"How to Heal Your Relationship with Money and Become a Badass Leader: A Feminist Approach (and an Ode to Mushrooms)."  [DAY 4]

Join me as we dissect the relationship many women have with money through the lens or epigenetics, Jungian Archetypes and simple brain rewiring techniques that can help you decide to take back the reins of your finances, no matter your current situation.

We’re about to learn how financial therapy cultivates the ability to be present, so we don’t fall into old money patterns, how to approach our challenges around money as women, heal our ancestors’ money stories, how to use EFT and hypnosis to rewire your worth and beliefs around money, and so much more.

We finish the conversation with … a discussion on the life-affirming power of Mushrooms - yes, I’m talking about psilocybin here.

She works exclusively with women, helping us explore the unconscious behavior that motivates us with money. Brenda unlocks our limiting beliefs around money and self-worth, so we can heal any trauma that may prevent us from interacting with money in a healthy way.

She takes a feminist approach to money, which requires that we properly navigate sustainability, unlike the more masculine approach of ‘more is better’.

If you’ve purchased the Premium Access Pass, you have the Matriarch Collective membership for an entire year as a gift, which means you will have a front row seat to learning from Brenda, as she helps me with breakthroughs around money and abundance.

With the Premium Access Pass, you also have Brenda’s extraordinary BONUSES: one is the “Create Your Future NOW” Course and one of her signature meditations: Hypnosis for Self-Worth.

It’s an unbelievable gift.

"Your Mighty Microbiome, the Vibrational Medicine of Plants, and Renegade Beauty Secrets of a Modern Day Matriarch."  [DAY 4]

Her company, Living Libations, creates all natural, holistic skin and oral care products now sold around the world, while educating all of us about the importance of properly sourced ingredients and understanding that beauty products are meant to nourish our souls while the Earth’s elements nourish our skin.

She wrote the book “Renegade Beauty,” one of those masterpieces you can’t read cover to cover, because you must keep coming back to it to pull out more and more wisdom: doing less and allowing the elements and the life force of nature to revive the body, skin, and soul so our natural radiance can shine through.

I spoke to Nadine during her family vacation in Hawaii, just after she’d been able to practice “sun gazing” for a record number of days in a row, thanks to the unlikely absence of rain and clouds… which lead to a rich conversation about our contentious relationship with the sun and all the myths that surround our obsession with protecting ourselves from it.

We also talked about how, in her early twenties, she met a 21-year-old Alanis Morissette after opening her store for her at midnight right after one of Alanis’ concerts.

Nadine reveres the energizing elements of sun, fresh air, water, the earth, and plants and invites us to do the same… so we can simplify our self-care routine and take our health into our own hands.

Make a mental note of all your favorite beauty products… she’s about to put them to the test!

"Find Your Inner Medicine with Wise Earth Ayurveda: a Message from Maa."  [DAY 3]

Maya Tiwari is a humanitarian, world peace leader and author. Also called "Mother Maya," she is an international teacher of Ayurveda, a health activist and the founder of the Wise Earth School of Ayurveda and Mother Om Mission. She is the daughter of a Brahmin priest, whose family originated from India. Maya was born in Guyana, and moved to New York City, where she became a sought-after fashion designer at the age of 18. Her fashion boutique "Maya" was a prominent store on Madison Avenue, where she served clientele like Princess Diana and many other celebrities.

At the age of 25 Mother Maya survived a five-year-long journey with ovarian cancer. With a diagnosis of six months to live, she retreated to a cabin in the Vermont woods, returned to her Indian ancestors’ Ayurvedic roots, and employed herbs, nutrition, meditation, chanting and yoga to heal herself both physically and spiritually. In 1981, Maya established the Wise Earth School of Ayurveda, the first school for Ayurveda studies in North America, based in the knowledge of the Greater Vedas. The Mother Om Mission (MOM) is a nonprofit organization that provides Ayurveda education and services to at-risk communities in New York’s inner cities and in Guyana. Mother Maya says that “Inner Medicine Healing is based on the concept that each one of us has the ability to heal ourselves.” A key part of her teachings is The Cosmic Memory Principle, which refers to achieving healing through the collective timeless memories of all species and life forms in the universe. Mother Maya was given the distinction of “World Peace Leader” by the Parliament of the World’s Religions in 2009. She’s the author of several ground-breaking books, my favorites are The Path of Practice, A Woman’s Power to Heal, and Living Ahimsa Diet. Those books absolutely changed my life.

