? A study recently found there’s an average of around 17,000 gene copies on a single phone. Some places of work – like kitchens – have a ban on having cell phones because they’re so contaminated with bacteria, pathogens, and viruses. It’s a health risk.
• Think about setting up the face ID setting on your phone rather than a passcode because if you’re in a crowded place somebody could look over your shoulder, see your passcode, later on steal your phone, use your passcode, and then get in there and drain your bank account. If you think someone has seen your passcode you need to change it immediately.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Don’t touch your cell phone with unwashed hands and keep it away from your food.’
‘To get into your phone, you should have a relatively complex passcode.’
‘On iPhones you might want to set up a secondary password to prevent people from changing your apple ID which could change your recovery key.’

On this episode Ariel is joined by Jo Ann Brookes who transformed from a teacher in school to a woman who helps people transform the way they look wit the power of lipstick.

Mary Kary Charitable Foundation: www.loveisrespect.org  

Text to get support if you are experiencing domestic violence and get out of an abusive situation. Mary Kay supports domestic violence shelters all over the U.S and 3,000 DV prevention programs, as well as cancer research--given over $26 million.

You can look up make-up and see how clean it is. “Natural” is not necessarily clean. https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I have sensitive skin and discovering the Mary Kay Timewise skin care line that didn’t irritate my skin, makeup that didn’t make me want to cry. I wore makeup as a teacher to look professional, but all the time I wanted to get it off my face and did so as soon as I got home. I was a single mom and not earning a lot of money and I initially signed up for the discount, I wasn’t thinking about selling it.
• A simple lipstick can brighten up your face, light up your eyes when you look in the mirror or at other people, it gets those endorphins going when they compliment you. That’s all free and it makes you feel good, and who doesn’t want to feel good?
• We’re a relationship business. That means one-on-one across the kitchen table with your customer. We couldn’t do that during Covid. One of the funny things I would do – because people still needed their stuff – was I would meet them at their house in my Volvo Station Wagon, we’d have our masks on and we’d do a deal. I’d also do porch drops where I’d add extra candy and little love notes.
• A lot of cosmetics companies have to shut down during Covid because they were considered non-essential. Mary Kay shut dedicated a third of its production plant in Dallas to produce hand sanitiser and anti-bacterial soap that was donated to hospitals and care centres all around the US, so we were allowed to stay open, there was never a time I couldn’t order directly for my customers.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Lipstick is a little thing, but even when times are tight, there are certain products that tend not to go down in sales. People look for ways to make themselves feel better.’
‘I want to help you really like what you see when you look in the mirror.’
‘With Zoom we could get together with people all across the countries and have parties. That tota;;y warmed my heart.’
‘You could be 13 or 130 and you’ll find products that you’ll love.’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Jo Ann Brookes was born and raised in Seattle, has been married to her husband Chris for 41 years, and has two beautiful kids in their 20s. Before starting her Mary Kay business she was an elementary school teacher in Seattle and owned her own pottery business. She loves hiking & backpacking, skiing, gardening, and foraging for wild edible stuff, particularly culinary mushrooms! She’s not your stereotypical Mary Kay lady!

In today’s episode Ariel talks about the power of intuition and using pendulums. Have you ever had a question and needed an answer? Today we talk about developing your intuition and getting those burning questions answered, everything from nutrition to yes/no decision making.

Learn more about Tarot in Woman Power Zone episode #33.

