#177 How to Transform Your Money Mindset & Rewire Your Brain for Wealth with Barbara Huson

This episode is all about a topic that needs to be discussed more openly, especially for women… and that’s money.  Like it or not, money is a necessity in our society and it’s also an important source of power, which means it is incredibly important to feel confident and empowered when it comes to anything related to your finances. And whether you’re aware of it or not, everyone has a unique relationship and internal dialogue around money that affects your monetary habits, behaviors, and decisions. This week’s guest is a leading authority on helping women transform their relationship with wealth and power so you can live up to your financial and personal potential. Barbara Huson (previously known as Barbara Stanny), is a bestselling author, financial therapist & wealth coach who has helped millions take charge of their finances and their lives. She has been featured on countless outlets including Good Morning America, The View, Extra, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, PBS, NPR, the New York Times, and USA Today. The reason I wanted to have Barbara on as a guest specifically is because of her unique experience, expertise, and ability to educate that separates her from other money mindset coaches out there.  Barbara is the bestselling author of 7 money books (linked below)—I’ve read several of them and I can’t recommend them enough. Her latest book, Rewire for Wealth: Three Steps any Woman Can Take to Program Her Brain For Financial Success is easily one of my favorites ever written on the topic and we dig into what you need to know in this in-depth conversation.  On Ep. 177, we cover: The biggest reasons women have money issues and where to start fixing them  Barbara’s unique financial background & how she overcame a million dollar tax bill left by her ex-husband as a single mom of three What wealthy women are doing differently from the rest Rewiring Your Brain For Wealth: The three steps for wealth, wellbeing, and anything else you need The role of spirituality and neuroscience in changing your mindset The least intimidating place to start changing your money mindset & more!

The Most Popular Beyond Influential Interview: Melissa Wood Health

I thought now would be a great time to reshare the most popular Beyond Influential interview of all time, Episode 45 with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, aka Melissa Wood Health, on Tapping into Your Passion & Staying Unfiltered in an Instagram World. And while I’m sure there have been a few changes in the specific details as she’s scaled, the conversation still holds up today. Since this episode was recorded, I’ve loved watching the growth and evolution of Melissa’s brand and business. (At the time, I hadn’t tried her workouts, but since then they’ve really helped out when I fell off the workout wagon during the pandemic.) Melissa Wood Health on Creating a Brand & Business Around Her Passion Melissa Wood-Tepperberg is the founder of the MWH method, a certified yoga and pilates instructor, meditator, a proponent of plant based diets, and most importantly a mom of two. Melissa regularly creates health & wellness content for a VERY devoted audience online. While the wellness influencer space is saturated with perfectly curated feeds, what's interesting about Melissa's brand is that she prefers to share her journey unfiltered, from her photos to her personal struggles to get to this point. She has been open about her journey from severe anxiety and an awful eating disorder and has been using her platform to help de-stigmatize these topics. On this episode, we cover: How Melissa discovered her passion & the journey to making it a scalable business (and how to find yours if you don't know!) How she stopped comparing herself to others on Instagram  Melissa's brand: her 3Ms, her target audience, her content process, influencer marketing, collabs & more!   Melissa's Book Recommendations A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles by Marianne Williamson https://amzn.to/39E4v0L Spirit Junkie: A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles by Gabrielle Bernstein https://amzn.to/3KZLG4W Love Your Body: A Positive Affirmation Guide for Loving and Appreciating Your Body (https://amzn.to/3vXtK6U) and You Can Heal Your Life (https://amzn.to/3FysZEG) by Louise Hay Free Resources Get my 3 favorite FREE self-compassion guided meditations for entrepreneurs from Dr. Kristin Neff here! https://www.brittanykrystle.com/meditations Grab these 11 Journal Prompts​ to Uplevel Your Brand & Business! https://www.brittanykrystle.com/journalprompts Want to Support the Podcast for free?
