Empowered Way Podcast

Hello Empowered Wayers - When I was growing up, I loved to read. Adventure, mysteries, and historical fiction were my favorites. Now that I am a Woman’s Wealth Coach, my bookshelves are filled with books about abundance, energy, and prosperity. One of my favorite books is “A Happy Pocket Full of Money” by David Cameron Gikandi. Please take a moment and listen to today’s podcast. I hope you can fee...

Hello Dear Ones! Today we explore how we view the world through the narrow slice of our reality. It’s almost as if everyone is living from inside their bubble. It’s a big topic and one that holds true for every person on the planet. Allow me to share my thoughts and perhaps you will gain a new appreciation for a larger view. The Elephant and the Blind Men A parable that is as old as time describes...

Hello Empowered Wayers! Stories are the latest marketing technique. “Tell a story that hooks your reader,” advises one popular marketer. “Your buyer is looking for an emotional reason to buy. A story gives it to them.” All true statements, but why do stories work so well? Is it because we’re gullible and easily drawn into the message? That may be true, but there are other reasons based on neurolog...

Hello Dear Readers! I ignored my presence for many years , always thinking that I would succeed if I just pushed harder, worked longer, or showed up like the guys around me. Little did I realize that I had bought into a system designed by men for men to succeed. Women who tried to join the club were not encouraged (or allowed into the inner sanctum), no matter how hard we tried or how good we were...

Hello Empowered Wayers: I love to tell stories to teach, illustrate, and educate. This short story is fiction, but the lessons taught about Reality Creation apply to all of us. Please leave a comment at the end and share your favorite bit of the story. I was sitting at the counter, waiting for my table. It’s fairly empty, but people are trickling in. A young woman in her late 20’s walks in with he...

Hello Empowered Wayers! This might be controversial, but wealth isn't about money. * It isn't your bank account. * It isn't your tax bracket. * Wealth isn't your income potential or your degree. We have taken the concept of wealth and narrowed it to money. One day, I was curious and looked up the origins of the word, "wealth." I was stunned by what I discovered. The word "wealth" comes from an Old...

Hello Empowered Wayers! About 800 years ago, the Sufi Poet, Rumi, began writing about love, loss, and life. His poetry is timeless and speaks to the common thread of humanity across time and space. Another place that also speaks to the common thread of humanity is the gothic masterpiece, Notre Dame de Chartres Cathedral, located in Chartres, France. The current building was finished in 1260, about...

Hello Beautiful Wayers! When I was in middle school, I rode the bus everyday. In Texas, school started in August and the buses didn’t have air conditioning. By the time we arrived at school, everyone was hot, cranky, and ready to move inside to cool off. Except for my nemesis - Becky. She took great delight in tormenting me about my nerdy glasses, my frizzy hair, and my crooked teeth. I dreaded ri...

Hello Empowered Wayers! The difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and lightning. - Mark Twain Word choice is the craft of the writer and storyteller. But how do you know which word to use when? It helps to know the etymology or the study of the origin of words. I know that when I began my Wealth Coaching business, I became intereste...

Hello Empowered Wayers! Being present and aware of yourself is always available, but the distractions of our lives cause amnesia. When you are ensnared in the worries of your world, you forget who you really are. When all of your thoughts focus on perceived problems and worry is your constant companion, amnesia takes over. Your attention is directed outside of yourself, and your intention is to so...

Hello Empowered Wayers - I have met so many wonderful writers and spiritual seekers. As I reveal my journey to others, it attracts like-minded people. And the deeper connections are made. That happened with Cheryl Carina, the author of Lotus Empress . I followed her newsletter and she followed mine. We began commenting and reposting each other’s content, and that’s when I knew we had to connect. T...

Hello Empowered Wayers! I came across this quote while looking for something else. As soon as I read it, my heart leaped in recognition and I paused, feeling the truth of the words. Do you feel that truth? Repeat the words to yourself and notice any feeling of familiarity. Notice if you nod your head or get quiet for a moment. Those are signs of soul recognition. Remember when… Remember when you w...

