Aleta Laurence has been retired for the past 19 years. She learned money management by necessity when pregnant with her first child, which was ME! In this episode she shares how she saved diligently and budgeted carefully to build up enough retirement savings to last her throughout her later years. Reflecting on her first full-time salaried job she points out that the take-home pay is never as much as you think it will be. “Of course, then the taxes come out, and the social security comes out, and the copay for the health insurance comes out. And so of course I had a lot less money than I thought I was going to have, but I saved anyway." More than once Aleta mentions how fortunate she feels to have had all the money stuff work out. She occasionally needed a little bit of help along the way in the form of loans which she paid back, but overall it was her consistency in saving and spending wisely which made the difference. She does mention that in hindsight, she thinks it would have been beneficial to have taken more vacations and time off to avoid burnout. Join us for a trip down memory lane! Aleta has a matters degree in urban planning and is the former planning director for Riverside County, California. I feel very fortunate to have been able to interview my mom on the show. After we finished recording she added that she should have told everyone to exercise and brush their teeth. She says if you do those all along you won’t have big problems later but if you don’t, you will struggle, and you can’t make up for it later. More at moneyheartshow.com.

Trauma is not only caused by things like car accidents and bad breakups. Jessica “Vibrant” Hammock teaches that trauma can be caused by anything where we had an expectation and what actually happened did not meet our expectations.  Therefore, anytime we have a money experience that doesn’t meet our expectations we may have a trauma response and store it in our bodies. This often appears as headaches, anxiety, depression, stress, and more. In this episode, Jessica teaches us how to begin to rewire our thinking around money. She encourages us to give ourselves permission to recognize where we are, change our behaviors, and learn a new story. Join us!

After 20 years of work Sarah Leslie had a very high paying career doing something she was really good at… but it was killing her. The job was so intense that she was literally sleeping with her cell phone in the bed so she wouldn’t miss any work related calls. People were starting to comment that she was losing weight and turning pale. One day during the final rest pose of a yoga class, lying there in the dark with about 50 other people, she started crying uncontrollably. That was totally out of character and it was enough to finally move her to action. When she got up from that mat she knew she had to make a change and resigned from her job the very next day. Sarah is now an Identity Artist who helps highly motivated individuals become strategically liberated CEO over their whole lives, including the way they create money. In addition to sharing her story, in this episode Sarah reveals the underlying causes of why we get stuck in our money beliefs and how we can start to break free. "Money is just paper. Money doesn't mean anything unless you and I agree it means something." -Sarah Leslie About Sarah Leslie Sarah spent the first 20 years of her career working from the therapy chair and as the Director of Clinical services over a 150 bed residential facility.   After a dramatic shift in her own life, she pivoted to the virtual space allowing her the freedom to work from anywhere!  Now, she helps highly motivated individuals become strategically liberated CEO over their whole lives, including the way they create money.   She stands out from others in her field as she is fiercely committed to her own personal growth so that she can continue to push past her own limits.  She loves nature, being near the water and the mountains, cooking delicious meals and having thought provoking conversations.

Many of us, especially women, are taught that in order to serve we must sacrifice something precious to us. Frequently, the sacrifice we make is our own well being. We sacrifice our income, our physical health, and our and mental health to be what we believe to be the most helpful and the most useful person possible. For years Linda-Ann Stewart did exactly that. She volunteered regularly and helped out with every event until her health took a turn for the worst and she was forced to learn to say “no”. As she practiced saying no she made some key discoveries about being of service versus giving a gift. Most importantly that service doesn’t have to be for free and that it’s incredibly hard to give when your energy and finances are low. In this episode Linda-Ann shares her story and we discuss how value, priorities, feeling indebted, and feelings of  resentment all play into this theme. Linda-Ann does a wonderful job of teaching us where to draw the line, creative ways to say no with confidence and kindness, and how to serve without sacrifice. "Service is different than a gift." -Linda-Ann Stewart About Linda-Ann Stewart As a focus coach, hypnotherapist, speaker and writer, Linda-Ann Stewart works with women entrepreneurs and small business owners who have gotten stuck and distracted by shiny objects. She empowers them to focus, master their mindset and manage their priorities, so they manifest greater prosperity, well being and freedom.

She suggested wearing chainmail we’d each gotten at a faire along with some matching garb. The hardest part for me was choosing which chainmail pieces to wear! More at moneyheartshow.com.

Not too long ago Jen Vellenga (Jen V) and Jennifer Rettele-Thomas (JRT) started a company dedicated to helping women speak with presence as a side hustle. Then after a few months, they decided to take a big risk. They chose to resign from their steady, stable, university jobs and make their side hustle their main gig. In this episode, Jen V shares what it was like to take such a risk (yes, there was last minute panicking involved) and how they knew it would be worth it. She talks about her supportive husband and a few others who were much less supportive. We also chat about what it’s like to be an entrepreneur, the power of partnerships, and quantum leaps. Join us!

Robert spent 10 years traveling the world and working as a missionary. During his travels he learned many important lessons. One was that smiles and hugs translate into any language. Another was the fact that we need money to make an impact in the world. Robert came across many missionaries who believed they needed to give away all the money that came to them and that sacrifice was required to be righteous. Robert realized the more money he had the more he could affect change in the world. In this episode he shares how he came to this conclusion and how he’s built a business based on teaching other entrepreneurs to do the same. “Don't act in fear. Don't use money in fear.

In her Reiki practice Devin teaches that the spirt world loves joy and playful energy. When we focus too much on the “I need to make money” thought we are damming the flow of that energy and slowing our money energy to a trickle.

Money = Silver." - SJ Barakony Costumes SJ’s title is The Education Sherpa so I decided to play with the Sherpa theme. After a bit of googling for inspiration I put together a costume representing those amazing guides who lead people up Mt. Everest.

Savannah and I easily connected over our shared experience of trying to tune out what everyone and everything else in the universe was trying to tell us. Once we finally embraced our callings life became infinitely better. In this episode Savannah shares her story of how she finally tuned into her worthiness and how you can, too. There are so many actionable exercises in this episode it’s definitely worth a listen. Savannah actually walks me through the exercises so you can see exactly how quickly they produce results. “You always know.
