Breaking Free from Money Chains - Jessica Hammock - Episode 120
Trauma is not only caused by things like car accidents and bad breakups. Jessica “Vibrant” Hammock teaches that trauma can be caused by anything where we had an expectation and what actually happened did not meet our expectations.  Therefore, anytime we have a money experience that doesn’t meet our expectations we may have a trauma response and store it in our bodies. This often appears as headaches, anxiety, depression, stress, and more. In this episode, Jessica teaches us how to begin to rewire our thinking around money. She encourages us to give ourselves permission to recognize where we are, change our behaviors, and learn a new story. Join us! "I always believe that there's this grace period for us when we learn new information to begin to walk it out... You don't have to fix it all today." -Jessica "Vibrant" Hammock About Jessica Hammock Jessica Hammock is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Certified Trauma Specialist, Emotional Mastery Coach, Speaker and Author.

I have exactly what it takes to earn unlimited amounts of money for all that I desire." -Jessica Hammock Costumes Jessica’s focus is helping people to break free from their money chains. She suggested a prisoner costume for our recording and I loved the opportunity to create a look I hadn’t done before. More at moneyheartshow.com.

After 20 years of work Sarah Leslie had a very high paying career doing something she was really good at… but it was killing her. The job was so intense that she was literally sleeping with her cell phone in the bed so she wouldn’t miss any work related calls. People were starting to comment that she was losing weight and turning pale. One day during the final rest pose of a yoga class, lying there in the dark with about 50 other people, she started crying uncontrollably. That was totally out of character and it was enough to finally move her to action. When she got up from that mat she knew she had to make a change and resigned from her job the very next day. Sarah is now an Identity Artist who helps highly motivated individuals become strategically liberated CEO over their whole lives, including the way they create money. In addition to sharing her story, in this episode Sarah reveals the underlying causes of why we get stuck in our money beliefs and how we can start to break free. "Money is just paper.

Service Without Sacrifice - Linda-Ann Stewart - Episode 115
Jan 12 2023
Service Without Sacrifice - Linda-Ann Stewart - Episode 115
Many of us, especially women, are taught that in order to serve we must sacrifice something precious to us. Frequently, the sacrifice we make is our own well being. We sacrifice our income, our physical health, and our and mental health to be what we believe to be the most helpful and the most useful person possible. For years Linda-Ann Stewart did exactly that. She volunteered regularly and helped out with every event until her health took a turn for the worst and she was forced to learn to say “no”. As she practiced saying no she made some key discoveries about being of service versus giving a gift. Most importantly that service doesn’t have to be for free and that it’s incredibly hard to give when your energy and finances are low. In this episode Linda-Ann shares her story and we discuss how value, priorities, feeling indebted, and feelings of  resentment all play into this theme. Linda-Ann does a wonderful job of teaching us where to draw the line, creative ways to say no with confidence and kindness, and how to serve without sacrifice. "Service is different than a gift." -Linda-Ann Stewart About Linda-Ann Stewart As a focus coach, hypnotherapist, speaker and writer, Linda-Ann Stewart works with women entrepreneurs and small business owners who have gotten stuck and distracted by shiny objects. She empowers them to focus, master their mindset and manage their priorities, so they manifest greater prosperity, well being and freedom. She opened her private hypnotherapy practice in 1990, a few years after moving to Sedona, Arizona. A dozen years ago, she transitioned her business to coaching women to be more effective, efficient and productive. Over 300 of her articles on mindset, motivation, and empowerment have been published in magazines, newsletters and online. Many can be found on her website, and her Monthly Coaching Tips videos can be found on her YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/LindaAnnStewart  Get a free gift and book a consultation on Linda-Ann’s website: http://www.Linda-AnnStewart.com Money Mantra: "When I'm being of service, I accept an equitable exchange of energy or reward that benefits both sides." -Linda-Ann Stewart Costumes Linda-Ann and I are both big fans of Renaissance festivals. She suggested wearing chainmail we’d each gotten at a faire along with some matching garb. The hardest part for me was choosing which chainmail pieces to wear! More at moneyheartshow.com.

Taking the Risk - Jennifer Vellenga - Episode 114
Not too long ago Jen Vellenga (Jen V) and Jennifer Rettele-Thomas (JRT) started a company dedicated to helping women speak with presence as a side hustle. Then after a few months, they decided to take a big risk. They chose to resign from their steady, stable, university jobs and make their side hustle their main gig. In this episode, Jen V shares what it was like to take such a risk (yes, there was last minute panicking involved) and how they knew it would be worth it.

When she told me about her “Perfection is Overrated” t-shirt I decided to use that as the costume theme for this episode. Then, because irony loves me, I forgot to take a pic while in costume and had to pull a screenshot from our video recording. Genius.

In her Reiki practice Devin teaches that the spirt world loves joy and playful energy.

You Don't Have to Go It Alone - Anna Roszak - Episode 105
As Anna Roszak was listening to Episode 082 of MoneyHeart, Recovering from a Money Fight, she realized not enough people were speaking about emotional and financial abuse. In that episode my guest, Stephen Finney, recommended that rather than blame your partner for all the money problems, start by taking at least 1% ownership of the problem. Excellent advice. And he included one caveat which was… not if you’re in an abusive relationship. Anna was so glad we brought that up because when she was in an abusive relationship she was blaming herself all the time. This realization sparked her to reach out to me and ask if we could record an episode about her experience in hopes that we may shed some light on this issue, help others to recognize their situation, and get help on the path to recovery. In this episode, Anna shares her experience of emotional and financial abuse. It is different from many well known abuse cases because her husband never hit her. There was no physical abuse so for years she didn’t realize there was a problem. This is very common. She explains what happened, what the clues were, how she got help, and what you can do if you notice a friend who might be in a similar situation. I’m so grateful to Anna for being brave enough to share her story in support of the greater good. “I didn’t know I was in an abusive relationship until I was out of it for years.” - Anna Roszak About Anna Roszak Anna Roszak is the founder and director of DesignShack, a web and graphic design business based in Glasgow, Scotland.

From Employee to Entrepreneur - SJ Barakony - Episode 104
Building an entrepreneur mindset typically doesn’t happen overnight. In this episode SJ Barakony shares his journey of slowly transitioning from full-time employee to full-time entrepreneur. It wasn’t just a job switch. As he tested the entrepreneurial waters with a side-hustle his mindset started to transition and lead him to where he is today; now calling himself The Education Sherpa. Join us as we discuss the growth that happens as one embraces being an entrepreneur and what it’s like to see life through the eyes of a business owner rather than the eyes of an employee. SJ says that truly happens when we become a producer of value instead of a consumer of resources. “Have the courage and the heart, but also keep the discerning mind, too. Have that social circle around you that will be champions and encouragers.” - SJ Barakony About SJ Barakony SJ Barakony, the Education Sherpa, is a restless entrepreneurial spirit who is involved in multiple ventures, totally self-employed, and joyful to have so much agency and autonomy.

Money = Silver." - SJ Barakony Costumes SJ’s title is The Education Sherpa so I decided to play with the Sherpa theme. After a bit of googling for inspiration I put together a costume representing those amazing guides who lead people up Mt. Everest.