Hello Empowered Wayers! I am a Women’s Wealth Coach and Financial Planner. I chose this career path to help women, because of my own experiences in wealth building and financial planning. My finances weren’t pretty. Even though I made a great living from practicing law, I never seemed to have enough. There was always another bill to pay or vacation to plan. We were living the high life of advanced...

Dear Empowered Wayers: This week is a short share, because my daughter just got married! I am still feeling all the emotions from the wedding, but today, another one took center stage. And it surprised me. Please take a moment and listen. Then remember when you have felt strong emotions because Life threw you a curve. * How did you handle it? * What tips can you share? * Did you learn from the exp...

Hello Empowered Wayers! There is a shift in the world that is especially powerful for women. We have survived by relying on masculine energy. When we are goal-driven, outer-focused, and linear in our thinking, masculine energy is the dominant force. It’s necessary for survival in a world with constant threats and obstacles. Think of climbing a mountain. You plan, strategize, and implement the plan...

Hello Empowered Wayers! Like most writers, I was an avid reader growing up. I used to escape to my hidden hideout to read the next Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew adventure. My secret place was about 10 feet off the ground, in the nook of two branches of the old oak tree in our back yard. It was my spot — the launching pad of imagination, mystery, and transformation. That small place became my magic carp...

Hello Empowered Wayers - Money is the cause of pain, suffering, angst, and anger. But is it really Money’s fault? From earliest childhood, you were trained to see money as something outside of you — a goal to reach so you could have what you want. * “Do all your chores and you will receive your allowance.” * “We can’t afford that — it’s too expensive.” * “Why can’t we go on vacation like my best f...

Hello Empowered Wayers! When I wrote The Money Tree , my goal was to reveal the spiritual side of money and wealth. I wrote the story as a parable, because the lessons embedded in the story apply to anyone who struggles with money. My hope is that as you read about Camille, the young woman who is trapped by her anxiety and worries, you may see yourself in her journey. As Camille slowly learns how...

Hello Empowered Wayers - Travel is my magical elixir, the space I step into to awaken awareness and experience transformation. The change in scenery, culture, and energy awakens new awareness in me. The stories I tell myself about my past, the mistakes I made, and who I am now do not survive when I travel. Instead, I find myself being challenged to do the simple things, like ordering lunch in a la...

Hello Dear Ones: I have been traveling for the last several weeks. As I re-enter my normal reality, I am amused at myself. I have moved through time and space for thousands of miles, only to return home and find that I have changed. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” -Anonymous Travel is my way to experience a book of adventures, one step and passport stamp at a...

Dearest Empowered Wayers: When you define “wealth” as what you possess, own, or your bank balance, you have confined yourself to poverty thinking. The word “wealth” comes from the Old English word, “weal,” which means well-being. The concept of wealth in today’s world has narrowed from an expansive state of wholeness to a limiting lens of acquisition and possession. The result is poverty thinking,...

Hello Dearest - In my last newsletter, I showed you the difference between masculine and feminine energy related to money and wealth. It’s important to know which energy you are in, because you may be creating something you don’t want. Awareness leads you to make a difference choice in the moment. We have been trained to follow the formula of Do - Have - Be, which has created competition, wealth g...

Dear Empowered Wayers - We live in a world based on duality. Hot/cold, up/down, in/out. The energy of duality is the foundation of life - the dance of the sun and moon. The shifting of spring into summer as the Earth adjusts to its new place in her orbit around the sun. Have you ever wondered if duality applies to money, wealth and abundance? As a Wealth Coach, I see these concepts differently - f...

Hello Empowered Wayers! Today, I talk about one of my favorite subjects - The Enneagram. You may have read about it or heard it mentioned online, but do you know how it can help you? What is the Enneagram? It’s an ancient system of nine personality archetypes that identify human motivation and behavior. It has exploded in popularity in recent years, as more people have discovered how useful it is...
