A full caseload doesn't stop the panic. Turns out abundance and scarcity can live in your chest at the exact same time. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith & we're getting into why abundance isn't a destination you finally arrive at, what actually drags you back into scarcity mode (hi, doom-scrolling therapist Facebook groups), & how to steady yourself without waiting for the fear to disappear for good.  Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

The Nancy Meyers Aesthetic: How to Get the Cozy, Collecte Look on a Budget If you love a home that feels warm, collected, welcoming, and just a little bit effortlessly fabulous, there's a good chance you love the Nancy Meyers aesthetic. Think cozy kitchens, slipcovered sofas, stacks of books, flowers on the table, soft lighting, and rooms that look like actual people live there. The good news? You don't need a Nancy Meyers movie budget to bring some of that magic into your own home. In this episode, I'm breaking down the 7 elements that create the Nancy Meyers look and sharing 10 budget-friendly ways to get the feeling in your own home without redecorating from scratch. In This Episode The 7 decorating elements that make a Nancy Meyers-inspired home feel so warm and inviting Why warm neutrals are such a big part of the aesthetic How slipcovered furniture instantly adds that relaxed, collected feeling The secret to getting that gorgeous, layered lighting Why books are basically decor in these homes How natural textures keep neutral spaces from feeling boring The simple fresh touches that make a home feel alive Why the kitchen is the true heart of the home 10 budget-friendly ways to bring the Nancy Meyers aesthetic into your own house The 7 Elements of the Nancy Meyers Aesthetic 1. A warm neutral color palette Think creamy whites, warm beiges, soft taupes, muted blues and other colors that feel calm and timeless rather than stark or trendy. 2. Slipcovered seating Slipcovers give furniture that relaxed, comfortable, come-sit-down feeling that shows up again and again in Nancy Meyers interiors. 3. Abundant, layered lighting These rooms rarely rely on one overhead light. Instead, you'll find lamps, sconces, pendants, and other little pools of light layered throughout the room. 4. Books everywhere Books aren't hidden away. They're stacked, shelved, piled on coffee tables and tucked into corners. They add color, personality and, most importantly, the feeling that someone actually lives here. 5. Natural textures Jute, sisal, linen, wood, wicker and other natural materials bring warmth and texture to all those beautiful neutrals. 6. Fresh touches Flowers, branches, bowls of fruit and other little bits of nature keep these homes from feeling too perfect or static. 7. The kitchen is the heart of the home And we're not hiding all the good stuff in cabinets. Pots, cutting boards, wooden utensils, bowls and cooking tools become part of the decor. The kitchen looks like it's ready to be used. 10 Budget-Friendly Ways to Get the Nancy Meyers Look You don't need to replace your entire house to get this feeling. Start with what you already have. 1. Slipcover your existing seating. Before buying a new sofa, see if your current one can get a whole new personality with a slipcover. 2. Layer your lighting. Add a table lamp, floor lamp or small accent lamp. The goal is to have several sources of warm, inviting light instead of relying on one overhead fixture. 3. Thrift furniture or say yes to the hand-me-downs. That piece of furniture you've always turned down because it's not exactly your style? Take another look. A coat of paint, new hardware or simply placing it in the right room can work wonders. 4. Bring out your books...and remove the dust jackets. Hardcover books without their dust jackets often have beautiful, understated covers that instantly add warmth and personality to a room. 5. Put out bowls of fruit. A big bowl of lemons, apples, oranges or whatever is in season is an inexpensive way to add color and that fresh, lived-in feeling. 6. Try a sisal or jute rug. Natural-fiber rugs add texture and warmth without requiring a complicated pattern or a big decorating budget. 7. Bring the kitchenware out of hiding. Display your cutting boards, wooden spoons, pretty bowls and favorite pots. The things you use every day can also be part of the room's personality. 8. Use mismatched white dishes at dinner. They don't have to match perfectly. A collection of simple white dishes can feel collected, relaxed and beautiful when they're mixed together. 9. Replace heavy drapes with something lighter. Try sheer, linen or linen-look curtains to let more light into the room and create that soft, easy feeling. 10. Frame botanical prints. You can find beautiful botanical artwork inexpensively, especially secondhand. A simple frame and a botanical print can bring in that classic, collected look without a major investment. The Takeaway The Nancy Meyers aesthetic isn't really about having a perfectly decorated house. It's about creating a home that feels warm, comfortable, collected and lived in. And that's the part I hope you take away from this episode. You don't have to buy all new furniture. You don't need a giant decorating budget. And you definitely don't need to turn your home into a movie set. Start with what you already have. Add a little texture. Soften the lighting. Put the books on display. Bring the pretty kitchen things out of the cabinets. Add some flowers or a bowl of fruit. A few small changes can crank up the cozy dial in a big way.