So you do need to set some boundaries and clear yourself before working with a pendulum. These affirmations are helpful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you know how to ask simple yes/no questions you clear your energy and you can make a simple pendulum to learn how to do that. A pendulum is an object that hangs on a string or a chain – like an unclasped necklace. You can put your elbow on a table with the pendulum held still between your index finger and thumb. When you ask your question the energy of that question will pull energy from the universe that will flow through you, up through your arm and out through your hand to make the pendulum move. Relax, don’t try too hard and allow the energy to flow through you. 
• One of the most important things about working with pendulums is you need to ask the right questions: yes/no questions. You’d be surprised how difficult it is to formulate questions in this format, you have to really think about it. A yes for me is when the pendulum swings in a circle, a no is when it travels back and forth in a straight line, if it travels diagonally it means you haven’t asked the right question.
• Before you write this off as hogs wash or woo woo silliness, know that when a person’s energy is centred, grounded and clear, the pendulum’s energetically energetically cleared ahead of time, and the person asks specific yes/no questions without being attached to the outcome, you can access a tremendous amount of information.
• You need to set boundaries and clear yourself before working with a pendulum. Use affirmations like “I choose to receive information only from beings who are in alignment to source energy and provide it for the highest good” or “I choose to receive only accurate information to achieve the goal of acting in alignment with the highest good for all” to set that intention.

BEST MOMENTS
“If you’re experiencing pain that’s what the nervous system is for; it’s meant to send messages and pain in a manifestation that something isn’t working correctly, something’s structurally off, or something is not right in the body.”
“The more you eat foods that are in alignment with what your body can process at that time, the healthier you’re going to be.”
“You could use the pendulum while you’re online dating, on people’s profiles you could ask a yes/no questions about whether this person is a fit for me at this time. It’s a huge time saver!”
“Trust what you’re receiving, once you get clear yes/no responses then ask yourself how would you apply or integrate that answer into your life.”

This episode is Ariel’s third on empowered dating. Do you need to know what you’re looking for? Do you want to get clarity? Do you want to learn about different dating choices? Have you done monogamy or vanilla relationships and what to try something else? Ariel talks about these things but be warned, some of the content and conversations might be triggering if you’re used to a very conservative dating lifestyle.

Clear negative energy connections you experience while dating with Ariel's Violet Flame Relationship Clearing Practice. Ariel uses this and other energy medicine tools to clear negative cording attachments.

If you share this tool, please acknowledge me as its creator, especially if you do this on social media or in writing.

Violet Flame Relationship Clearing by Ariel F. Hubbard, www.arielhubbard.com 

I am, I am, I am a Sovereign Being.

I choose the energies that are in my field.

I choose the energies of Peace, Light, and Unconditional Love, and so it is. 

(Say or think the name of the person you are releasing 3 times)

At this time, I choose to release my energy from your field

Bringing it back to me through the Violet Flame

Where it is cleansed, blessed and purified. I reclaim my life force energy and my power. And so it is.

Notice whether you feel a release physically, energetically, emotionally or spiritually.

(Say or think their name 3 times)

At this time, I choose to release your energy from my field

Sending it back to you through the Violet Flame

Where it is cleansed, blessed and purified.

To do with as you will.  I release it to you with love.   And so it is. 

Notice whether you feel a release physically, energetically, emotionally or spiritually.  After which process did you feel more of a shift? That will indicate where there was a stronger cording attachment.  You may need to do this several times if the cording is strong.  Some people may seek to re-engage with you once you have released cording—be prepared and stay disengaged.  Or re-engage, but in a way that honours your boundaries.

Urban Tantra by Barbara Carrellas gives practical exercises for people to connect with tantric energy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Women are the essence and expression of the divine feminine archetype and there are a lot of expressions of that. And yes, everyone has masculine and feminine energy inside of them, but women are the essence of the feminine. There are different types of archetypes: the maiden, the mother, the crone, the creator, the sex goddess, wise women. You have those  qualities within you whether you’re sweet and kind or criticising or manifesting and men, whether they’re aware of it or not, are attracted to your sexual and spiritual energy. When you fate online men are trying to access this energy and they often do it by asking sexual questions.
• There are three groups of men: Men who want casual sex, men who want relationships, and guys who don’t know what they want – these aren’t guys you want to waste your time on. Cross those people off your list, your time is precious. The men who want quick access to your sexual energy are taking shortcuts by skipping dating steps. If it makes you feel nervous or afraid that’s because it’s not safe because they haven’t taken the time or effort to build up trust.
• Once we’re older and we exit a relationship (long- or short-term), it leaves us wondering what’s important in life. You may have wondered if all the effort you put into your past relationships was worth it, or you might feel that you didn’t get what you were looking for, or you might want something totally different. Give yourself permission to open yourself up to different possibilities. Life now is different to life in your teens and twenties and your desires and needs are different as well.
• Most people have grown up experiencing vanilla sex or relationships and they get into a rut where they do the same kinds of behaviours over and over again. They expect their partner to be monogamous and they may rarely or never actually talk about sex or their fantasies. This is one of the many reasons why relationships end. Men and some women do want variety and sometimes they get bored of the same persona and the same actions over and over again, not just sex but relationship actions too.