Studying with Mother Maya in person was such an honor, it had changed my life. 

If you’ve purchased the Premium Access Pass, you have access to the Matriarch Collective membership for an entire year as a gift, and we’ll be discussing many of the Wise Earth Ayurveda teachings there. Mother Maya’s bonus offering for our members is the Living Ahimsa Meditation course.

"Welfare To $1M, the Magick of Calling in Your Guides, and a Coming Out Story with the Rebel Queen."  [DAY 2]

With her signature hair and magnetic punk rock personality, Kimra has lived through and overcome some outrageously painful obstacles, but despite those challenges she was bold enough to take herself from living on welfare to creating a multi million-dollar business and a super loyal and devoted online following. In fact, the Kimra Luna brand earned nearly a million dollars in its first year.  Do I have your attention? Kimra specializes in personal branding and creative online business strategies. In her year of studying online businesses, she had learned so much that she figured she might as well share. She did it through webinars, to which she drove traffic through Facebook ads. She didn’t even have anything to sell! That Facebook group became the Freedom Hackers Mastermind, and her first paid offering was “Crushing it on Facebook,” which led to coaching jobs. Then came her signature program “Be True, Brand You,” which helps entrepreneurs attract their audience and monetize their brands as they share their message to make a difference in the world. And her programs keep evolving. This year, Kimra is launching her business collective called “The Rebel Club.” It’s a program for service-based misfits, wizards, witches, outside-the-box thinkers, industry disruptors, and business owners who are sick of the bro-marketing fake ‘influencer’ foolishness in the online space. And she’s already looking ahead to her next pivot, which will be in sex & relationship coaching.

We’re about to learn so much from this Rebel Queen! The real life strategies behind her launches and attracting financial abundance, her ‘coming out’ story, all the backlash and blessings that have come as a result, why just having a course is not enough, how to create a strong community online, how to develop your ‘inner witch’, lessons from her water birth, and so much more.

PREMIUM ACCESS BONUS: 30 minute deep dive into why Facebook isn’t dead and what we’re missing out on if we’re not using it creatively in our business, we talk about magic of Facebook chat bots, Kimra’s one core value that will consistently set you up for success, Kimra shares an important perspective on mental health as an entrepreneur, and shares two very different stories we can learn from, one involving Gabby Bernstein, and the other Gary Vee. You live, you learn, Kimra says.

"Money, Sex & the Social Nervous System: How the Ancient Wiring of Your Feminine Rhythms Can be Tapped to Work for You, not Against You."  [DAY 1]

Kimberly Johnson is a certified Sexological Bodyworker, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, postpartum care advocate, birth doula, educator, breath work practitioner, and single mom.

When I first became familiar with her work, Kimberly ran a private practice in California training birth professionals, bodyworkers, and somatic therapists to help women with issues such as prolapse, incontinence, painful sex, and other pelvic floor and gynecological issues. I’ve heard her say that her work is at the intersection of sex, birth, and trauma.

She now lives in New York City and mostly teaches online. Her epic free masterclasses are not to miss, with topics like Healing from Gynecological Trauma, Activate Your Inner Jaguar, Trauma & Transcendence, a series of classes on the Nervous System (like Sex, Money, and the Nervous System), and most recently, a Business & Leadership mastermind for women.

A bit of back story: Kimberly used to live on a tropical island in Brazil. That’s where she had her daughter - and after a great pregnancy and a home birth, she was shocked by how difficult and lengthy her healing journey had been. This journey led her to eventually write the bestseller “4th Trimester: A Postpartum Guide to Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions, and Restoring Your Vitality.” And a second book is currently in the works. I can’t wait!

Every time I talk to Kimberly, she blows my mind. In this talk we’re about to learn how the ancient wiring of our feminine nervous systems can be tapped to work for us and not against us, to think of trauma as un-metabolized experiences in our system, how to use breath to heal, how the Jaguar energy can help us get what we want in life and business, and how flight or freeze responses manifest when it comes to money, how ice baths might be exactly what you’ve been missing, and if you watch the video version of this Talk, you’ll also enjoy my pathetic attempt to growl at Kimberly. There’s so much more. This might be a conversation you may want to listen to more than once. If you're a Premium Pass holder, don't miss Kimberly's amazing

BONUS CLASS: "Healing Through Eroticism."