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Tessa about niching into end of life and terminal illness work as an older therapist. We talk through how to market a niche you didn't plan for, why hospice and oncologists can be both competitors and referral sources, how to find a collaborator to handle grief work with family members so you can stay in your lane, and the annoying-but-necessary reality of promoting a group when you're teaching other therapists how to run one. Tessa also opens up about what it's like to age alongside your clients, and we get into why that's an asset, not a liability, in this field.  Sponsored by Paubox & TherapyNotes®.

What happens to the way we design organizations when intelligence is no longer scarce? That is the provocative question at the heart of this conversation with Brian Solis and Dave Wright, co-authors of Infinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Business Into AI-Forward Companies. Drawing on decades of experience at the intersection of technology, strategy, innovation, and enterprise transformation, Brian and Dave challenge executives to think beyond AI adoption and productivity gains toward a much larger opportunity: rethinking how organizations create value.The conversation explores why simply layering AI onto existing workflows may leave much of its potential untapped. Organizations were largely designed around scarcity, particularly the scarcity and cost of human expertise and capacity. AI changes that assumption. Brian and Dave discuss what becomes possible when leaders stop asking only how AI can make today's work faster and begin asking what the organization could do that previously wasn't possible.A central tension throughout the episode is the difference between efficiency and reinvention. Dave shares a compelling example from IKEA that illustrates how productivity gains from AI can become the starting point for entirely new sources of value rather than simply cost reduction. Brian builds on that idea by challenging executives to examine the legacy assumptions, structures, and even “sacred cows” they may be protecting. The question is not simply where AI can be deployed, but where intelligence can be applied to rethink work, customer value, and future growth.The discussion also gets into the harder leadership questions surrounding AI transformation: employee fear, trust, learning and unlearning, resource allocation, and the pressure from boards and shareholders to demonstrate ROI. Brian and Dave explain why AI transformation cannot simply be delegated to technology teams or pursued through disconnected pilots. They explore what it takes to create enough clarity and trust for people to challenge poor uses of AI while also experimenting with fundamentally different ways of working.For CEOs and senior executives, this conversation offers a useful reframing of the AI opportunity. The advantage may not go to the organizations that deploy the most AI or generate the largest number of productivity gains. It may go to those that learn how to convert new intelligence and capacity into better workflows, new sources of value, and the ability to continually reinvent themselves.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why an AI strategy shouldn't really be about AI and what Brian and Dave believe executives should focus on instead when deciding where AI belongs in the organization.Hear why using AI to make existing work faster may capture only a fraction of its potential, and how shifting from optimization to reinvention changes the questions executives should be asking.Discover what changes when intelligence moves from scarcity toward abundance, including why organizational structures and workflows designed for the previous era may increasingly become constraints.Hear how IKEA turned AI-driven efficiency into a new source of growth, offering a powerful example of what can happen when organizations deliberately reinvest capacity rather than simply bank the savings.You'll learn why trust around AI requires more than encouraging adoption. Brian and Dave explain why people also need the freedom to challenge AI and say when it is not the right tool for the job.Explore the concept of “learning velocity” and why the ability to learn and unlearn at speed may become an increasingly important organizational capability as AI continues to evolve.Hear why disconnected AI pilots often struggle to produce meaningful enterprise ROI, and why resource allocation and executive-level direction become critical when productivity gains appear across different parts of the organization.You'll learn why traditional AI metrics can be dangerously misleading, and why measuring the performance of the entire workflow can reveal whether AI is actually creating better outcomes or merely generating more activity.Consider a provocative resource-allocation question: if AI effectively gave your organization hundreds of additional people's worth of capacity, what would you choose to do with it?Connect with Brian Solis and Dave WrightBrian Solis LinkedInDave Wright LinkedInInfinite: How Visionary Leaders Transform Today's Business Into AI-Forward CompaniesConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Step into a warm, wise, and witty conversation with Rebecca Whitman, abundance mentor, international bestselling author, Princeton honors graduate, and host of the globally top-ranked Balanced, Beautiful, and Abundant podcast, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Rebecca's work is built around a powerful truth: abundance is not just financial. It is spiritual, physical, emotional, romantic, mental, social, and financial, woven together into a life of genuine joy and freedom. Rebecca vulnerably shares the season when grief and heartbreak arrived together. Her father was dying as her marriage unraveled, while her ex-husband was suing her for spousal support. At one of her final conversations with her father, he asked her to write a book. He was buried on a Wednesday. Her divorce was finalized on a Friday. That experience became the seed of her Seven Pillars of Abundance framework. We explore how Rebecca spent years choosing emotionally unavailable men, not because she was a victim, but because she was emotionally unavailable to herself. After deleting the dating apps and giving herself a 90-day dating detox, she met Ben at a backyard party on her late father's birthday, the man she had been asking her father to help her find from the other side of the veil. Together, Allana and Rebecca explore anxious attachment, love avoidance, emotional availability, and the relationship between inner healing and outer abundance. They discuss how health, self-love, intuition, purpose, and financial freedom all contribute to a truly abundant life. We also talk about: The seven pillars of abundance and why finances come last Anxious attachment and the nervous system cost of chasing love Emotional unavailability, neediness, and control The 90-day dating detox and surrendering to what unfolds Journaling as a daily spiritual practice Body before business and health as the foundation of magnetism Feminine and masculine energy Multiple income streams and creative financial diversity Zone of genius versus excellence How a secure partnership can transform your nervous system The sacred intelligence of the body Les Brown, a childhood quote, and a son who called after six and a half years This episode is a reminder that abundance does not begin with a bank account. It begins with becoming emotionally available to yourself and tending to your inner world. Rebecca's story shows that the most magnetic version of you is not the one trying harder, but the one who has finally learned to exhale. ABOUT REBECCA Rebecca Whitman is an abundance mentor, international bestselling author, Princeton honors graduate, and host of the globally top-ranked Balanced, Beautiful, and Abundant podcast. She created the Seven Pillars of Abundance framework, helping people align their spiritual, physical, emotional, romantic, mental, social, and financial lives for greater joy, freedom, and prosperity.