BEST MOMENTS

“Men have the spiritual energy of being a director or a builder, women are creators and gestators of ideas and men take and direct the energy that the feminine gives them and make it come into physical existence.”
“If you’re looking for casual sex, you need to be treated with respect with that even.”
“Just because you might have been monogamous for years does not mean you have to have the same kind of sex or relationship life you had before. This is an ideal time to look at and explore other options.”
“Kinks are a way of experiencing sexuality or arousal from something that’s not normally considered sexual or sexy. Tantra is a way of working with sacred sexual energy (with yourself or a partner) to open up kundalini flow and your chakras to expand your spiritual consciousness.”

This second episode in a three-episode series on dating is about dating safely. It used to be that our biggest worry around dating was ruining our reputation, these days you can lose your identity, your life savings, your freedom, or your bodily safety by dating.

Ariel's upcoming book is The Empowered Woman's Guide to Online Dating (see pre-order link, below.)

The FTC reported recently that $1.3 billion was stolen from people in the U.S in 2021 via romance scams. This is more than the past 5 years, combined!

Tips:

www.intellius.com Do a reverse phone lookup to find out if the name of the person matches the name given to you by a dating prospect.

You can also screenshot a profile photo and do a reverse image search to see if the image is on other dating sites or other profiles (some scammers use the same photo, especially military photos stolen from actual military personnel, sometimes hundreds of times).

 Fact check whether a message sent to you is part of a script.

Copy the message and paste into Google to see if it comes up in a search or go to https://www.scamhatersunited.com/?m=1 

If you see it in a search, you know it is a script and that person is a scammer.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If someone is intimidating you, manipulating you or pushing you into giving them money or they’re saying “I want to come and see you and I love you but my kid is hurt/my mother needs surgery/I lost my wallet…” you can be sure that is a scam. It usually starts with asking for gift cards and usually starts with first contact.
• Don’t use your real name anywhere on a dating site. People can take your first and last name as well as your cell number and do a look up. If you’re dating I recommend using Intellius to verify people’s actual identities. You can find out if they have court cases, bankruptcies, criminal records, you can find out names of their relatives and where they live. If you can look up this information about other people they can look it up about you.
• When you give out your phone number you’re going to want to put out a Google Voice number, which is an app you put on your phone, attach this to your cell phone number so when you get messages  from a different number they show up on your phone. That way, if people call you they don’t have your real phone number with which to look up information about you. Some people don’t take it well when you reject them and they might show up at your house and try to hurt you or your kids.
• To avoid being scammed – especially if you’re over 50 – you need to set boundaries, check for differences in the way a profile is written compared to how they communicate (including spelling/grammar mistakes, non-American slang). If they seem shady, block and report them.

BEST MOMENTS
“More than $1.3 billion was stolen from people through romance scams in the US in 2021, this is more than the past five years combined. Last year 70,000 people reported they were the victim of a romance scam with the average loss at $4,400.”
“One of the ways to identify a scammer is that they’ll ask for your first name right away.”
“Because of data scraping on big companies and government organisations you can pretty much guarantee that your information is out there on the dark web.”
“Requiring people to meet you for a date is going to screen out all kinds of inappropriate people, like married men, scammers, people lying about their age or appearance.”
