In this conversation, Scarlett and Candice explore what it truly means to create an abundant life, one where money becomes a tool for purpose and possibility, not pressure. They discuss how shifting your beliefs, managing your finances consciously, and reclaiming your power can open the door to freedom, fulfillment, and joy in both life and business. In this episode, you'll hear about:Scarlett's journey from perfectionism and burnout to alignment and abundanceHow early money beliefs shape your current relationship with financesThe three key steps to becoming an “Abundant Alchemist”The difference between the “Relentless Reacher” and “Volatile Visionary” money typesWhy managing your money intentionally creates emotional peaceHow manifestation and strategy work hand in handPractical ways to reclaim your power and use money to design your dream life Creating an abundant life is possible for everyone, no matter where you're starting from. When you reclaim your power, align your mindset, and use your money as a tool for purpose, you can begin living the life you love. Starting today! About Scarlett:Scarlett, aka The Biz Hippie, helps coaches master money and own their worth so they can be fully supported by the work they love! Using a combination of tangible money management strategies and a variety of powerful coaching techniques, Scarlett helps her clients transform their mindset and relationship to money and strategically make their vision happen.Scarlett didn't always live life this way. At the age of 18, Scarlett had already begun her professional journey and was managing restaurants and pursuing a degree in Business Management, Accounting, and Finance. Her life was all business all the time, despite having horrible relationships (with both people and money), struggles with depression, head-to-toe eczema, and frequent migraines. It took a cannabis-induced near-death experience to shake her to her core and start a slow crawl from rock bottom.Scarlett swung her pendulum from full business mode to total hippie; becoming a life coach, yoga instructor, and reiki practitioner. It was when a coach friend of hers was struggling with money that she was inspired to bring together her experience, skills, and degree to support her!! This was the genesis of Empowered Abundance, a program that helps coaches and business leaders transition into their next level of abundance with all the tools they need to make conscious and aligned decisions.Scarlett is a certified coach through the World Coach Institute and a Level 2 Enlifted Coach. On a personal level, she is a total hippie and loves spending time barefoot outside, vibing with her family in drum circles, and using plant medicine in the jungle.Website: https://thebizhippie.comFree 30 Minute Connection Call: https://thebizhippie.com/activationLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scarlett-stanhopeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/scarlett.stanhope/-----If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor, BetterHelp.Visit https://betterhelp.com/candicesnyder for a 10% discount on your first month of therapy.*This is a paid promotionIf you are in the United States and in crisis, or any other person may be in danger -Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Dial 988-----Connect with Candice Snyder!Website: https://www.podpage.com/passion-purpose-and-possibilities-1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/candicebsnyder?_rdrPassion, Purpose, and Possibilities Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passionpurposeandpossibilitiescommunity/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passionpurposepossibilities/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicesnyder/Shop For A Cause With Gifts That Give Back to Nonprofits: https://thekindnesscause.com/Fall In Love With Artists And Experience Joy And Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@movenartrelaxationClick this link to receive your FREE TRIAL to The Greenhouse Communityhttps://www.thegreenhousecommunity.com/checkout/the-greenhouse-membership?affiliate_code=11e889

Since Democrats decided to shut down the government over Affordable Care Act subsidies, now's a good time for a deep dive into what they're even talking about. John Hopkins professor Dr. Ge Bai walks us through the ACA subsidies, the hidden mechanics behind the Affordable Care Act, and its illusion of "affordability." Dr. Bai shows us how regulations and subsidies have quietly reshaped the healthcare market - and how the free market can make it work for patients again. Ge Bai, PhD, CPA is a Professor of Accounting at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Professor of Health Policy & Management (joint) at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. An expert on health care accounting, finance, and policy, Dr. Bai has testified before the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate HELP Committee, written for the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, and published her studies in leading academic journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Health Affairs.
