BUT she quickly discovered that if she wanted to win at the money game, she'd have to learn the rules.

(00:00):
COVID made me really sick. I mean, and I think that with a
pre-existing condition that didn't help, they're like, hey,
we need to put you on a ventilator.
And I honestly thought the ventilator would be like a
couple days. It ended up being almost three
weeks in a coma. I think a lot of the doctors
didn't think that I would survive, but I just wasn't
worried because I was like, oh, I kind of just prayed for this,
didn't I? You know, and I knew I had a
critical illness insurance and so I knew that I was going to

(00:21):
get a big paycheck at the end. So I mean, there's nothing like
having financial abundance than having a large paycheck after
going through one of the most terrible things that you could
health wise and coming out on the other side abundant
sapphics. And allies, you're listening to

(00:43):
Queer Women Rising. That's women with an X.

queer women who have gone beforeus, we see evidence that there's
nothing we can't do. And yes, we can too.

your most authentic, abundant reality.

Let's. Rise.
Let's. Rise, Let's rise.

(01:27):
Rise, Let's rise. Let's rise, Let's rise.
A lesbians be honest. Can you handle talking about

(01:49):
God, money, queerness all in oneconversation?
Can you handle the nuance? If not, tap out of this live or
quit listening to this podcast episode because it's going to be
raw, real, and we're going to besharing exactly what's coming to
mind. No filters.

(02:12):
Today's guest and member of my lesbian dating platform, the
Queer Country Club. I'm going to call her the Femme
of Finance. Allison Lowe is a former PhD
student in clinical psychology in the Bay Area, where she
discovered her love of women. Yes, Owen Brass, who majored in
neuroscience, trauma, and attachment theory.

(02:35):
But she quickly discovered that if she wanted to win at the
money game, she'd have to learn the rules.
She seamlessly transitioned intoa thriving career in the
financial industry, with a foothold spanning both in Canada
and the USA. Wow.
Her services go beyond traditional financial advice as
she seeks a holistic approach and specializing to help clients

(02:57):
manage their wealth, build generational prosperity, and
shield their assets from taxes and liabilities.
Love to hear it. Not too long after her pivot
into her career, she nearly losther life.
This was back in 2020, but because of the grace of God and
the planning she put in place, she is thriving financially and

(03:17):
she wants to help others do the same, especially the queer
women. If you want to hear 2 bad ass
queer women talk about coming out, faith, abundance and
building wealth today, the conversation we are about to
have is for you so. I'm so glad we finally get to

(03:43):
have it. Let's see.
I've accepted. I think you're loading.
And now. Yes, you're finally here.
Yes. Hello.
Nice to meet you. Thanks for.
Having me. You are so welcome, I'm so glad
you're here. Before we get started, what
letter of the LGBTQIA alphabet soup do you fit into?

(04:06):
What? I I would say I would say L the
1st. OK, OK, so exclusively women.
Yeah. Yeah.
My gosh, I love it. I love it.
I love it. Yeah.
It's always like, just such a joy when I meet someone who's
feminine and is exclusively lesbian.
Like, it just makes me happy. More evidence of it in the

(04:27):
world. Yeah.
So very OK, I want to hear your story.
I want to hear your testimony. I was watching your stories the
other day and was just shook by getting a snippet of your story.
So I guess just start at the beginning for my audience and
how you you got here and almost lost your life.

(04:47):
Yeah, how I got to my career now, essentially.
Yeah. And what happened in 2020, like
I just. Yeah.
Well, actually, I'll, I'll startit.
Yeah, in 2020. So I was doing well before this,
right? I was doing my PhD, as you said,
right? And I realized that, you know,
if we don't know about money, we, I mean, financial security

(05:11):
is, is a huge thing that is lacking in this world, right?
And like the literacy of that. So I had pivoted into the
financial industry. I'll tell you a little bit more
about that later, but in 2020, so I was actually going through,
I was going through this soul searching period and it, it
really started off with me having to reckon with my

(05:34):
sexuality and you know, because you know, I grew up in a
Christian family. I have faith in God, I love
Jesus and that was a huge thing that I was wrestling with right,
because every the world, I mean,the Christian world is telling
you it's wrong, etcetera. So I, I, I, I don't, I, I hired

(05:55):
a, a coach to help me work through this, OK, because I
thought, well, if I, if I found the love of my life as a woman
who was a woman and I was told like it, it's still not in God's
will, It would just, it would totally crush me, right?
And I knew that I was kind of just dating around whatever
because I didn't want to find the one because it would just it
would be so heartbreaking to notbe able to be together because

(06:18):
of that. So I was like, God, like, you
know what, I'm going to, I'm going to look into this and
like, show me without a shadow of a doubt, if this is going to
be in your well, not I don't want just one line in the Bible.
It should be like like a smack in the face where like, I have
no doubts anymore. I'm totally convicted, right?
Either I literally have Angel bombs like I've I've always

(06:40):
asked this so I'm so curious of the answer.
Yeah, So I, I hired a coach. It's funny because she, I, I saw
her on Caroline Leaf. So Caroline Leaf my parents love
because she's a, you know, a neuropsychologist, Christian
neuropsychologist. Her son actually is gay.
I had no idea. And she was interviewing this,

(07:02):
this coach that helps people with, you know, reckoning with
their sexuality. Yima, you're out there.
Shout out to you. So I hired her and we dove into
the Bible. OK, we dove into the Bible and
we just really learned about thecharacter of God.
It wasn't about homosexuality. No, it's the character of God

(07:22):
who God is. OK, And when I and and then
there's other signs that was happening like a girl from my I
went to Trinity Western. It was a Christian university,
so a girl from from that community.
We matched and like we were kindof seeing each other.

(07:43):
So there's all these things thatlike was like she's a pastor's
daughter. So all these kind of signs that
were kind of coming, that were making me like, you know,
realize that the path I was going is, is, is is good.
You know, and I always, and I always tell my, my parents, I
was like, if, if you genuinely pray to God, right, like God,

(08:04):
show me you think he's going to lead you, he's going to like,
let Satan just lead you down thewrong path.
If you're genuinely praying likeGod, like please show me if this
if this is in your will or you know, so after I after I
reconciled all that, then the next thing she asked me, she was
like, OK, so like, what do you need to be OK with this?