Joseph is a fitting end to our Abundant Lives series because in many ways the whole series is about some of the lesser known, behind the scenes characters of the Bible, if you will. But as I have said from the beginning, they are lesser known to us not to God. And the principle from Joseph's life and really from the whole series is, if you choose to be a righteous person, if you obey God and if you are willing to accept that most of us get assigned “behind the scenes” type roles God will accomplish great things through you and you will live an abundant life.

In today's episode, I chat with Susan Saint-Rossy, LCSW, LICSW, a couples therapist who helps other couples therapists build their practices, about the nuances that make marketing to couples so different from marketing to individuals. We dig into writing to two buyers at once (who often have different agendas), why niching within a niche means describing the relational dynamic you love working with, why couples usually find you in an act of desperation rather than through a friend's referral, & why individual therapists are your best referral source. Susan's also doing a full training on this for Abundance Party members, so if you work with couples (or want to), don't miss it.    Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Episode Summary We're talking about money and abundance today, and this is such a powerful topic because the word "money" alone can bring up so much contraction, fear, shame, and emotion for people. In this episode, I'm joined by Shanna Stevens, a holistic master life coach through The Adult Chair, for a vulnerable and transformational conversation about money blocks, receiving abundance, and the unconscious beliefs that can keep us stuck. So many people are doing all the "right" things. They are visualizing, affirming, meditating, making vision boards, taking wealth consciousness courses, and trying to manifest abundance. But sometimes, no matter how much we consciously desire something, there is an unconscious belief underneath that is blocking us from receiving it. Shanna shares that she had been doing all the things to call in more money and abundance, but instead of money flowing in, she was feeling scarcity, fear, embarrassment, and stress around paying bills, buying food, and finding income. During one of our coaching calls, she vulnerably raised her hand and asked for help, and we began listening for the patterns and keywords underneath what she was saying. As we worked together, we traced her money block back to a childhood memory of being five years old and watching her mother cry as boxes of donated food and clothing were being dropped off for their family. As a child, Shanna took on the embarrassment she felt from her mother and unconsciously formed the belief that receiving abundance was embarrassing. Once we found that taproot, we were able to work with her inner child, update the old belief, and help her see the truth: her family was actually receiving abundance. It may not have looked the way the ego thought it should, but support, food, clothing, and care were coming in. After that shift, Shanna felt lighter, softer, more open, and more able to receive. Within days, money and opportunities began flowing in, including refunded fees, new clients, paid-in-full sessions, an invitation to present, and more ease in her body and energy.  Key Takeaways: The word "money" can bring up contraction, fear, shame, and triggers for many people Abundance blocks are often connected to unconscious beliefs formed in childhood Manifesting, affirmations, gratitude, and vision boards can be helpful, but they may not work if an opposite core belief is running underneath Our unconscious beliefs often create the reality we are living in now Triggers can reveal the hidden beliefs that are blocking what we want to create Owning your current reality is the first step to transformation Shanna's money block was connected to embarrassment, worthiness, and receiving As a child, Shanna took on her mother's embarrassment around receiving donated food and clothing The old belief that emerged was: "To receive abundance is embarrassing" Inner child work helps us update old programs and release beliefs that are no longer true Receiving abundance can include