- Money Mindset
The episodes on money really hit home! I know I have put limiting beliefs on myself in regards to growing wealth and this helped me to realize the work starts not with a spreadsheet but with reframing my thoughts.

Just listened to the interview about the first semester of college. Great tidbits for parents and students. My son is a freshman in high school, so this gave me things to start teaching him now. And I already sent it to my sister who has a senior in high school.

Apple Podcasts5Angel MirayaUnited States9 months ago - A Sacred Permission Slip
This episode is a permission slip to stop hustling, take a next step, and breathe. Navigating this foggy space can be overwhelming because it is a huge shift.
Letting go isn't failure and grieving what’s been lost is a natural part of this process. Thank you for the gentle reminder to turn inward and listen with intention, even if it means sitting and uncomfortably waiting sometimes.