(08:25):
And I was like, well, I'm probably going to get to zones
from so I need money. I need financial wealth because
then it wouldn't really matter, you know, because I come from a
family where, you know, when youmarry him, good Christian man,
they pay for the wedding first home, like everything, you know,
everything is done. And so it's, it's and it's

(08:46):
almost like shame. If if your parents don't do
that, right, like, oh, you're, you're they're disapproved da
da. So if they're not paying for the
wedding and, and, and not doing all these things, it's, it's
like shame, right? So I was like, I just need
money. I need to be financially wealthy
so that it doesn't, I, I'll pay for my own wedding and I'll be
freaking even grander than anybody, you know, and just I'll

(09:08):
be able to do that, right? And no one's going to look and
be like, oh, this poor, poor, you know, homosexual, you know,
that's not in God's will. You're not being blessed, that
you would be seen as not being blessed.
So I was like, I just need financial abundance.
And so she's like, OK, let's pray about that.
And we, we, we learn about so much more.
I would say 80% of our time was more about financial abundance,

(09:32):
manifesting that into my life, etcetera.
So that's what happened. And then a month, about a month
later, that was like in July, end of July, August.
And then a month later it was Labor Day, September, Labor Day,
that's when I got sick, that's when I got COVID.
And So what happened was I got COVID and it's funny, 'cause

(09:55):
it's like, it's that at the end of the summer, which is like,
you know, we were doing all thatstuff during the summer, even
with shutdown. And so it, I got sick and then I
just, it was really hard to breathe.
I got just it, it hit me pretty hard.
Went to the hospital and they, they take a chest X-ray, right?
If you can't breathe, they take a chest X-ray.

(10:15):
And then the guy's showing me and again, you're like in a room
that no one wants to be in the room with you.
He's outside and he's like, Hey,did you know you have this large
mass, you know, in your chest, right?
And it was massive. It was like it looked like a
heart, but just on the wrong side.
And I was like, huh, no, I have no idea about that.
And he's like, OK, well, we'll worry about that later.

(10:37):
So COVID made me really sick. I mean, and I think that with a
pre-existing condition that didn't help.
So they're like, hey, we need toput you on a ventilator.
And I honestly thought the ventilator would be like a
couple of days. I was like, OK, whatever.
But no, it ended up being almostthree weeks in a coma, pretty,

(10:57):
pretty close like to dying. I think a lot of the doctors
didn't think that I would survive, but I just wasn't
worried because I was like, oh, I kind of just prayed for this,
didn't I? You know, and I knew I had a
critical illness insurance, so Iknew that I was going to get a
big paycheck at the end. So I mean, there's nothing like
having financial abundance than having a large paycheck after,

(11:19):
you know, going through one of the most terrible things that
you could health wise and comingout on the other side abundant.
Yeah. Wow.
OK, so was this all happening inCanada or in America?
Thank God it was in Canada. That's what I'm thinking.
Yeah. It was in America.

(11:40):
Like, Oh my gosh. Like it's very, very scary.
Well, and 1:00. And that's the thing.
So This is why, like everything in my life has been like
purposefully like plans, you know, by obviously by God.
So like if, if it so back then when I was dating men, I was
dating a married guy. Sorry, not married guys divorce

(12:02):
guy. Sorry he was divorced.
And of course Christian community was throwing the Bible
at me about him being divorced, blah, blah, blah.
And but if it wasn't him, if it wasn't for him, I would have
never met the person that that wrote my entrance letter for,
for, for Stanford. OK, now, if it wasn't for me
dating my first girlfriend, I would have never got introduced

(12:26):
to this industry that I'm in. I would have never pivoted out.
I would have never come back to Canada in 2020.
I would have still been, you know, a student in, in the Bay
Area and, and I, I wouldn't havehad the healthcare that I have
in Canada, right? So and then I wouldn't have, you
know, ever thought of getting life insurance or critical
illness or insuring myself. And so that's what I'm trying to

(12:50):
say. Like everything was perfectly
planned to set me up for success.
Yeah. Wow, that is crazy.
Thank you for sharing. In those moments when you were
like, I'm I'm going to pass away, like there's a chance that
I could were you thinking like, OK, God is like, do you still
love me even though I'm gay? Or how do you work through that?

(13:12):
I work through it. I love it.
Yeah, I have worked through that.
So I, I like, of course, my mom is like, you need to pray, pray
for your soul. And I'm like, I'm good.
I'm, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna come out.
I wasn't even scared. There's not one part of me that
ever thought that it would be the end.
However, even like my cousins and like they were like, you
know, their internal medicine, like oncology, they're like, you

(13:36):
know, make sure you say your goodbyes, you know, write your
letters, say your goodbyes. And so I did and it, and it
actually was a very beautiful, not that I thought I needed it,
but it was a very beautiful practice to do When you think
about when you're going to leave, right?
A lot of people are like, well, I'm dead.
I don't really care, but I'm like, no, like I, I was able to
direct where I wanted everythingto go, right?

(13:59):
Financially, my money, who I wanted to get what and be able
to bless those around me that I loved in my, in my leaving.
And that was kind of like my legacy.
So but yeah, no one thought thatI would be alive today, even the
doctors. But I didn't, I didn't that I
didn't have a doubt. And I'll tell you, during my

(14:19):
coma, people always ask like, well, so do you, do you remember
what it was like in your coma, etcetera.
And I know you hear stories, right, of people who've had near
death experiences that were maybe not believers, right?
And where do they go? They see fiery hell and like,
it's very scary and they come back and they're like, oh shit,
you know, like hell is a real place.
No, So I was in a very in a beautiful white fire.

(14:43):
And we know that God comes to people like in like, you know,
Moses, the burning Bush that wasnever burning and like, you
know, leading the Israelites, you know, with that pillar of
fire. So it was like a beautiful white
fire. I felt calm, I felt peace.
I felt love. I just, it was great.
Yeah. It was really, it was great.