money, support, opportunities, love, friendship, care, and ease When an old belief shifts, the body and energy field can feel lighter, softer, and more open Money and opportunities can begin to flow more easily when the energetic block is removed Abundance does not have to feel forced or heavy. It can feel easy, aligned, and natural Resources from this Episode: Shanna Stevens Website: https://shannastevens.com The Adult Chair® Metamorphosis: https://theadultchair.com/metamorphosis The Adult Chair® Coaching Certification: https://theadultchair.com/certification   MORE MICHELLE CHALFANT Website: https://www.michellechalfant.com Membership: The Adult Chair Collective https://www.michellechalfant.com/collective  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themichellechalfant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheMichelleChalfant The Adult Chair® Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theadultchair YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Michellechalfant

You believe life is hard. You believe certain limitations are real. You may even pretend to enjoy things, fit in, or be someone you're not just to survive.So what happens when you turn that same power toward your transformation?What if you pretend you are peaceful? Abundant? Calm? Connected to God? What if you live as your higher self for one day—or even 30 days—and see what begins to change?Through breathwork, mindset shifts, faith, and intentional belief, this episode will help you release the identity that no longer serves you and practice becoming the person you feel called to be.Your mind is powerful. What you focus on expands.Stop pretending just to survive.Start practicing the person you were meant to become.

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Jo-Ann, who niches in women diagnosed later in life with ADHD, about why her marketing isn't quite matching her ideal client yet. We talk through why networking with psychiatric practices & testing psychologists is worth doubling down on since it's already working for her, why YouTube & Instagram may not be the right fit unless she genuinely loves creating content, & how to speak directly to her ideal client's daily overwhelm (aging parents, kids, & the grief of a late diagnosis) instead of getting caught up comparing herself to the bigger ADHD conversation happening online.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?

Energy abundance means different things in today's global context than it did even a decade ago. It is about expanding electricity access while meeting rising energy demand. It is about navigating geopolitical fragmentation, limited government support, and shifting development priorities. And it is about leveraging new technologies to deliver reliable power at scale. But the challenge is not just technological. It is institutional and financial. Many low- and middle-income countries face high capital costs, limited access to financing, and policy frameworks that struggle to keep pace with growing demand.  Solving this challenge is a priority for both the Center on Global Energy Policy and The Rockefeller Foundation. That's why this past spring the two organizations launched a high-level panel to advance "universal energy abundance," an idea that positions reliable, affordable energy as a cornerstone of economic growth, industrialization, and opportunity in emerging and developing economies.  So what does it take to move from energy scarcity and toward energy abundance? Can international institutions, governments, and investors come together to mobilize the scale of investment required? And how can emerging economies balance the urgency of expanding energy access with the need for affordability, reliability, and sustainability? Today on the show, we're revisiting a conversation that Jason Bordoff had back in April with Rajiv Shah, president of The Rockefeller Foundation, about the high-level panel and its goals. Rajiv has led The Rockefeller Foundation since 2017. Prior to that, during the Obama administration, he led the US Agency for International Development as its administrator. He also served on the National Security Council, at the US Department of Agriculture, and held leadership roles at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

