4.18 | What's Getting in the Way of Your Wealth with Claire Skinner
Season 4 · Episode 18
Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 57:48
Come sit at the table with me with my financial advisor and trainer Claire's Skinner.
Her passion made me fall in love with financial planning so hard that I came into the business!
Professionally speaking, Claire is a non-captive Investment Advisor Representative who transitioned 18 years of experience in retail and internet sales, finance management, sales management, and corporate training experience in the automotive industry to a career in financial services.
There are a lot of things that make Claire special but one of them is her fervent belief in financial education and empowerment, especially around rectifying inequalities and building generational wealth in communities that have been ignored by the traditional financial services industry.
Her generosity is OUT OF THIS WORLD.
In this conversation we talk about the things that get in the way of getting financially educated, creating a plan, and advocating for yourself.
We address some of the most common biases people have about banks, money and finance with FACTS and help you think big picture about investing so that you can win in the markets (even when you don't like the money system).
Get ready to keep it real. Pull up a seat, grab your tea and let's dive in.
4.17 | Relaxing Into the Seasons and Cycles of Money with Katya Nova
Season 4 · Episode 17
Tuesday, September 3, 2024 • Duration 01:02:42
Of all the podcast episodes I've recorded, I've never had a conversation LIKE this or ABOUT this, and I'm so not surprised I had it with Katya Nova.
Katya is a BRILLIANT storyteller/entrepreneur and barefoot jungle mama of four living in Costa Rica whose mission is to move more money through the hands of women.
She's the creator of several viral online events including last year's Wealthy Woman Vault and THIS year's Wealthy Woman 2024.
Yes, it's happening again, right now!! (see link below)
In between belly laughs, Katya and I share stories that illuminate
-the cyclical and seasonal and fluid nature of EVERYTHING, including money (and love);
-the illusion of consistent income; and
-the magical (and somewhat kinky) realms of money.
We also offer somatic practices to unhook guilt and shame from money so that you can shift into greater havingness and co-conspiritatorship with money.
This episode is going to feel like a gentle permission slip into deeper relaxation and PEACE around money. (Did you know peace exists at a higher vibrational frequency than joy?)
Come sit at the table and let's spill the tea on the unexpected truth of what it means to RECEIVE.
This episode is the 2nd of a 3-part series on Money and the Nervous System to introduce NEXT WORTH, my 7-week live journey on embodying prosperity to become a magnet for money and miracles.
In it I offer specific tools on how to increase your nervous system set point so that you can increase your capacity to receive, hold and manage larger quantities of money JOYFULLY.
As part of this episode I explain how the state of your nervous system informs the stories in your head and why mindset can leave you feeling frustrated and stuck, especially if you're a first gen wealth creator and/or if you belong to a historically marginalized group.
I offer 3 different practices and tips for how to increase your money magnetism by expanding your range of regulation (capacitation), including the key piece to uncoupling story from sensation...
...which ultimately leads to your financial liberation!
These are the grounding practices and philosophies of NEXT WORTH, where you'll be guided through somatic practices, hypnotic meditations, creative exercises, ritual magic and practical action steps so that you can increase your income and BE an embodiment of wealth that's not dependent on numbers.

4.7 | Creating a Mind Map for Wealth
Season 4 · Episode 7
Monday, April 8, 2024 • Duration 15:30
YOUR NEXT WORTH HAS ARRIVED!!!
NEXT WORTH is a 7-week live group experience incorporating rituals, somatic practices and magical aspects to embodying wealth as well as practical strategies to feeling safer and more confident receiving, holding, and creating greater financial freedom.
For the last 6 months I've been curating the content with my hypnotist friend, magical colleague and course designer Pattie Belle Hastings.
We put our superpowers together to deliver a highly organized experience with short instructional videos, worksheets, and live calls for easy digesting and processing through the body.
In this episode of the podcast I'm giving you a taste of one of an exercise we'll be doing together if you decide to join me inside NEXT WORTH, which is creating a mind map for wealth.
A mind map is a diagram to visually organize information while showing relationships among pieces of a whole.
Creating a mind map for wealth can be a powerful exercise to visualize your financial goals, strategies, and the steps you need to take to achieve wealth.
I guide you step by step in creating your mind map for wealth, which includes
1) beliefs systems, intimacy with money, spiritual practices (the personal development stuff) and
2) saving, investing, budgeting, additional income streams, insurance (the buts and bolts of money).

4.6 | Building Social Impact Initiatives into Your Business with Brigette Iarusso
Season 4 · Episode 6
Monday, March 25, 2024 • Duration 51:30
Brigette Iarusso is a disruptive business coach and non-oppressive sales expert for leaders looking to build sustainable business systems in alignment with their values.
She is the creator of the Disruptive Business Summit (see more information and link below), a collection of interviews with some of the industry's most respected leaders including Jennifer Kem, Myisha T. Hill, Trudi Lebron and many others, to bring you the very best advice, insights and tools we can offer to help you scale with integrity.
In fact, this podcast interview is a beautiful preview to some of what you're going to learn at the Disruptive Scale Summit, which gets right to the heart of how to make more money, save time and change more lives, while staying true to your values around personal and collective liberation.
On the podcast, Brigette addresses how to sell your offers consensually, whereby a prospective client is guided through your free introductory event and into a sales conversation with transparency.
She breaks down what kind of events and how to run events so that they lead to sales conversations where the prospective client already has most of what they need to make a decision.
She describes in detail the many ways you can build social impact initiatives and activism into your business (AND make money), because at the heart of this conversation is also how we as spiritual and conscious healers and helpers sometimes recreate systems of oppression by undercharging for our services.
You won't want to miss her holy rant about the important difference between millionaires and billionaires!