(15:05):
So I came out of it totally, totally good.
You know, whereas a lot of people who experienced that, who
reached out to me during that time, they're like, they've been
in a coma. They've experienced something
like that. They're like, Oh my God, it was
horrendous. PTSD, blah, blah, blah.
Like I don't have any of. That Oh my God, that was like
that peaceful moment with Yeah, it sounds like it was.

(15:26):
Like a warm embrace with God. Literally, that's what it was.
I was just, yeah. Wow.
OK so you go in because of 2020 Rona and you here you have a
mask on your chest. You come out of the coma.
At what point do you start taking care of like this really
scary thing that they found in your chest when you went in for

(15:47):
having, you know? Yeah, so I, I went in like
September, September 12th or something like that.
Came out October 10th. So I was in the in the hospital
for a month just to recover fromCOVID and then and then they're
like, OK, well, since you've hadthis for a long time, we'll take
it out in January. So I was scheduled to do surgery

(16:10):
in, in January, but then around November, November 27th, I, I
started feeling like muscle. What I didn't know, but it was
muscle weakness, right? So I started losing my voice.
I couldn't, I couldn't squeeze my kegel muscles.
That was crazy. I was like, Oh my God, I can't

(16:30):
feel anything down there. It was weird.
And, and then I, I went into thehospital, they took blood like I
had my ositis, like my heart wasgoing crazy.
All this stuff was happening. So basically Long story short, I
had myasthenia gravis and myasthenia gravis is just, it's,
it's where your, I guess your brain's not really talking to
your muscles and, and it's just this muscle weakness, etcetera.

(16:53):
And it took them 11 days for them to figure that out.
Like they'd had to stick needlesinto me and like electrocute the
like, it was like torture. I think that was worse, you
know, the torture, just trying to find out what, what was going
on with me. And then finally, like, you
know, where you have that cold code blue and you're like
crashing and like everyone rushes to you and like, like

(17:15):
they're cutting off your, your clothes and like, yeah, about to
intubate you. Like so that happened
eventually. And and so they're like, OK,
we'll take this thing out. So that was in November.
So I spent another month in November.
December 10th was my open chest surgery and then I was out by
the 19th. Oh, my gosh.
So they had to just take this thing out because it was cancer.

(17:38):
It was like, like, yeah. It was malignant.
I would they would consider it malignant because it pretty much
nearly killed me, but it's not cancerous in the term.
I didn't need to do chemo or anything like that.
But literally if you go look, golook at my Instagram, there's
pictures of it, but it's it's like it's literally massive.
It's like a it's like a freakingsecond heart.
So. My gosh, and you look like such

(18:01):
a small person, so it just blowsme way even more.
Yeah, yeah, well, it's called the thymoma.
So a thymoma is like, it's the thymus gland.
So technically the thymus gland should shrink in adolescence,
but it it grew with me so that'swhy I didn't feel anything.
Yeah. Wow.
Wow. OK, Well, we're so glad you're
here and we're you prepared for yourself?

(18:23):
We had someone say thank you forsharing.
I also grew up in a Christian family, feared being condemned
for being gay. I'm curious, when you came out,
when once you went through with your coach?
Or actually, did you tell your parents before you had the
coaching or after? They knew.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They knew.
They knew when I was. So I was 30, two at the time in

(18:47):
2020. So I, I, they already knew
around 2829. And it was crazy because I was
dating a guy at the time who I really used as my mustache just
to kind of like, you know, you know, distract them.
And yeah, they just, it's, it's so crazy because I'm like, why
would you guys, like, be suspicious knowing that I, you

(19:11):
know, I used to date so many menbefore, right?
And I, I used to, and they used to be like, oh, can you not like
date someone? Can you just have more
girlfriends? I was like, OK.
And then I went to the Bay Area and my mom was like, watch out
for those homosexuals. And, and I'm like, why would you
say that to me? Like it, it's such a weird thing
to say to your daughter, who is very straight, who at the time.

(19:34):
Well, no, I mean, I mean, if youlike, technically you would, if
you want to say like I'm, I'm bylike be like, yes.
I mean, I can, I can enjoy both,but I love, I love women and I
will be with women, you know, SoI, no, I can, I can, I can,
Yeah. So I, I dated lots of men.
I love them. I had great relationships.
I'll tell you, I have the my most healthy relationships are

(19:55):
with men. And for?
Savings. Women.
Are saying and women just yeah, that's that's a whole different.
Story it is Oh my gosh. What do you think was in the
relationship with the man that what that you've yet to find
with the woman that I hope I hope you find in great Country
Club. What?
What has been the difference that you find?

(20:21):
Man, I think it would just be the, the intimacy is what I like
the most. You know, like the touch of a
woman. Yeah, the sensuality, their
smell, like just their bodies. I mean, it's, it's great, right?
No, but what do you think? Yeah.
What has been the challenge? Like, what's been the challenge
with women where you're like, OK, there was because I can look

(20:41):
back and be like, other than that, we're nuts.
Sofia come. On We're nuts.
We put both of us on our period.Like what the heck?
I think the challenge with womenwas because I'm, I'm so used.
I, I grew up straight, I still have a very straight girl
mindset. OK, I don't really have a gay
community. I don't, I don't hang out in the

(21:02):
gay community. I'm, I have a heterosexual life
for the most part. So when you bring a lesbian
woman into the relationship, into a relationship with me,
there's a lot of jealousy, right?
Because I have a lot of men in my life.
I have a lot of women in my life.
That also being said, I like, unfortunately, the women that

(21:26):
I've dated were narcissists and but you don't realize what that
is because again, it was new coming into women.
So when women are jealous, it's cute.
It's kind of like, oh, like you want to, you want to, you know,
cater to them more because you're like, oh, like, I mean,
you just don't know right? Where it's like.