What happens when you keep getting signs that something is no longer meant for you, but you're too afraid to make the change?In this heartfelt and deeply relatable episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson sit down with Christine Marcario, an intuitive spiritual teacher, Reiki Master, and host of the Aligned and Abundant podcast, to talk about life pivots, trusting your inner knowing, and what happens when you keep ignoring the signs.Christine shares her journey from spending 19 years as a middle school teacher to eventually stepping into spirituality, mediumship, coaching, and podcasting. Through burnout, career changes, unexpected job losses, and doors repeatedly closing, she began to recognize that spirit was guiding her toward something completely different.Together, they explore why we sometimes choose safety and familiarity over what our soul is asking for, how spirit can make the message louder when we aren't listening, and why painful experiences can ultimately become powerful redirections.From trusting your intuition and paying attention to dreams to creating more space for yourself and learning not to carry the weight of the entire world, this conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out before taking the next step.✨ What You'll Discover:Christine's journey from teaching to spiritual workWhy burnout can be a sign that you're ready for a new chapterHow choosing safety can keep you stuck in what no longer serves youWhy spirit may keep sending you signs until you listenHow unexpected endings can become powerful redirectionsWhy difficult experiences can still hold valuable lessonsHow Christine discovered her gifts in mediumship and intuitive workWhy dreams can become a doorway for spiritual messagesThe importance of creating space to hear your inner knowingHow to stop carrying things that aren't yours to carryWhy self-trust is essential when making major life changesHow asking "What isn't working?" can help create clarityWhy you don't need to know exactly what comes next✨ Want more?In the extended Patreon episode, Kelsey, Lynnsey, and Christine pull an oracle card and a rune for the collective, exploring themes of healing, heart-opening, clarity, success, and what comes after the storm.

This message, looking at a difficult story in Genesis 38, is an encouragement to all who are going through unjust and unprovoked suffering. Abundant life and abundant blessings come when we faithfully endure. And, while we know Tamar's deception is not from God, her faithfulness to submit to her situation and to make the best of some really hard situations was.

You just found out you're pregnant & your second emotion is panic about your practice. Nobody tells you about the business side of this & there is a lot to figure out. In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Rebecca Smith. Four kids between us, both in private practice.

In today's episode, I join Rebecca Whitman, magnetic abundance mentor, keynote speaker, and host of the globally ranked Balanced, Beautiful & Abundant podcast, for a conversation about building success without sacrificing your values. We discuss why long-term relationships matter more than short-term wins, how to recognize toxic business partnerships, and why kindness remains a competitive advantage. I also share lessons on overcoming the fear of rejection, asking for help with confidence, practicing gratitude and forgiveness, and managing the ego when emotions take over. Along the way, I explain how simple daily habits can create lasting happiness, stronger relationships, and a more abundant life.

These podcast sessions are offered as an introduction and ongoing support. Deeper subconscious journeys and structured programs are available inside the Hypnosis with Joseph app, where you can begin with free starter sessions and get day, sleep, 4 hour sleep versions too:www.HypnosisWithJoseph.app  Use this powerful Day Hypnosis to become more open and available to being recognized, appreciated and abundantly compensated. Through profound relaxation, imagination and direct and indirect subconscious suggestions, this hypnosis helps you release old patterns of feeling overlooked or undervalued and become someone who feels safe being visible, deeply valued and fully open to receiving. Inspired by Neville Goddard's principle of feeling the wish fulfilled, you will connect with the transformed version of you for whom recognition, appreciation and abundant compensation already feel natural. Your conscious and unconscious mind can then begin supporting new beliefs, feelings, behaviours and inspired actions that reflect this fulfilled outcome. Abundant compensation means far more than money. It can arrive through financial reward, meaningful opportunities, respect, support, reciprocal relationships, inspired ideas, greater freedom and life returning the value you offer in deeply rewarding ways. Listen regularly during the day or whenever you can safely relax. This Day Hypnosis will gently return you to full waking awareness, feeling refreshed, empowered and ready to carry the transformation into your life.  

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Community member Heather, who's three years into private practice, full at 25-27 clients a week, but working harder than she wants to. We dig into why increasing her private pay visibility, raising her rate, & taking insurance off her website will move the needle way more than hiring a clinician, subleasing office space, or building a course. We also talk about sliding scale and why it's worth sitting with what you actually want for your practice instead of what you think you "should" want.   Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
