Morgana dropped some really important gems here, starting with *How her finances changed once her relationship with money changed*Our unconscious need to protect ourselves from what we want *Money is the number 1 excuse human beings make* How people often state money as 'the root of all evil'In this episode, we learn *How to value and respect money*We get down to the root cause of why we push away money.

In this episode, we're joined by Robert Riopel, an international best-selling author, speaker, trainer, and serial entrepreneur. Robert talks about going into $150,000 of debt and being stressed to financially free by the age of 32. Robert discovered his passion for training others because he felt that if he could even assist 1 person in their financial freedom, it would be all worthwhile.Robert and Tamara discuss how he took control of his life and earned financial freedom. One of the things that have allowed him to live the life he's living, is that he's willing to put the work in, even when it comes to doing certain jobs he doesn't necessarily like. He and his wife became franchisees at the age of 23, but later in their 20s, but through poor planning and knowledge, they went into debt and realized they needed to change their mindset in order to create the kind of life they wanted to live in the future. This meant making tough decisions initially. Robert dropped many gems and insights in this episode, from, Suggestions on how to pay off debt such as student loan debt.Thinking about what we enjoy in life and then finding ways to make money around it.Fear and how it is actually what draws obstacles into your life. Enjoying the messy journey that is life.Why it's important to just be you and your authentic self Don't  look at failure as failure, but rather as feedback and to surround yourself with growth-minded peopleHow can anyone get an MBA (Massive Bank Account)Not focusing on our problems, but instead remaining present and thinking of the solution (no matter how small) to help us resolve the problem.The biggest thing you can take away from this conversation with Robert is that  instead of earning a living, we need to create a life and Robert teaches us how we can do that through educating ourselves and creating new streams of income outside the "9-5." And through developing better habits and rewards systems, we can get things done instead of procrastinating.Lastly, Robert teaches us the 4 Currencies of Life and why need to work on all areas of our life because the one we don't pay attention to will sabotage the rest.To get an e-book copy of Robert's book, go to robertriopel.com and download the book.

This week, we're joined by Robin Weaver, MS, INHC. She empowers women, specifically moms to heal their gut issues by improving their mood & reducing stress. She believes we are a culmination of not just WHAT we eat, but HOW we eat, WHY we eat, and WHO we eat with and strives to help women transform their lives because she has overcome her own struggles with the “food-mood relationship”. Robin sheds light on the link between our gut health and brain health.Dealing with bipolar disorder, her last psych break led her to psych hospital where she met her best friend who was a catalyst for her getting healthy. That coupled with her relationship with her daughter has led her to be sober for 5 years now, Developed chronic stomach issues in 2020 which caused her to miss a lot of days at work. Countless tests later, her GI gave her an antidepressant to help with her gut which led her to inquire more. Serotonin (known as the happy chemical) is actually produced in your gut and not your brain as most people believe. The increase of serotonin in her body actually helps to relax her stomach. Her curious nature also led her to study and explore more on the nervous system and how the gut has a direct link to the brain. We also learn why prebiotics is just as important as probiotics for gut health and the types of food we should be eating to get the right nutrients for our body and gut.Robin recommends keeping a food journal to understand how certain foods react with your body and overall well-being as well as eating intuitively. We also learn about how to exercise the vegas nerve such as alternate nostril breathing and a cold shower, which helps with overall stress and anxiety.To learn more about or reach out to Robin, visit her Instagram page And don't forget to check out the All That Wonder Instagram page.

During those 15 years, she has dealt with narcissistic abuse, she did not know who she was and experienced a loss of identity.  Join Gloria and I as we discuss what narcissistic abuse is and the different phases of the cycle, including gaslighting.  We explore how victims of any type of abusive relationship also experience something known as trauma bonding. We'll dive deeper into what trauma bonding is and any signs you should be looking out for to understand if you or someone you know are in an abusive relationship. And if you've ever asked the questions, do narcissists know what they're doing? We've got some answers.  Lastly, Gloria talks about how anxiety, OCD, and seeing help for her disorders finally broke her free from her abusive relationship. We talked about what happened when she finally left the relationship and how anyone dealing with an abusive relationship can finally break free and reconnect with themselves.

!Trigger Warning!In this week's episode, Tamara chats with 4 lovely ladies, each who has dealt with their own mental health struggles. They each talk about their own experiences, what their illnesses looked like, what their support system or lack of support system was, and how they cope with everything that has or is happening in their lives. Some of these women have to continue to live with this for the rest of their lives, while others have found resolve. Ashley Bishop talks about being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) after being misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder (which is very common) at a very young age. She explains what BPD is; a severe mental illness with no real medication, but shared symptoms with anxiety and depression. Losing her mom, grandmother, and aunt, and being sexually assaulted, that led her to feel lost and alone. She talks about how she received her first diagnosis after trying to attempt suicide as well as the forms of therapy she's gone through. Queen Dee, from the Queen Mindset, talks about going through highs and lows in her mental health, dealing with trauma, and how that severely affected her mental health to the point where she needed to take extended time off from work as well as being diagnosed with depression and anxiety. They talk about how we're so affected by mental health and how that can affect our work which in turn makes that hard to communicate with peers and our managers. Dee has gotten to a place where she understands how she reacts to her triggers and how these experiences have thought her to be resilient.Audra Allen, a single mom of two kids speaks about her experience of getting diagnosed with Post Partum Anxiety after she had her daughter and her experience of manifesting signs of anger towards her daughter. She talks about taking a holistic approach at first, but then finally having to turn to medication. She was originally diagnosed with Post Partum Depression, which was later diagnosed as Post Partum Anxiety when she showed signs of anger. Audra talks about how it took her 4 years for her body and brain to really feel an emotional connection to her daughter and the double-edged sword feelings of not feeling like she could fully utilize the resources of a therapist without fear of them possibly wanting to take her kids away from her. Shannon Sarussi shares her story of living with chronic anxiety for years, an experience she never thought she would get out of. She talks about what anxiety felt like for her, how that was trauma that built up inside of her, and going through the trial and error of changing up her lifestyle to be in a better place today where she understands how things (like caffeine and sugar) can trigger her. She is finally in a place where she wouldn't consider herself as having anxiety. Check out the @atwonderpodcast Instagram page to see more on these incredible human beings!Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=7RLX5Y2WR78US)