4.5 | Demystifying Crypto with Ombiya Ra
Season 4 · Episode 5
Sunday, March 10, 2024 • Duration 44:43
I keep saying it, and I'm going to say it again: THIS IS THE YEAR to invest in crypto.
One of the many things that I love about crypto is that it offers anyone with $500 access to the best performing asset in the last decade.
We're in a unique window right now, which is why I brought one of my crypto mentors, Ombiya Ra, to the podcast to talk about her journey in crypto and demystify it for you.
She gets into what it actually IS, breaks down some of the concepts and terms and explains all the behind-the-scenes legal drama with the FCC and their attempts to centralize exchanges.
If you have a mission to live free, if you've been cryptocurious and wanting to dip your toe into it but don't know where to start, you're going to want to listen to this.
4.4 | Creating Multiple Streams of Income Using Digital Products with Leah Ardent (Part 2 of an Interview with Leah Ardent)
Season 4 · Episode 4
Saturday, February 24, 2024 • Duration 33:54
This is the second half of the epic interview I had with Leah Ardent on creating multiple income streams using digital products and affiliate marketing. If you missed part one, go listen to it in the previous episode!
She talks about how energetically expensive it is to build a personal brand and offers specific financial criteria for when's the right to launch a personal brand.
In the meantime, though, she suggests getting into affiliate marketing as a crash course in learning how to nurture, invite, and sell WITHOUT having to develop an offer AND while getting paid.
Brilliant, right?
She also talks about affiliate marketing as an ethical and sacred symbiosis where wealth is shared between the person promoting the offer and those helping to distribute it.
4.3 | Balancing Access and Equity in Your Pricing with Leah Ardent (Part 1 of an Interview with Leah Ardent)
Season 4 · Episode 3
Friday, February 9, 2024 • Duration 38:13
Have you ever wondered how to balance access to your offers with pricing that feels both fair for you and the people you serve?
There have been so many ways that femme entrepreneurs have been miseducated about business and business energetics, and Leah Ardent's the one to get super real and break that shit down piece by piece. And have you laughing all the way through!
Though I brought her back to talk about multiple streams of income, we started with a necessary critical analysis of sales and marketing, specifically how we've been subtly manipulated into generosity resulting in free labor and a replication of a colonial dynamic of self-extraction (and burnout).
Especially as parents and sole providers.
Leah outlines EXACTLY how to balance access and equity so that you are empowering your client and scaffolding them to be able to afford your higher ticket offers!
It's truly brilliant, give it a listen.
Come back on February 24th for the second part of this amazing interview!
4.2 | 8 Revolutionary Habits for Financial Independence
Season 4 · Episode 2
Thursday, January 25, 2024 • Duration 28:49
As a licensed financial professional I don't believe in giving one-size-fits-all financial advice to you, but I DO want to address some money habits that'll set you up for future financial independence.
Financial independence means having enough financial stability and resources to support your desired lifestyle and meet financial goals without depending on others for financial assistance.
It includes being able to cover essential expenses like housing, food, healthcare, and education, as well as discretionary spending and future financial planning.
Most importantly, it requires responsible management and control of one's finances, making informed decisions about spending, saving, and investing.
In this episode I address why
-having a financial focus and plan is *critical* regardless of the amount of money you make;
-breaking free from systems INTERNALLY is the way to change systems (i.e., NOT from the top down);
-shifting from a consumer to a creator/saver identity changes your dopamine reward system;
-delayed gratification is like extending your orgasm.
I also walk you through how to calculate your financial independence number, diversify your assets, and create multiple income streams!

4.1 | How to Lead When Your Ancestral Trauma is Activated with Daniela Miranda
Season 4 · Episode 1
Wednesday, January 10, 2024 • Duration 55:53
It's season 4 of the podcast!
I wanted to kick off this season with a conversation I had with Daniela Miranda, ceremonial leader of Mapuche ancestry and unbranding photographer, about what leadership looks like in the face of genocide.
This conversation sprung from a post I made online in December about celebrating Hanukkah and simultaneously calling for a ceasefire. It was not a thoughtful post and came from a place of pain and powerlessness.
There was a war of words that broke out in the comment section of that post, which was also incredibly painful and led me to ask myself how I wanted to lead around this topic so loaded with ancestral trauma (mine and everyone else's).
Dani and I both share a strong spiritual connection to our ancestors and have a lot to say about colonial trauma activation and embodied thought leadership from a Latine perspective.
In this conversation we address some of the ways you can take care of yourself emotionally and spiritually so that you can
a) actively metabolize/heal your ancestral trauma/collective pain; and
b) support challenging conversations in ways that can honor multiple perspectives AND standing for humxn rights.