(21:46):
It's not. Cute.
Well, yeah, but then like, you know, you, it kind of makes
sense. And like when she was like, oh,
it's not appropriate for you to be doing XYZ with a woman
because you're straight. Like come on, think or because
you're gay. I mean, think about it's like
straight girls, we go to the bathroom together.
We literally can be naked. Like like it's not a big deal.
I went to an all girls school myentire life.

(22:08):
So like me being close and cuddly with my straight girls
and and B and and I mean, I could understand how that
bothered, you know, a gay woman coming into my life.
You know what? I.
Mean, yeah, because you already had, like, those established
things. Me and my best friend Elena,
like, we will walk around holding hands and, like, cuddle.
But like, it's so, I think because she's so straight, like

(22:31):
she's so straight that like the person I'm with doesn't care.
Yeah, well, yeah. And because they're healthy,
right? But when you were with a
narcissist, right, they, it's a whole different thing.
So they, they turn it against you.
So that would be the biggest thing.
And I can tell you, I've heard horror stories of your area
where you live, specifically narcissistic women horror

(22:55):
stories in Vancouver, Canada. Yes, yes.
We have a lot of women in Ontario and Vancouver that are
coming into queer Canada. Yeah.
And then like getting my D out. I'm telling you right now, like
I don't date. I don't date in Vancouver,
Canada, Canada, so all my all myrelationships being long
distance. So it's all you American girls

(23:15):
over there nuts. It's not, it's not a it's not
girls in Canada. Let me put it that.
Way I know we've had so many sweet ones inside of Queer
Country Club, but I'm like guys,what are y'all going through?
This sounds terrible. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think that's just The thing is like women, it's just,
it's when, especially when you when you're coming from dealing

(23:37):
with men, it's a, it's a whole different ball game.
I still don't know if I really figured it all out, to be
honest. Men are so much easier.
Men are so much dating men like a walk in the park.
A lot easier. The problem is I'm just not
attracted. You know, I could, I, you know,
I could. Yeah.
It just. So this is where I this is where

(23:58):
I knew the difference, right. So I, I can, I can, I can, I can
maintain both relationships fine.
I can maintain a relationship with men.
It's easy, it's great. But I knew like even my ex, my
ex-boyfriend, he super strong, Christian, etcetera.
It's like he saw it in me too. He was super upset about me with

(24:19):
women and I never understood it,right.
And, and so I know if I was going to be with a Christian
man, like I'm anonymous, right? So I, I and I, and I'm the type
of person that you're not looking at other people
lustfully or thinking certain things.
So if I was with a man and he was like, I don't want you to be
flirting or like any of that in your mind, I'd be like, yeah, I

(24:44):
know, like I can't, I'm sorry. I definitely would.
Not that I'm a cheater, but justeven the wandering of the mind
right is already because you're.Attracted to women?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Whereas if a woman, if I'm with a woman and she's like, I don't
want you looking at men or even thinking I'd be like, yeah, no
problem, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I get that.

(25:05):
I get that. OK, I now want to know the story
of how you got into your industry because you started in
like neuroscience. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that is like such a plot to us.
How did that happen? So, yeah, so you know, I come
from a family of doctors and dentists, right?
So they're all about, like, financial feed.
I'm like, you don't become a doctor to be poor, right?

(25:26):
You know, like you want it's financial security in the Asian
culture. So I was like, OK, I'm gonna I'm
still a rebel. I was like, OK, I'm gonna be I'm
gonna do clinical psychology. So I did that.
I love it, right? But to this and but one thing is
like when you're working with clients, what is the biggest
stressor money, right, right. And low socioeconomic status is

(25:47):
always associated with a lot of mental health issues, right?
Cuz you don't. Have ability to care for
yourself the same luxuries, especially in America, I don't
know how to say. Or even afford healthcare like
you know, mental health right? So as a student, I was paying
400 over $400.00 USD when I'm Canadian, right?

(26:09):
USD per session with a clinical psychologist.
And I'm like, Pete, the average person can't afford this.
So what's going to happen, right?
So they're going to go for a clinical counselor, which is
like 2 years of master's, right?The Gulch is 15175.
Yeah, right. But they will, because I mean,

(26:30):
that's kind of the going right now for like, you know,
whatever, any kind of therapy, right?
So then I'm like, well, that puts me in it.
Why am I going to do 10 years when this, this guy over here is
taking my clients and you only have to do 2 years.
Then you have people who are like, oh, I'm, I'm a coach, I'm
a life coach. And I'm like, what?
Like what background do you haveto be coaching people or doing

(26:51):
that? So I was like, I was like, wow,
OK, so being a clinical psychologist, you don't like it?
It's not I, I didn't see the financial security there,
especially when you could do it in other ways, right?
I could be a coach. I could, you know, so so then I
was like, you know, kind of justnot, I was just kind of not

(27:13):
loving that aspect, but I was like, OK, well, I'm here now.
I'll just finish it. And then my friends, they
introduced me to to the financial industry.
They're like, hey, do you want to learn about money and make
money? And I was like, yes, because
I've always been a hustler. So they introduced me to the
company I work with right now. And yeah, and then and then some

(27:35):
other things happened in my lifeat the time that really just
pushed me towards towards quitting my PhD and, and going
to finance. Oh wow.
OK. So were you like always good
with numbers or you never even really thought about numbers and
you just jumped into this? No, I mean, think about it,
science, right? So science, we have to we're,
I'm Asian, we're good at math, right.

