Welcome to Getting Real, where we dive deep into the real, raw, and sometimes messy truths about building wealth, freedom, and a life aligned with your soul. I'm your host, Monick Halm. Today, we're exploring something close to my heart—legacy wealth.When you hear the word legacy, what comes up for you? Maybe it feels distant—something for later, when you have more money or more time. But here's the truth: legacy isn't just what you leave behind—it's how you live today. It's the financial freedom you create for yourself and others, the values you embody, the love, wisdom, and opportunities you pass on right now.This episode is about building legacy wealth in a feminine, aligned way—with heart, values, and purpose. The world doesn't just need more wealthy people. It needs people with wealth and wisdom. And when women own their power, they uplift everyone around them.I want to share a story. Years ago, a speaker at an event asked us to imagine three generations from now—our great-great-grandchildren sitting around a table, talking about us. What would they say? Would they talk about the house you left them—or the courage you modeled? The bank accounts—or the belief you passed down that they could do anything?That hit home for me. Legacy isn't just about numbers. It's about values. Yes, we want to close the wealth gap and build financial freedom, but it's also about why we do it.Wealth without purpose can disappear. But wealth infused with why—with meaning—can last generations. For me, legacy is showing my children, and every woman I work with, that financial freedom is possible. Joy is our birthright. Power is something we can claim and share.Over the next decade, $30 trillion will transfer into the hands of women. That's a staggering number! To put it in perspective:1 million seconds = 12 days1 billion seconds = 31 years1 trillion seconds = 31,688 yearsWe're talking 30 trillion dollars. But wealth without confidence, without conversations, without support, often goes unused or is lost.I've worked with women like Sarah, who inherited money but was paralyzed by fear because no one taught her how to manage it. She sat on it, afraid to invest, afraid to grow it. Contrast that with Julia, who started with little, learned to invest, and created financial freedom—teaching her kids to do the same. That's the power of these conversations.Assets: Real estate, businesses, investments that grow over time. These income streams flow with or without you.Education: This is the multiplier. Pass down knowledge, not just money. Teach your kids and your community how to steward wealth. Money without wisdom fades.Impact: Where your heart meets your wealth. What causes light you up? Legacy wealth isn't just about accumulating—it's about amplifying. Money, like power, amplifies who you already are. As Mother Teresa said, “It takes a checkbook to change the world.”Legacy building starts now. You don't need everything figured out. You just need to take one small step today. Action breeds confidence.For me, that first step was saying yes to buying my first property—even though it was scary. I wasn't taught about passive income or investing. But I bought a multi-unit property in LA, lived in one unit, and rented out the others. That was my first asset, and it grew from there.I learned more, scaled up with my husband, and eventually started Real Estate Investor Goddesses to help other women create legacies too. Empowering women creates ripple effects—because when a woman is empowered, she uplifts her family, community, and the world.What's your next step to building your legacy? Whether it's learning more about assets, education, or impact—start today.If this conversation has sparked something in you and you're ready to stop waiting, I invite you to a Millionaire Strategy Session with me. Let's map out a personalized plan for your wealth and impact—a plan that feels doable and aligned. It's my gift to you.

Instead, she introduces a more aligned, intuitive path to wealth—one that honors your time, energy, and femininity. Drawing from Robert Kiyosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant framework, she breaks down each quadrant (Employee, Self-Employed, Business Owner, Investor) and explains why shifting from the left side (E and S) to the right side (B and I) is the key to building a life of ease, freedom, and sovereignty.You'll learn:What the Cash Flow Quadrant really is—and why most people are stuck in the high-tax, low-control side.How to identify which quadrant you're currently operating from and what it means for your financial future.The seven streams of income every millionaire builds (and how you can too).How to create multiple legs under your financial table—so your stability doesn't collapse if one stream disappears.The difference between active and passive income, and how to intentionally shift toward income that works even when you don't.This episode is Financial Literacy 2.0—with soul.

Health & Wealth: Why Real Estate Investors Must Prioritize Their Well-BeingIntroduction: Why Health Matters for InvestorsWelcome to Getting Real! I'm Monick Halm, founder of Real Estate Investor Goddesses, and today we're diving into a crucial but often overlooked topic—health.As real estate investors and entrepreneurs, we focus on deals, financial growth, and business success, but without good health, none of that matters. After spending more time than I wanted in hospitals and ERs last year, I realized that if I wasn't healthy enough to work, there would be no more deals.That's why I'm thrilled to have Sarah Bartell, a functional medicine nutritionist, with us today to discuss gut health, hormone balance, stress management, and practical steps for optimizing our well-being.Sarah is a board-certified nutritionist with a Master's in Functional Medicine and Nutrition. She specializes in digestion, hormones, energy, and weight balance using personalized lab testing, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions. She has worked with corporate wellness programs and is a former Ironman and ultramarathon athlete.Sarah explains that high-achieving women—investors, executives, and entrepreneurs—often experience unexpected health challenges in their 30s and 40s.

How I Ended Up Owning a War Zone PropertyThis was one of my first multifamily investments. I was looking for a C-class property (working-class area) with value-add potential—a place I could renovate and improve.The property was in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in an area once called “The War Zone”—a huge red flag I ignored because:✅ A new Starbucks and Planet Fitness had been built nearby.✅ A neighboring apartment building had been renovated and was getting higher rents.✅ It was across from a major hospital, suggesting potential tenants.On paper, it looked like an up-and-coming area. In reality, I had stepped into a nightmare.

Introduction: The Reality of Real Estate InvestingWelcome to Getting Real! I'm Monick Halm, founder of Real Estate Investor Goddesses, and today, I'm sharing how I lost $25,000 in a Ponzi scheme—and the eight critical lessons you can learn from my mistake.You often see the glamorous side of real estate investing—big checks, beautiful properties—but what you rarely hear about are the failures, setbacks, and costly lessons. My goal today is to help you avoid the mistakes I made.I was introduced to Shamane Van Gundy, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Mobile Homes,” by two happy investors who vouched for her. She had a compelling success story and had previously delivered returns to investors.I invited her onto my Real Estate Investor Goddesses Podcast and later included her in a book project. Over time, she spoke at my events and seemed credible and successful.In 2020, I was launching a women-led real estate fund and considered including her. Before involving other investors, I decided to test her model by investing $25,000 in one of her mobile home deals.

Investors who had trusted me—because I trusted her—were hurt. They lost money.The fallout was devastating. Investors were angry, lawsuits were filed, and I was attacked online. I felt ashamed, scared, and I wanted to hide. I wanted to quit.But then, two mentors gave me life-changing advice:
