I’m in the process of putting the final touches on the Live Wealthy Planner! I’ve been working on this planner for a while because I’ve found it really difficult to find one that meets all of my needs, and after years of coaching clients around financial freedom, I decided this would be the tool my clients have been missing.
If you need help with choosing goals and going deep into the planning, I can’t wait for you to get your hands on the Live Wealthy Planner. It’ll help you get deeply connected with your goals, get specific on what you want to achieve, and experience the benefits of this work beyond just the cash you have in the bank.
Tune in this week to discover what the Live Wealthy planner is all about, and how it’s going to help you achieve your financial freedom. I’ve designed this planner to put you in the best possible position to actually get things done, using habit tracking, goal setting, following through, and understanding your thoughts throughout all of it.

I recently discovered something that’s changed my life, so I know it’s going to help so many of you as well. I had to be willing to look at a money habit that I’ve been avoiding for a while now: my spending. I’ve struggled with my spending my whole adult life. Despite my income increasing over the past 20 years, I still felt like I couldn’t get ahead.
How many of you believe that when you’re earning more, your money problems will just disappear? I know I did, and I often speak to women earning six figures who think the same. We think we need to spend less, but the truth is, it isn’t necessarily about the numbers, or even avoiding spending more than you earn. It’s about what you want to create.
Tune in this week to discover the truth about overspending. I’ve spoken about spending and overspending before, but I recently had some deeper insights into this area. So I’m sharing a new way to calculate if you’re overspending and what to do if you’ve been ignoring your spending for fear of what you might uncover.

Today, we’re reprising a really powerful episode of the podcast. Some of you are newer here and there is an important message that you need to hear: let it be simple! As physicians, our super high-achieving brains love to make things complicated. This is completely normal, but it blocks us in so many ways.
Thinking back to college, I took physical chemistry, and I found it incredibly complicated. Perpetuating the thought that it was complicated really stopped me from moving forward and progressing with the work - this happens in so many areas of our lives. So, how do we allow ourselves to just let things be simple? Well, listen in to find out.
Tune in this week because I’m sharing why we complicate so many things, especially money, and I’m giving you my tips for simplifying anything you’re dealing with. I’m showing you how to decide for yourself what simplicity looks like for you, and how doing this work will allow you to digest and deal with anything that you’re currently struggling with.

I was recently at the Financial Freedom Through Real Estate Conference in Los Angeles, also known as PIMDCON 2022, curated by Passive Income MD, Peter Kim. At this conference, I learned a lot about the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded people with a growth mindset, so that’s what we’re talking about today.
I love being around people like this, but I know it’s not quite the norm. When people are just starting on their personal development journey, they tell me they feel lonely because not everyone in their life relates to their goals. This is totally normal, but when we’re around people who are willing to challenge themselves to grow and show up as the best version of themselves, everything changes.
Conferences like this are a great way to meet like-minded people, but in this episode, I’m sharing some of the other amazing ways you can build a community around you, full of people who are committed to their growth and can help you accelerate yours.

For today’s episode, I have a very special guest: Dr. Faryal Michaud. We’ve been friends for some time, and she has a story to share that we all need to hear. This is the story of Mahsa Amini, who you might have heard of, who tragically died after being arrested by Iran’s “morality police” for wearing her head covering (hijab) incorrectly.
This story is important not just for the women of Iran, but for people all over the world. Dr. Faryal Michaud going over the details of what happened, and discussing why what’s been happening in Iran is something we need to know about, and why the people of Iran want us to have these conversations.
As women in a relatively free country, we need to understand the struggles women face in other parts of the world. Despite setbacks we’ve had in the USA, we have a level of rights and safety that many other countries don’t, so tune in for this opportunity to discuss, learn, and understand why these conversations are so important.

Are you aware of the role that all-or-none thinking is playing in your life? As humans, our brains want a sense of certainty in order for us to feel safe, so when we look around, we like to label people we see as either good or bad, right or wrong, rich or poor, confident or shy, and so on.
However, we don’t live in absolutes. That’s not how the world works. There’s gradient and nuance in between every extreme, so this week I’m taking a deep dive into all-or-none thinking, why we default to thinking this way, and what you can do about changing it.
Tune in this week to discover how all-or-none thinking is showing up in your life right now, and how different things could be if you could drop this thought habit. I’m showing you why creating unshakable self-confidence doesn’t mean you feel confident 100% of the time, and I’m sharing how to create confidence without an absolute all-or-none mentality.

What You'll Learn from this Episode:
- What all-or-none thinking is and how to spot it showing up in your life.
- How we’re trained from an early age to think of people, situations, or things as good or bad.
- Why perfectionism makes all-or-none thinking way worse.
- How to spot where all-or-none thinking is holding you back from creating the results you want for your life.
- What you can do to start looking at life through a lens of and instead of or.

I’ve been getting great feedback about my recent guest interviews, so I have another one this week. This time, I’m welcoming my good friend and fellow coach Krista St-Germain. She is a Master Certified life coach who helps widowed moms through the grieving process. And while you might not be grieving right now, you need to listen closely because it turns out that pretty much everything we’re taught about grief isn’t necessarily true.
Grief is an inevitable part of life, but even more commonly, there will always be a time in our lives when people we know are grieving the loss of a loved one. So many people don’t know how to show up for the people in their lives under these circumstances, we don’t know what to say, and things can get pretty weird, so we’re talking about how to navigate all of those situations.
Tune in this week to discover the truth about grief and why it’s a bigger part of your life than you might realize. Krista is sharing her story, her wisdom about helping yourself or others through a period of grief, and why your thoughts and feelings are the key to understanding your experience of grief.
Join me for my upcoming workshop, The Secret to Unshakable Confidence. There are two dates: Sunday Sept. 18th, 2022 and Wednesday Sept. 21st, 2022. Click here to learn more and sign up!

- What Krista means when she talks about post-traumatic growth.
- The falsehoods we’ve been led to believe about grief, for instance, “the five stages of grief”.
- Why grief is something we go through when we lose anything and it’s not restricted to losing people.
- What grief looks like as it relates to your career.
- Why you can experience grief even as the result of a perceived positive outcome.