(27:56):
So of course, like if you think of all science, chemistry,
biology, all of it physics, it'sall numbers.
It's all math. So, yeah, I was good with, I was
good with that. Yeah.
And what I love is that like 2 +2 is always going to be 4 in
clinical psychology. That's not always going to be
the case. It's not just the guy here, just
do this. It's I'm very directive.
Like I'll tell you what to do. You can't only do that as a

(28:18):
therapist, right? As a coach, maybe, but as a
clinical psychologist, not so much, right?
So I like a very directive approach.
When someone here's a problem and then I'm just OK, you do
XYZ. Treatment planned.
I love it like a financial Dr. Yeah, I call myself.
Yeah, exactly. I'm a money doctor.
And I I also gave you another name when I started, like the

(28:41):
stem of finance. Yes, I love that.
I love that. That's perfect, Yeah.
So what's your favorite type of client to work with and what
does that look like? Like what is her life like?
What's going on where she would hire you because like financial
advice, like what is it exactly?Yes.
So in my career, I started with people like my family, which is

(29:05):
doctors, dentists, professionals, business owners,
corporate. That's my specialty.
That's what I love. I like very high operation, you
know, high operations, right? So, yeah.
So business owners, yeah, business owners, professionals,
all that. But I can, I can literally work

(29:27):
with anyone. So I, you know, families, right?
Especially you want to create generational wealth, you want to
create a legacy. And you're a professional.
You know, I, I help everyone though, you know, my, our motto
is no family left behind. So, you know, families are super
important, kids especially, You know, you're a parent, you're

(29:47):
working, you need to have that protection, you need to have
that critical illness, life insurance, all that stuff.
Right. So yeah.
But my favorite people to work with are business owners on the
higher net worth clientele. Yeah, love it.
And they're usually coming to you for is it like health
insurance, life insurance, like what is it?

(30:08):
What are the services? So I'm a full-fledged financial
advisors. So I do, I do everything.
So, so obviously in the United States would be Roth, you know,
401 KS, which I'm not a huge fanof, but you have them, you got
to roll them over. Someone's got to grow it for
you, right? So growing your wealth, wealth,
wealth management, right? And then also tech tax
efficiency and then the protection.

(30:30):
So there's, there's three thingsI always talk about in the
wealth formula, right? You want to grow your money,
right? But it's not just about how much
you're growing it, right? It's about how much money, how
much you're keeping in your pocket from taxation.
Who cares if you're getting 3040% of the government's going
to take half of it, right? Yeah.
So, so tax efficiency is, is super important.

(30:53):
So that's the next thing. And then protection, protection
of your assets from tax, protection of your most
important asset, which is yourself, and then protection of
your assets when you want to pass them to the next
generation. The government loves to tax you,
right, While you're alive. When you, when you save money,
they tax you, when you earn money, they tax you, when you

(31:14):
spend money, they tax you. And when you die, they, they
love to tax you even more. So I like to protect against all
of that stuff. I love it.
That's something my mom talks about all the time.
Like different things she's put into place for when they're gone
to where we're not taxed so hardor different things are
protected. Like it's ridiculous.

(31:35):
Like the amount of legal hoop she will jump through to protect
land from, yes, the government coming for that later.
Like there's just so many things.
It's like it's, it's, it's crazy.
I love, love that you've had a family where you can learn from.
2:00 I think so many women in general, just we don't have that

(31:56):
financial literacy. It's something that I'm working
on. My older partner is definitely
good at like helping me with that.
And I've just started doing a few things.
So like tell me if I'm on the right path.
I hope I am because I have someone that I'm working with.
But like, I've got a Roth, an SEPI, don't even know what it
means. I just know I like Max these

(32:17):
things out. Sophia, then you need to talk
about infinite banking. Then we have we have to talk
about infinite banking sometime.Great, is that something that
you can share? Just a snippet about here.
Yeah. So think about this, right?
So, so the so the the assets that make your money grow mutual
fund, stocks, etcetera, right. That's like what I like to call

(32:38):
like your fertilizer, your soil,etcetera.
So imagine your money as seeds, OK.
Now, if you put your seeds into a pot, an empty pot, it doesn't.
Does it grow? No, Right.
You need to put water. So all that stuff.
So that is the stuff that makes your money grow.
That's the mutual funds, stocks,bonds, whatever, OK?
That gets your rate of return. The account is the pot.

(33:00):
The account determines taxation only.
OK. Which is why you're doing a rot,
right? So if I were to ask you, Sophia,
if you had seeds, would you rather pay tax on your seed or
the large harvest later? I guess a large harvest.
No, no. Maybe get it over with.

(33:21):
I don't know. I don't know.
Because if we wait till a large harvest later, are you going to
say it multiplied how much you have to pay?
Yeah, imagine and you have 5 seeds and then that can create
500,000 bushels of apples. Yeah, it's unlimited.
I think I'd rather get taxed on the seeds.
But there's so many people that would that that that, you know,

(33:41):
want to be taxed later. So that's the four O 1K, the
IRA, that's where you get screwed over.
And you say, Mr. Government, I don't want to pay tax on the
seat right now. I'm going to pay it later.
Literally, they know they're going to get screwed over by how
much taxes? Because every time you're going
to access that money, it's, it'scompletely taxable as income,
right? And we all know $100,000 is not
very much to live on. Now add inflation and right when

(34:03):
we're going to retire, we want to be abundant.
I want to be living off $500 million a year.
So think about the tax of incomethat you're be going to be
pulling out on that. It's, it's a lot.
So your Roth, what you're doing with your Roth is you're paying
tax on the seed and it grows, itgrows tax related.
The problem is you're only putting 6-7 grand a year into

(34:24):
that and it's limited. You can only touch the growth
when you're aged 59 1/2, right? So if you want to buy a house in
6-7 years, you can't really access all that money.
I don't like limitations. So the other vehicle, the only
other vehicle where you pay tax on your seed and it grows
completely tax free is in what we call, I call an infinite

(34:46):
bank, but it's life insurance. So in Canada it'll you'll have
like a whole life or universal life.
In the United States, we call, we use an index universal life.
So basically you're growing yourmoney in this vehicle the same
way using like index funds or you know, mutual funds,
etcetera. You're growing your money in
there. It's compounding, it's growing

(35:08):
tax free, and then you can access it completely tax free.
The beautiful thing about this is, is that you can actually
have your money growing in two places at once.
So imagine you have 100 grand and you take out 100 grand.
What's left over here? 0.
Zero. It shouldn't be 0, but it's not

(35:29):
and an infinite bank. This is still 100 grand that's
still growing over here while you've taken the 100 grand and
you're using it over here. Bye I.
Love this. They're loving you.
They're like Sophia, save this video.
They're loving what you're saying.
I've never heard this before. OK.
So you're saying with infinite banking, with the life

(35:52):
insurance, it's like you're ableto pull out, use it?
You're being. Yeah, OK.
And this makes sense because when I was younger, I married a
man and my parents paid for a wedding because I was married a
man. They I remember them saying they
pulled out money from my life insurance policy to help my

(36:12):
first house as long as I paid itback.
You. Can you can you can pay it back,
but if you never pay it back, what happens?
You die, and then what happens is the death benefit will
actually just pay back whatever you used.
OK, OK. Wow, you know what I've used?
I've used this to buy three properties already.

