  • 127 | Is Your Budgeting Software Preventing Wealth?

    Your financial software is designed to track your past — not create your future.  In this episode, we explore how tools like Monarch Money, QuickBooks, and your banking apps reflect where you've been, not where you're going.

    When you let old numbers dictate what’s possible, you unconsciously keep recreating the same financial story. True transformation starts by shifting your self-concept and making decisions from who you want to become, not who you’ve been.

    We dive into:

    • How past financial data reflects old beliefs, comfort zones, and identity
    • Why relying on your history puts an invisible ceiling on your growth
    • The power of making decisions based on your desired future — even when it feels uncomfortable
    • How your nervous system resists new financial patterns, and why that’s normal
    • Ways to repurpose your financial software: celebrate what you’ve already created, then play with new “what ifs”

  • 126 | What If Your Money Healing Journey is the Best Financial Education for Your Kids?

    Ever feel torn between wanting to teach your kids healthy money habits while still figuring them out yourself? You’re not the only one.

    In this episode, I dive into the beautifully messy middle of breaking generational money patterns. What if your healing journey is actually the lesson your kids need most? They’re not looking for perfection—they’re learning by watching how you navigate money, regulate emotions, and grow your wealth consciousness.

    Key takeaways:

    • Kids learn more from your energy and actions than your words
    • Regulate your nervous system before money talks
    • Frame mistakes as learning, not shame
    • Discuss purchases in terms of values, not just cost
    • Model putting yourself first, especially for girls
    • Small, honest conversations compound over time

    You don’t need to have it all figured out.  Your evolving relationship with money is already the perfect curriculum.

  • 125 | How to Create Generational Wealth That Goes Beyond Money

    What if generational wealth isn’t just about money?

    We’ve been taught it’s all about assets and tax strategy.  I believe the real legacy is about your money beliefs, patterns, and energy your kids pick up from you every single day.

    Many of us are the first in our families to build real wealth in our 30s and 40s, often from a foundation of scarcity and stress. And we know that just having money doesn’t create safety.

     In this episode, we dive into:


     ✨ Redefining generational wealth beyond just financial assets
     ✨ How money beliefs and energy get passed down (often unconsciously)
     ✨ Why a regulated nervous system leads to healthier financial decisions
     ✨ Small ways to start shifting the money language in your home
     ✨ How simply becoming aware of your patterns can start changing everything.

  • 124 | Feeling Shame About “Losing Money”? Try These Money Mindset Reframes

    Ever felt like you “lost money” on a course, coach, or investment that didn’t deliver what you expected? In this episode, I break down why money is never truly lost—it’s energy that circulates and always returns. I share my personal story of investing $8,000 in a program that fell short, and how reframing it as a powerful lesson kept me open to even greater opportunities. 

    In this episode I discuss:

     ✨ Money is energy; it can’t be created or destroyed—it simply circulates.
     ✨ Saying “I lost money” feels final and heavy, while “I invested and learned” keeps you open and empowered.
     ✨ Every dollar spent is an investment in your growth, clarity, and self-concept.
     ✨ The way you feel when you circulate money impacts how quickly it returns.
     ✨ Our greatest “losses” often come right before our greatest gains.
     ✨ True empowerment comes when you decide what your investments mean for you.

  • 122 | Navigating Financial Pressure in Business: A Heart-Centered Take on Money Mindset (with Jess Hershey)

    What if your relationship with money reflects your deepest beliefs about yourself? In this episode, Jess Hershey, founder of MOCA Business Services interviewed me in her community and we unpack how our current financial reality often reveals our beliefs about our worthiness and safety. 

    We explore why slowing down during money stress isn’t just self-care—it’s a smart business move. I share how Human Design can guide more aligned financial decisions, why business naturally moves in cycles (not constant growth), and how shifting from taking energy to giving energy can transform sales.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Your relationship with money often mirrors how you see yourself.
    • Business follows natural ebbs and flows
    • Financial stress activates survival mode, blocking creative ideas and clear decision making.
    • Self-regulation is an important business skill
    • Bringing more fun into money can heal strained financial patterns.

  • 120 | How to Energetically Increase Your Capacity for More Wealth, Prosperity and Abundance

    Ready to break through your financial ceiling? The solution isn’t another money hack—it’s expanding your energetic capacity to hold and receive more wealth.

    In this episode, I explain how your subconscious beliefs and nervous system shape your financial reality. If you’ve ever felt like you can't spend what you currently have or if abundance feels emotionally unsafe despite how much you want it—this is for you.

    I dive into how to identify and gently release protective money beliefs that no longer serve you. Because true financial growth isn’t just about spreadsheets—it’s about feeling safe, grounded, and empowered in your body to receive more.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why your subconscious money patterns aren’t random—they’re protective
    • How to identify limiting wealth beliefs with compassion, not judgment
    • What it means to expand your nervous system’s capacity to hold abundance
    • The role of celebration and daily grounding in creating embodied wealth
    • How to use end-scene visualization to rewire your energetic relationship to money
    • Why inspired action from an expanded identity creates lasting transformation

    Your ability to grow wealth is directly tied to how safe and worthy you feel receiving it and having it.

    Do you have the proper beneficiary designations setup on your bank accounts?  In this episode, I dive into the overlooked yet essential role of Payable on Death (POD) designations in estate planning.

    Whether you have a will, trust, or both, your plan might still not include properly designated PODs on your bank accounts, CDs, and money market funds.

    In this episode I discuss:

    • What a POD (or TOD) designation actually does
    • How PODs help your loved ones avoid probate delays
    • The simple, free process to set them up through your bank
    • Common mistakes—like assuming joint accounts are enough
