Waking Up Wealthy with Isha Vela

If you've ever felt blocked creatively If you've ever struggled with feeling like what you paint/sculpt/draw/write is crap If you've not experienced art-making as a liberatory practice This episode is for you.  I sat down with Nadja Marks-Shafton, a young artist who turned her house into a gallery and living sanctuary, Casa Nadja, where she now runs workshops and retreats for people to tap into their creative abundance and artistic liberation. Nadja is a mystic and philosopher whose work has appeared in international magazines, books, film, and television, but what matters most to her is how her paintings make you FEEL. In this episode, she shares her journey going from extreme mental lack to finding infinite flow from Source within.  If this sounds like fluff to you, it's NOT, in fact Nadja shares some very specific practices she uses to meet herself right where she is, NO MATTER WHAT, to transmute and create from that well.

You say we want more money, but what if that's a cover for your true desires? When you take money off the table, what do you really want?  I sat with Amanda Abella a while back to talk about how her enormous success triggered money trauma, and how she was forced to take time off to heal and later streamlined her business for greater time freedom. Amanda has been an online entrepreneur for 15 years working as a financial educator and a highly successful sales trainer. In 2023, she moved to Mexico with her husband where they co-founded Entrepreneur Expat, a YouTube channel, podcast and relocation company that helps successful entrepreneurs move, invest and build wealth abroad. Even though I don't believe in "selling" a country you're not from to wannabe expats, Amanda speaks from lived experience and drops some brilliant, shoot-from-the-hip nuggets about how you can overcomplicate your business to the point of cockblocking yourself from the very thing you say you want.  Wanna do some shadow work for your biz?

We can't talk about money without talking about how it also impacts gender, ethnicity, race, and immigration status. Especially in the context of what is happening to immigrants in the US, where people are getting picked up and put into police cars in broad daylight and then deported, the topic of putting more money in the hands of immigrants is both crucial and timely. I sat down with Adriana Solórzano, who is a financial mentor, intuitive healer, and founder of Raíces y Alas, a podcast dedicated to helping immigrant women heal their relationship with money.  Born in Venezuela and now based in British Columbia, Canada, Adriana blends financial education with emotional and spiritual wisdom to guide women toward conscious wealth and personal sovereignty.  Through personal storytelling Adriana shares about her experience navigating the working world as an immigrant and the power differentials in her marriage to a white Canadian man. In this podcast, we also address how Latinas are still in the early stages of reclaiming financial sovereignty and how we can become more active participants and co-creators in the emerging money system. For ourselves, our families and our communities.

Many people are moving to other countries where the cost of living is lower and their money goes farther. This is called currency hacking or geo arbitrage, and many people are doing this to have more time and financial freedom. Makes economic sense, right? The question is: how do we practice geo arbitrage without being a colonizer asshole? In this episode I explore the underlying dynamics/attitudes/practices that contribute to the soft colonialism that is modern currency hacking and offer 8 ways to move to your dream country and also contribute to the people, culture, environment, and local economy of where you are being hosted. This is an ongoing exploration, not easy answers.  Download my 3-session money magnetism activation, PROSPER, to increase your financial confidence and cash flow:  https://ishavela.com    Apply to book your free financial strategy session: https://vortex-financial.ck.page/71853aa421   Apply to join my team of financial revolutionaries on a mission to empower women with financial education and resources: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScjU5QXtEnJiBA6kNK46JB4C9M5zJGOHhY2RsZJXwK66gYqjQ/viewform   Access free content on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@isha_vela   Follow me on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/isha_vela

Should I form an LLC?  What are the pros and cons of an S Corp?  Or C Corp? How does that affect how I pay taxes? I get this question from so many entrepreneurs. And to answer the question property, you first have to consider your business goals. Secondly, you have to differentiate between a corporate structure (LLC) and a tax entity (S Corp). To make this all much clearer, I invited Brandon Trammell--author, podcast host and financial advisor/insurance agent--to speak on the pros and cons of each. Brandon's career in financial services has spanned 15+ years. His firm, Purpose Financial & Insurance Services, was born in 2018 out of a desire to serve in a way that seemed to be missing from the industry; empowering community members with critical knowledge so they may take charge of their financial lives.  in this episode, Brandon walks you through: What a pass-through entity is and why it's important; The questions to ask yourself when choosing a corporate structure; The value of understanding the difference between ordinary and necessary business expenses when adding up your deductions. There's no better time that to dive into this than during tax season, {{contact.first_name}}.  Follow Brandon on YouTube or to his website.
