Freedom Doula and Pleasure activist Kalah Hill is the founder of In Pleasure We Trust. Kalah rests in trusting that when people affirm and integrate their pleasure, freedom will be born. She is a guide of equanimity, truth, and solidarity. Through her many years as a student of trust, Kalah regenerates space with her clients with care and sweet rootedness.

In her work she unravels the illusions of systemic oppression that create communities of conformity and insatiability. Kalah’s experience and facilitation ranges over the course of the last 15 years.

In this episode, Josephine Phoenix talks about how money intersects with many areas of her life, including her self worth, spirituality and relationships. She discusses how her relationship with money continues to evolve through different chapters of her life and how her predisposition toward optimism helps her stay balanced in times of stress. She also openly discusses extremely relatable stories she's told herself about her perceived worth and her money. 

Josephine is a musician, creative actor, and performer living in NYC and Miami. She brings both humor and deep wisdom to her storytelling, and you're going to love her infectious energy. There are so many gems in this episode!

• Knee jerk reactions to tell people, "I got it on sale!"
• Intersecting racial identities that impact wealth mindset 
• Healing money stories through therapy
• Discomfort of "belonging" in luxury spaces

When we talk about money manifestation, it's also very important to talk about the healing work that's involved in the process. In this episode, mindset coach, Sydney Smith, talks about how she works with clients to heal their relationship with money by first inviting them to release the shame about their current financial reality and then to observe the stories they're telling themselves that hold them back from manifesting more money. 

Sydney is an intuitive business coach on a mission to help people tap into their inner wisdom and live a life of freedom and fulfillment.

In this episode, we also talk about:

• How to do clearing work before moving into manifestation. 
• Money manifestation and energetic minimums. 
• Ebb and flow in entrepreneurship.

This is a special episode with Sara Powell who talks about how self love and financial abundance coincided after a dark night of the soul experience. She talks about how coming back to self love was the catalyst that began to align so many new opportunities for growth and abundance. I love how Sara shares her story so openly and vulnerably. You’ll hear how she went through several different seasons with money and career that impacted her life.

Sara discovered her passion for social entrepreneurship while supporting a project in India to curb human trafficking and later went on to co-found a clean water social enterprise in Ethiopia. Over the past 10+ years she has provided strategic guidance to nonprofits, social entrepreneurs, and government agencies globally as a consultant for Accenture, director of strategy and COO for a digital consultancy, and as a guest lecturer and mentor. She is currently building a social enterprise called Impactury that aligns strategy and purpose to empower social enterprises to sustainably tackle poverty.

We also talk about:

• Money triggers that occur when dating.
• Navigating a dark night of the soul.
• The phenomenon of underspending out of fear.
• Using tools like meditation to come back to self.

Do you speak money mindset? In my work with clients, I've learned that there are some common blocks when learning the language of healthy money mindset.

One of these blocks has to do with managing money and the belief that they need to have MORE money before they can learn how to manage it. But, I argue that the opposite is true. You want to practice managing your money with whatever amount you have right now in order to learn how to be great at it when more money starts pouring in.

In the episode I also talk about how to gain more traction with your money mindset in a few different ways:

• Starting very small
• Incorporating meaningful practice
• Honoring your money trauma and triggers (rather than pushing through them)

In this episode, I talk about my recent decision to leave my corporate job and the feelings of uncertainty that followed. I talk about how I work to befriend uncertainty, rather than try to avoid it or grasp at something to immediately fill the void.

I’m not sure what’s coming next for me. It may very well be another corporate job that helps me learn and grow, but ultimately, I am on the path toward entrepreneurship. I’m letting go of the need to control how I get there, and leaning into the beautiful possibility of the unknown.

In this episode, Erin Monahan talks about internalized capitalism and anti capitalist business models. We discuss how to build more ethical, inclusive businesses starting with our own. It’s such a powerful conversation that every conscious entrepreneur should listen to.

Erin Monahan, she/her, is a trauma-informed, astrology and tarot obsessed, mindset coach, certified Trauma of Money facilitator, writer, speaker, and founder of Vesta Business School, as well as Terra Incognita Media.

She’s also a feminist killjoy, proud slut, and podcast host of OFF THE DEEP. Her mission in life is to guide fellow spiritual, anti-girlboss, anti-capitalist entrepreneurs toward building businesses that support their emotional and financial well-being without compromising their values.

In this new series, I explore the experience of growing a healthy money mindset. I take a deep dive into ways that we can start to cultivate more emotionally resilient money mindsets. 

In this first lesson, I talk about a common pitfall of money mindset work: Gaslighting. So often we hear about creating affirmations around what we're most desiring in our financial reality, but if we're not careful, it can lead to our inner bully running the show. 

I offer a few ways to bring in more compassionate baby steps into cultivating a healthier money mindset by using the following tactics:

• Identity formation rather than affirmations.
• Acknowledging money trauma.
• Tending to the inner child.

I recently had a Harmony session with Amanda, and it was truly transformative. Amanda has a gift for conveying intuitively led business coaching, and I came away from the experience revitalized and with so much clarity about where to next take my own business.

In this episode, I’m sharing the interview I did with the Clever Girls Know podcast by Clever Girl Finance, and I’m re-publishing the episode with their permission.

My first solo episode is all about my personal cycles of overspending. After years of creating the ingrained spending behaviors, it took a few more years to identify the pattern in a way that was useful for me to understand my own spending habits. I can now look at the pattern with objectivity and see it for exactly what it was: a comfort zone.

In the episode, I talk through the 9 different phases of overspending:

1. Payday hits
2. Spending begins
3. Treat myself
4. The come down
5. Denial
6. Loss of power
7. Reality sets in
8. Shame spiral
9. Payday hits & the cycle begins again
