Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Melisa Alaba, Brave Woman, Mom, cancer survivor, Breakthrough Coach, Money Maven and resilient badass Black woman.I know what it’s like to lose something you love and experience your entire life flipping upside down as you try to figure out who you’re supposed to be now.Going through cancer and a divorce at the same time was a serious wakeup call. Life was saying, “It’s time to heal old wounds and reach for new dreams.”I went through all the same “quick fixes” you’ve probably tried (therapy, meditation, heck, you probably don’t want to see the notes I wrote in a couple of those self-help books everyone was talking about at the time.) But it was only when I decided that I had to work on me as a whole rather than work on different parts of me that I started to see the shift.During that time, I discovered healing had to involve my finances. I started by rebuilding my financial foundation, asking for more in my business and for the support I needed at home. This opened up the possibility to recover my entire life.Being Rich and Worthy is knowing we can be emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially abundant. We get to be whole.Through that self-healing journey, I learned about energetic healing and how to release old trauma. However, it was only when I started studying how to heal in my finances and applying abundance principles to my entire life that I noticed a big shift in confidence. This is where the B’healed Process was born.Beautiful, Have an Extraordinary, Awesome Life Every Day.Now, I help women who are on a similar journey to the one I walked to see themselves as the worthy women they’ve always been.Connect with me on Facebook and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/melisa.alabaAre you ready for your one-on-one VIP session with me?

What’s holding you back? What’s keeping you from having that big breakthrough in your life? We all desire to have more money so we can have more experiences and take care of the people we love, and be able to give service in the world.Problem is, most of us have been programmed from a young age to believe that we’re not worthy. That it’s not safe to have money, or there isn’t enough to go around.Get to a place where you feel worthy.  Your life right now is a reflection of what you’ve been thinking for the last month, year, or lifetime.  What are you programmed to believe? What is your set point?As your money healer, I want you to do your daily money mindset work.Connect with me on Facebook and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/melisa.alabaAre you ready for your one-on-one VIP session with me?

Getting good with money, feeling safe with money, is all about embodying your money vibe.  Money is just energy.  It’s a way to compensate for the exchange of energy, and sometimes the universe just rewards you for being.When you see money as part of yourself, instead of something separate to only be dealt with when bills are due, you’ll do things a little differently.I have a journal prompt for you today: How am I embodying what I desire right now for myself?Connect with me on Facebook and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/melisa.alabaAre you ready for your one-on-one VIP session with me?

In this episode, I want to talk about how our emotions help us tune into what’s next for us. If you’re new to money mindset work, maybe you’ve read a couple books and decide to get your money straight, right? But, maybe you’re avoiding tax or bill collector calls or letting bills pile up unopened. Are you telling yourself you’re not good with money?  That right there can keep you from making progress.Emotions like anger and jealousy can actually tell you what it is you really desire and what you need to work on next. Emotions are there to protect you and they’re not bad, but you can’t stay in that space. We all have some trauma that is shaping your worldview and emotions are an indicator of where you need support.Pay attention to your emotions this week.  On social media, what posts are giving you joy and which posts are causing you to question yourself or feel a certain way?  That’s where the work is. Journal prompt for this episode: What emotions do I need to declutter?

Desires: all those things that make life full, exciting, and full of flavor! A lot of people have shut down their desires because there are things they’ve been hoping for that haven’t come true.The wanting energy creates struggle, not believing you can have it, and that creates a lot of wobble.Are you putting constrictions and conditions on money? Are you holding back on desires because you feel they have to happen a certain way? Are you making decisions based on what you truly desire or what you’re conditioned to want? Fear will come and try to lock you out of the things you’re designed to have.Your assignment for this episode is to add “and” to the things you desire.  You can have freedom and time. You can have a delicious meal and good health, for example.Connect with me on Facebook and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/melisa.alabaAre you ready for your one-on-one VIP session with me?

Raising your prices isn’t always as easy as just doubling your rates. Many clients come to me wanting to raise their prices but are very uncomfortable about it.I think there are some things we have to process in order to get more money and more value.We need to have the conversation about lack and survival left over from slaveryWe need to clear out the energy of being sold and boughtThere are good things in that DNA too. We take care of each other, look out for each other, and turn little into much. That can make it hard to charge more because you don’t want to cause hardship on family.It’s time to get out of surviving mode and into thriving mode. As a businesswoman, as a person wanting to serve, I need to earn so I can give back. I need to earn in integrity so I can give back.When you raise your rates, you’re not hurting anyone. The folks that are the energetic match for you will show up and do the work.What’s stuck in your DNA? What kind of lack mindset is coming up when you ask for more?Connect with me on Facebook and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/melisa.alabaAre you ready for your one-on-one VIP session with me?

What happens for so many of us is we have a 9-5, or some sort of service job that we want out of, and we also have the entrepreneurial side business we’re trying to run. What I see so many times is that women can get caught up in working “on” the business instead of “in” the business. This looks like redoing your website again, making more cute reels, and networking in Facebook groups, but not really showing up and selling your offers. People can’t buy if they don’t know what you do! What can you do to show up bigger and more bad-ass in your business right now? What can you do right now to cause and allow your business to be one of success? Connect with me on Facebook and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/melisa.alabaAre you ready for your one-on-one VIP session with me?

Building a team takes effort and work, and you need to understand your own leadership style. If you don’t understand who you’re hiring and what you’re hiring for, it won’t work well.Today I’m going to share some tools I use for hiring folks that serve at a very high level.First, I ask: Are they humble and able to take instruction?Are they smart? Can they think on their feet?Are they hungry? Do they have a deep desire to want more for themselves and their lives?Every time one of these elements is missing, the hire doesn’t mesh well. I also use the Clifton Strengths Assessment and have for years to help understand what people are best at and make sure they’ll fit in with the strengths we already have. What are you doing to build up a better version of yourself? How is that showing up? Seeds that we sow have a visual effect. When you’ve been sowing good seed, you’ll be able to look at the harvest and see the good you’ve been laying down. Connect with me on Facebook and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/melisa.alaba and at my website at www.melisaalaba.comAre you ready for your one-on-one VIP session with me?
