| Wanting Legacy Money + Lifestyle Content | 20 Jun 2025 | 01:31:07 | |
In our intro episode, we give workshop-level insights into the power of claiming your desires publicly and reframing the shame and selfishness we feel around âwantingâ. Weâll coach each other (and you!) on pivoting towards lifestyle content without diluting trust or impact and breaking free from the paycheque-to-paycheque cycle (no matter how much money youâre bringing in). From manifesting enough embryos to build a soccer team and calling in enough wealth to buy one, weâre covering it all. Join us in Spain this November at our week-long retreat (and get a year of coaching and community support, too)!

What does ~*receiving abundance*~ really mean, and is it⌠bullshit?

Also: all the moving things are HAPPENINGGGG and we chit chat about whatâs still left to do, handwriting insecurity, new tattoos, and when a $30 salad is actually worth it. Spoiler: itâs the parm.

What do you MEAN âcash monthsâ?! In this episode we drop our July Want Lists, including how we approach monthly revenue goals, cash flow, and what a âsuccessfulâ month means in context.

| Wanting Creative Rituals + Rooted Values | 15 Aug 2025 | 01:15:56 | |
SOS, WE LOST THE PLOT. Xanthe arrives to this episode feeling so fucking done with being in âfixing energy,â hoping for a way to shake up her morning routine to feel more like LIVING the dream life (instead of just journaling about it). Kaitlyn seeks support on keeping her messaging in alignment with her core values, noticing a tendency to get distracted by ideas that donât connect back to the big picture. We also touch on how weâre navigating September planning, how weâve pivoted our processes to support lower capacity over the last few weeks, teaching your nervous system itâs safe to slow down, and how to follow inspiration without confusing your people (or yourself).
