This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with award-winning teacher, researcher and best-selling author, Cassie Holmes.  Cassie Mogilner Holmes is a chaired professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management, an award-winning teacher and researcher on time and happiness, and bestselling author of Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. Cassie's research examines such questions as how focusing on time (rather than money) increases happiness, how the meaning of happiness changes over the course of one's lifetime, and how much happiness people enjoy from extraordinary versus ordinary experiences. Across these inquiries, her findings highlight the joy that stems from interpersonal connection and paying attention to the present moment. In our conversation, we explore just this. And Cassie provides tools and insights to help us identify what matters to us so we can experience more joy in the everyday.   Find More From Cassie:  https://www.cassiemholmes.com/ Get the book - Happier Hour   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

Today, I'm re-sharing my conversation from 2023 with Dr. Kristen Neff on the power of self-compassion. Particularly during stressful and heavy times, self-compassion is such an important concept to practice - it provides relief to those of us who feel like we're going through it alone, and it also helps us feel validated and seen - which is so much of what we're really looking for.    I hope this conversation is helpful, wherever you're at and whatever you're going through. We're all in this together.    Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself.  In June 2021, she published ​Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive​, which is a must-read for all women.   Visit Dr. Kristin Neff's website (selfcompassion.org) Follow Dr. Kristin Neff on Instagram  Follow Dr. Kristin Neff on Facebook Follow Dr. Kristin Neff on Twitter Get a copy of her most recent book: Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive​ And her book: Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

This week, I'm so excited to have my friend Jen Piala back on the show. Jen is a Financial Abundance coach and a Certified Mindset Coach.  Jen helps women create a simple plan to help them stop worrying about money. Having come from a place of lack, she recognized she wanted more from life and wanted a life of abundance. Jen took the time to create and actually live a life of abundance. She is thrilled to be able to bring this work to other women so they too can start creating the life they want to be living instead of thinking ‘this is just how it is'. We talk about why its so important to focus on the things that are in our control, what abundance looks like and how we bridge the gap from scarcity to abundance and the power of Fact checking our beliefs.    Find More From Jen:  Listen to Jen's Podcast: Living Your Abundant Life Instagram Join Jen's Facebook Group -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

Today, I thought it would be helpful re-air an episode that I did over 2 years ago on our struggles with productivity.  In it, I talk about the internal and external pressures that so many of us feel and how we can form an identity around getting things done. I talk about where we learned this, how it might be serving us (because it does serve a purpose in our lives), and what we can do about it if we want to break the cycle and find more balance in our everyday.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- podcast host and business coach for women. Her work centers around helping women increase their self-worth, confidence, and assertiveness by rewiring beliefs about themselves, the world and those around them. Talia believes that once women heal the "not enoughness” they often feel inside, they can finally be free to pursue the life and success they deserve.    We talk a lot about the importance of understanding and identifying our needs beyond just physiological (so important as women) and how they show up in our relationships – not only with others but also with money and ourselves.   Find More from Talia:  https://www.instagram.com/taliabombola/ https://taliabombola.com/ https://www.therapywithtalia.com/   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with Kristen Ragusin, author of the book 'The End of Scarcity – The Dawn of the New Abundant World'.  Kristen's book teaches us about the flaws in our current belief system around money, and how we can change our beliefs to unlock the abundance that is already all around us. As a society we've been conditioned to have beliefs about money that are meant to control us and keep us feeling a sense of scarcity. And we often just accept it as fact without even questioning it. Kristen encourages us all to know that we are all already born with wealth in the form of creativity, passion, and joy.   Find more from Kristen:  Get Kristen's book Kristen's website: https://www.kristenragusin.com/the-end-of-scarcity   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

This week on the podcast, I'm sharing my conversation with Abby Green, co-host of the HERself Podcast, where she talks about the real challenges and triumphs women and mothers face. Abby Green is a type A woman that loves nothing more than a finished to-do list and a tidy house. This felt DOABLE until her second child joined the mix. All of the sudden she was overwhelmed, frustrated, and her Achiever heart was breaking as she felt like she was just scraping by in every area of life. This launched her into her own self-improvement journey. She had to learn what she could let go of, where she needed her partner to step up, and she knew she needed help in ALL the places (think therapy, life and business coaching, and even hiring out the laundry!). Now that her feet are more firmly planted on the ground, she is here to share her journey in order to help other women navigate theirs.   Find More From Abby:  Podcast: https://www.herselfpodcast.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/abbyrosegreen/   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?

This week, I'm joined by Amanda Clayman, a therapist turned financial wellness and relationship coach who focuses her work on the intrinsic connection between money and mental health. Amanda's 30 years of experience in the field allows her to dive into some of the thorniest, most personal dilemmas we face, in order to bring compassionate clarity to the conversation.   Amanda is a clinician, coach and speaker specializing in money issues. She entered the mental health field with a unique focus: the role of money in people's lives. Her journey into this niche began in her 20s when she noticed how deeply emotional her relationship with money was. Financial challenges she faced were more about underlying emotional wounds than mere poor financial decisions. As she delved into therapy for herself, she realized that simply understanding these emotional roots wasn't enough to change her behavior, it required dedicated focus and effort. Determined to transform these insights into healthier financial behaviors, Amanda questioned why the intersection of finance and emotional health wasn't more widely addressed. This sparked a passion within her to help others navigate the same path. She found herself compelled to continuously explore and work in this area, aiming to illuminate the connection between money and emotional well-being for her clients.   Find More from Amanda:  Her Website: https://amandaclayman.com/ Emotional Inve$tment Podcast: https://www.audible.com/pd/Emotional-Investment-Audiobook/B0CYN8HKKP   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you interested in working 1:1 with me?