(36:33):
I've, I've, I've done this. It's, it's, it's, it's OK.
The Rothschilds, the Rockefellers.
Well, this, you know, like Disneyland wouldn't have existed
if he didn't use his life insurance policy.
Same thing with Ray Croc from like Ray Ray McDonald's or
whatever with McDonald's mascot.The only reason why he was able

(36:53):
to fund that was from his life insurance policy.
Also, same thing, JC Penney backin 1929 in the Great Depression
where the banks were going out of business, etcetera.
What was in business? Life insurance, and he was able
to use his life insurance to keep his business afloat.
So the wealthy have been doing this.
You want to know what the wealthy do?
It's life insurance. It's so good.

(37:14):
OK, You just gave me like the best explanation of this that
I've ever gotten because I feel like as a woman, just being
real, I don't I really don't think about numbers, science.
Like I have other people who do certain things, so it's like, I
actually understand this. This makes a lot of sense, Thank
you so much. Then we'll talk about it later.
Yeah. It's, it's absolutely amazing.

(37:36):
And if people aren't using it and then the problem is it's,
it's all based on your insurability.
Well, what happened to me? You can't get it anymore, right?
So you're never going to be as young and as healthy as you are
today. Yeah, Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, that makes sense. Wow, OK, thank you so much.
I know this is going to help so many women.

(37:56):
Can they reach out to you whether they're in Canada or the
USA? Yes, yes, they can.
They definitely I can. I can I can service any province
in Canada and I can service any state in the USA.
OK, amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
This has been so enlightening. What would be the first
financial tip if you had to leave my audience with one

(38:19):
thing, Queer women? This is the one thing you can do
today to start. What would that be, Allison?
I mean, what we've been talking about, get your Internet bank,
come out, talk to me honestly, like you know, like you cannot,
you know, if you want to navigate the financial world,
you need to just like we want tonavigate, like, you know, being

(38:43):
an athlete, we need coaches, right?
You need, you need a professional.
So #1 work with a professional, right?
Someone that is non biased, that's a broker, someone like me
who's going to educate you on what you need to know and guide
you through it so that you can make the right decisions for
yourself together with with someone like me.
So that's the biggest thing I would say.

(39:04):
Then the second I would also sayis just make sure you pay
yourself. So many business owners or so
many people, they're paying their bills, etcetera, right?
But they're not paying themselves, which is their
future or, or their protection. If you can't work and something
like what happened to me, I was 32 years old at the time, young,
healthy, right? If that happens to you, what's

(39:25):
going to happen to your financial stability?
It would probably rock. It would probably destroy it,
right? So make sure you pay yourself.
Make sure you pay yourself to protect yourself That would be
the number one thing just like you like just like you, you pay
your bills. You should consider that as I
mean you guys in the United States, you have health

(39:45):
insurance, right? So you guys pay for that, but
more like the insurance side critical illness and also your
savings right or investment right.
That's. Painful for a lot of health
insurance. It's crazy.
Here, Yeah, that's a whole thing.
You don't even get your. You don't even get your money
back, really. No.
Oh, no. And like it may or may not cover
for what you need, which is really, really scary in America.

(40:09):
It's some a conversation I have with my partner all the time.
Like what? Like when will we get married
and combine insurances? And like, how can we save money
on insurance? How can we get the most
coverage? And she's significantly older.
So making sure that she gets great cover.
Like it's just, Oh my Lord. Even like long term care, right?

(40:32):
Taking care of the elderly. I mean, that's that that expense
in itself. I know my parents have been
like, you know, preparing for atleast 20 grand a month just to
just to cover just that. Yeah, like for the future or
what they're paying for insurance?
You mean like for their futures?No, for their future, right.
So because because long term care is not an insurance plan in

(40:56):
in, in Canada. So if you want to go to an old
folks home or any kind of home or have like live in care or
anything like that, that's just out of pocket.
So they're putting aside 20,000 every single month?
Well. They're they're they're
budgeting for 20 KA month to be able to afford that, you know,
to cover the expenses. Yeah.

(41:17):
What that might be. Yeah.
Wow. Yeah, necessary.
I know. That's something that my parents
have taken care of too. They've always told me like
you'll never have to take care of us because we are like paying
this aside now that's. Great.
See, that's great. It's great.
A lot of people don't do that. Not at.
All What is it even funerals? Funerals, yes, they've taken

(41:40):
care of that stuff. I've even had like a funeral
policy for a long time. But like, it's really sad if you
don't in America. I don't know how this is in
Canada, but if you don't take care of these things with
insurance, they will actually, like, take your house away.
Oh, wow. Yeah, Like your, your house is
what we'll have to pay for your care.

(42:01):
And then your care won't be goodat all.
It won't get you very far. That's crazy.
So you know, what I love about the Infinite Bank is that it
cannot be touched by creditors, by by the IRSCRA, none of that.
Wow, OK, well anyone who knows what is it?
I said I was like, people can't be taking your house or your,

(42:24):
you know, I mean they can, but all your other assets, but not
the infinite bank and not the money in the infinite bank.
So you could be bankrupt on paper.
You have $1,000,000 in your infinite bank and you're good to
go. Wow.
Wow, that's wild. Thank you for sharing this.
If anyone has questions after you've listened to this episode,
whether you've heard it air on Instagram live or watch the

(42:46):
replay or maybe in a few months when this podcast comes out on
Querymen rising, the podcast on Apple or Spotify, if you have
questions for Allison, you will go reach out to her Where
Allison? That's my.
So AALOWE finances and I have videos like educational videos
like feel free to reach out to me.

