Brave Women at Work – Détails, épisodes et analyse

As we get closer to the end of the year, we typically think about our New Year’s Resolutions. One resolution that ends up on many people’s lists is to get out of debt and save more money.

What we don’t often talk about is the powerful connection between our wealth and our health. Like my guest today, Krissina Wise, we may take our health for granted in the pursuit of wealth and not even know we are doing it.

Krisstina spent between $250,000 and $500,000 getting her health back after a major health scare while at the pinnacle of her career success and has made it her mission to help people not only have a love affair with their money, but also with taking care of themselves so they can lead fulfilling lives.

This conversation is power-packed, so get ready!

During my conversation with Krisstina, we chatted about:

1. The pivotal moment in which she almost lost her life.
2. What Krisstina needed to learn to get her life back on track.
3. What wealthywellthy means and why it is important.
4. Does wealthy have to mean having a lot in your bank account?
5. How do we find our financial sweet spot?
6. What does it take to be a millionaire?
7. What steps we can take to fall in our love with our money without sacrificing our health.

Ok, I have a secret. When the Matrix movies first came out with Keanu Reeves, I went to the movies to see them. And you know what happened? I fell asleep. They were so exciting and full of new technology and film effects, but I could not stay awake. I guess I did “get” them.

Well, my guest, Susanne Goldstein, not only gets them, but she also helps women wake up and break free from the prisons the world and their prior choices have put them in.

Susanne says that she watches the Matrix movies on New Year’s Eve. Who knows, now that I better understand the point behind the movies, I may watch them too. And this time, I won’t fall asleep. Fingers crossed!

During my conversation with Susanne, we chatted about:

1. The tools she uses with her clients, including metaphysics and energetics.
2. Why she loves the Matrix movies and watches them every year.
3. What an upgrade is and why we can have multiple upgrades throughout our lives and careers.
4. If upgrades are conscious and planned, subconscious or both.
5. What steps we can take to break free from our own version of the Matrix.

A quick note for you concerning today’s show: Susanne and I let the language rip, so listen to the show with your earbuds or other microphones and away from little ears.

Here’s a fact about me. I’m a nerd for making a list and setting a plan. How about you? Planning is not making a resolution. It’s putting pen to paper, setting goals, and executing.

During my conversation with Anna, we discussed:

1. Her thoughts on her quarterly and annual planning process

2. How often Anna revisits and reviews her plan

3. The roadblocks to successful planning