(43:06):
I'm happy to have a call with you and help you guys out for
sure. Thank you so much for being
here. Thank you for educating my
audience. It's time to redistribute wealth
into the hands of queer women, and absolutely that you get to
be a part of. It Yeah, No, absolutely.
Thank you for having me. You're so welcome.
Yeah. So tell me a little bit more

(43:27):
about you, Sophia. Like so I, I know you're in the
marketing. OK, so you're, you're like
social media is a big thing. I, I feel like, I think I half,
if not more than half of my job is social media.
You know, I'm no longer a financial advisor, just call,
I'm just like a social media manager now of myself.
And, and it's crazy how much youhave to put time and energy you

(43:49):
have to put into that. So tell me a little bit more of
how people can be successful in that.
I think you just shared is one of the first key pieces you
actually have to become your ownsocial media manager.
People want to hire someone, butthen your content is not going
to be effective. It's just no, like if it's not

(44:13):
you writing, yes, you can get assistance from ChatGPT, but if
it's not you coming up with yourcontent, speaking to your
audience, answering the questions that they have,
sharing your story, then your content's just not going to get
very far and not differentiate yourself.
And there's so much like Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, all
these places are so saturated. So that is the first step.

(44:34):
It is deciding that you're goingto be your social media
marketer, manager yourself and then deciding, OK, how do am I
really clear on how I help people?
And if you're not getting clients on social media, it's
taking what you do and being louder about it.
I think so many of us, especially women entrepreneurs,

(44:56):
we have big hearts. We are women of integrity.
And so we feel like, and it probably comes from the same
places like Christian trauma, honestly, where we feel like it
might be wrong to like brag about ourselves or brag about
client results or talk all the time about what we sell.
But at the end of the day, you know this from what you do, that

(45:18):
sharing is what selling really is.
It's sharing storytelling peoplereally need.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And but like, when you sell to
someone, it's it's like giving them a gift because if they
wouldn't have had that insurance, then they may haven't
encountered certain problems, right.
So knowing that it's not icky tosell and every single day

(45:40):
telling your story and then at the end sharing how you can help
someone. So it comes down to storytelling
and selling over and over again every single day and having that
consistency every single. Day yeah, it's the every single
day part that just is nuts. It's it's it's a lot it's a lot
it's a lot and it's crazy because I I know recently your

(46:04):
Instagram got shut down. What happened to me was they
deleted 60 of my 60 plus videos posts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was just like, oh man.
So I'm gonna repost everything, do the captions and it's a lot
of freaking work and I don't know why that happened.

(46:27):
I always feel I almost feel likealmost a shadow ban, but it just
happened out of nowhere. So I've been just trying to
repost just my old stuff. But then now you have the
watermark and it's just the whole thing, man.
It's, it's a lot. So it's, it's, it's kudos to you
people who are influencing and getting genuine followers.
Yeah, it's a it's a lot. You Where are you at in your

(46:51):
follower account? Allison like I just under 5000.
OK, OK. Yeah.
So there is a benefit to having a lower follower count.
It's where you truly get to decide what your niche is and
what you want to call in. It's like honing in on your
manifestation because what you decide to do now is going to
like just be a magnet for who comes in later.

(47:12):
Back when I was at 10,000 followers, I started talking
about relationships. Later I went into business
coaching. My content wasn't seen because
my account was niche for relationships.
So right now, if you're posting every day about finance, every
day about freedom, every day about building that dream life,
that secure life, that Peace of Mind and selling that like

(47:34):
always leaning into not just selling like more money because
that could be something that does maybe trigger the algorithm
to keep you suppressed, talking about Peace of Mind and painting
the picture. And you did this very well today
when you like gave essentially like your pitch of with infinite
bank, it's like you're painting a picture of what life is with

(47:56):
security and what life is without security.
And so I'd really lean into likethose keywords rather than like
financial words that may triggerthe algorithm because they might
think it's spam. That's the only thing that I
would think that could have happened to you.
Did you get any messages in the back end that like told you?
No, they just got. No, they just disappeared.

(48:19):
They just disappeared. OK, I've just been rebuilding
that. I would have.
Been crying I'm so sorry. Yeah, I mean, it was, it was, it
was, it was annoying, that's forsure.
And like just putting it all back together is is annoying.
But I guess my question for you,I mean we're going to have to
talk about this another time with the with like growing from
like 5000 to 10:00 to. 80 we cando it now let's go OK social

(48:41):
media Saturday a geek out like what?
What your next goal is 10,000? Sure, OK.
Whatever I want, I want 100. I want a million.
So I was like, OK, let's go. What is the frequency that
you're posting now that you're being consistent?
I was I always try to do the everyday thing then because also

(49:02):
like I finally you post. I was like, I don't want to post
on the weekends because no one'sreally going to look at that.
So I was doing Monday to Friday posting.
But here's the problem is that I'm reposting my old stuff that
has the watermarks of like whether it's because I had I
those are my only copies, whether it's from TikTok or like
Instagram. So I also heard that that was
not really good to do, but whatever.

(49:24):
For me, it's just you just, but you're just putting the content
out there, right? But every I try to do every day
every other day. Yeah, OK, as long as you can be
consistent. So the algorithm loves
consistency. For a year, I did every day.
And then as soon as I got like ateam to help me with other

(49:44):
things and I was really able to dive into content was like twice
a day. And the way I think of this is a
post that takes a little more effort, but it's short and
trendy and has the opportunity to resonate with a lot of
people. So you'll notice that kind of
post this, at least right now, and we're recording this.
This is what's working in October of 2024.

(50:04):
I post a short 4 to 5 second reel turning sound highly
relatable. Ask for them to engage in the
post somehow, some way. And then usually by the
afternoon I'll post a longer form video or a image carousel.
Usually those are easier to create.
Let me tell you why. The shorter one, normally I'm

(50:27):
thinking taking a lot of thought, how can I make my big
thoughts more concise? And for me, I'm like a over
talker overwriter. So that takes me a little bit
more time. But for the longer post, I
literally will not edit them very hard.
Or I'll have my editor like chopit for me if I'm in a pinch, but
I will just set up my camera, pull out my mic, start talking,

(50:49):
pretend like I'm in a podcast orrepurpose snippets from a real
podcast and put that as my longer form video or just me in
front of the camera. And I immediately called the
ideal audience, which for me keyword lesbians blah blah.
So for you, it would be like women in your 30s who are pretty
satisfied with everything in your life.

(51:09):
You've got the dream job, you'vegot the dream house.
But what would happen if I told you you could lose it all?
So that sort of thing, like honing it on them right away and
then telling a story about a client without overthinking it.
So you're able to get in front of the camera and not overthink
your content, create it, and have something to post every

(51:30):
single day. Rather than being like oh I got
to like edit this perfectly. It's like a short form.
Then like a FaceTime with your best friend style video.
Next to really cut down on your content creation time and
optimize with some keywords, like 3 keywords, hide them, type
them in, drop them really low, drag them to the corner.

(51:52):
Optimize with your yes, optimizewith your copy and make sure
you're calling people to action,which I I haven't seen like like
I haven't done like an audit of your account, but I would assume
your call to action is probably pretty strong because it seems
like you know how to like. I mean, we'll see.
You know what, I would love for you to do an audit of my
account. We should definitely.

(52:12):
I would love to kind of see whatyou could do with that because
yeah, I think there's a lot of tips, but it's just like, you
know, I, I want to hire someone to just do it.
But you're right, like I, I findthat I can do it so much better
than somebody else. But I'll tell you what will
happen if you hire someone, you will literally be throwing money
in the trash and you'll be spending probably half the time

(52:35):
it would take you to do it yourself because you would come
up with a concept or you'd film something, you'd send it to
them, but you'd have to go back and forth on edits like.
Yeah, no, I get it. And I'm a really good video
editor. I do everything.
Everything. I do everything.
Yeah, yeah. Then girl, like, keep doing what
you're doing, plus be consistentwith it and more of it.
And you know what? Don't overthink it.

(52:57):
It doesn't have to be as fresh as you think it needs to be.
What I do is, I see, OK, this concept works.
I do that shit again and again and again.
We're doing something without. This is like the gold rush to
not have to pay for ads. There will be a time where we
will have to pay to play. Right now, we're paying with our
time. In the future, you'll not only

(53:18):
have to pay with your time, but you will have to pay with money.
I think it's coming soon. I think Meta is going to be
having us like right now, we're already doing like Meta Verify.
There's going to be different levels.
Eventually people will need to pay for ads to be seen.
But right now, everyone needs torun with all their might and
start creating effective content.

(53:39):
Yeah, yeah. OK, like I said, I'm no longer a
financial advisor. I'm like I'm a content creator
now. That's like that's like my full
time job and I. Feel used to start.
I feel you. So if anyone's wondering like
what to do with their social media, they're watching this,
they're listening to the podcast.
DM me the word strategy at Sophia Spolino or go to the link

(54:02):
in my bio because I'll give you a free training.
I do a free training. We'll help you really think
through like what you're missingbecause sometimes all you need
to do is watch that and figure out I'm missing this.
Then you can decide if you want my help or if you want to try to
do it on your own. But watching that will help.
That'll be your first step. DME strategy.

(54:22):
OK, you perfect. It's.
Queen Well, it was wonderful talking to you.
Thank you for asking me questions.
I really appreciate it. And if anyone wants to work with
you, is there a certain keyword they need to submit to you?
No, just reach out to me. It's fine.
Just reach out to me on my Instagram and, you know, just
say, hey, I need, I need, or youcould say money doctor, it's all

(54:42):
good. But most people, they just reach
out to me normally and they start a conversation and.
OK. Perfect.
I love it. I love it.
And is the first consultation free?
Like what does that look like for them?
Yeah. So the first consultation is
free. I actually don't pay.
It's not a fee fee based service.
It's more of Commission on the broker side.

(55:03):
So I don't necessarily depending, right.
So if someone wants like business strategy and all that
stuff that's that's different. But strictly just for the
finance, for finances, doing a financial needs analysis, all
that, I don't tend to charge up,I don't tend to charge for.
That OK Wow, that's awesome. That's so good for everyone to
know. Everyone.

(55:24):
This is accessible to you? Yeah, as.
Possible as possible, right So. So important, especially to
redistribute wealth into the hands of queer women.
Thank you for being here, have an amazing day.
Thank you for having. Me.
You're so welcome. Bye all day.

(55:47):
As queer women, that's women with an X because of course we
are inclusive here. As I was saying, as queer women,
we haven't always been lifted upor celebrated.
We have often felt left out and put down in places that
historically haven't welcomed us.
In fact, we have been conditioned by society to be

(56:08):
grateful for mere tolerance. My resilient LGBTQ Plus IA
community, I am talking to you. I'll bet you've recognized the
spark that God put in your heart, your unique calling to
impact the world, and only a waythat you can.
A business idea brand to build, a coaching program to start.

(56:31):
The art to create. The song to sing, the book to
write. That relationship you long to
build. But that little light inside
your soul has often been blown out by the people around you,
leaving you conditioned to play small and not step into your
full potential. You are not alone and it's never

(56:53):
too late to truly live your mostauthentic dream life.
I would know. I came out late in life, nearly
30 a couple years ago after being bullied for months inside
a Country Club right outside of my weights class.
I was assaulted by a bigoted woman who couldn't stand my

(57:13):
queerness. She physically pushed me.
So I had a meeting with management.
I told them I didn't feel safe. I brought forth evidence and
guess what? They did nothing.
Sadly, this is normal. But in order to create change,
we have to be brave enough to bethe change ourselves.

(57:35):
So I did a thing. I started my own virtual Country
Club for queer women. A safe place for us to create
meaningful connections and grow.So if you're looking for a love
connection, networking opportunities or coaching to
