308. Money Meetings at Work & Home (Part 2): Monthly Meeting Agendas

Money meetings don’t work when they’re reactive, emotional, or inconsistent. In this episode, we walk through the exact framework we use for monthly money meetings at home and in business, from updating your net worth to reviewing spending, planning ahead, and setting one clear financial priority.We break down how these meetings neutralize the emotion around money, create alignment with your partner or team, and help you make proactive decisions instead of reactive ones. We talk through preparing for big upcoming expenses, handling unexpected income, setting intentional giving goals, and why manually engaging with your numbers matters more than full automation. We also take you inside the rhythm of a monthly P&L meeting and explain how curiosity, budgeting, and clean systems protect profit as you scale.If you want your money to support both a big business and a big life, this is a rhythm worth committing to.Resources:Monarch Money Join Her Best Life.

Ever set big money goals and then wonder why nothing really changes? We’ve all been there. In this episode, we kick off a two-part series on the rhythm of accountability around money, and why consistent money meetings at home and in your business are the difference between hoping and actually building wealth.We talk about why wealthy people don’t wing it, they track it, and how attention plus intention changes everything. From weekly budget check-ins and monthly net worth meetings at home, to cash flow reviews, P&Ls, and sales pipeline health in your business, we walk through the real conversations that keep money neutral, strategic, and working for you. We also dig into why money is emotional, how systems reduce friction with partners and teams, and how small, regular check-ins prevent those “gradually then suddenly” moments.If you want your money to stop running on autopilot and start fueling your long-term vision, this is where it starts. Press play, take notes, and come back next week for the full breakdown of how to run each meeting.Resources:The Psychology of Money by Morgan HouselJoin Her Best Life.

If you’re in a season where it feels like one more thing might break you, this conversation is for you. We’re sitting down with Jay Papasan, New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of The ONE Thing Company, for a candid look at what it means to lead when life doesn’t let up.Jay shares what the last several years have really looked like behind the scenes, and how those experiences shaped a set of “lighthouses” he now uses to navigate tough storms. We talk about how high achievers spiral into self-criticism, why old standards can become impossible anchors, and how recalibrating expectations can keep you from drowning. Jay also unpacks what it means to re-engineer your village on purpose by cultivating friendships deep enough to call in the middle of the night and creating intentional rituals that keep your support system strong before the next hard season hits.If you’re building a big business and trying to live a bigger life, this episode will help you stay grounded, stay honest, and keep moving forward with support.Resources:Visit The ONE ThingListen to The ONE Thing PodcastLearn more about Her Best LifeExplore Empire Circle Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Ever look up and realize the bar has quietly dropped—then wonder how you fix it without crushing morale? We’ve been there, and in this episode, we walk through a simple, repeatable reset that brings standards back with clarity, care, and real ownership.We’re breaking down a five-step framework Sarah implemented in real time after noticing a massive performance gap across locations—same headcount, wildly different results. We talk about why the standard is only as high as the least-accountable person on the team, and why the first move is to own it as leaders (no blame, no drama). From there, we revisit the standard and the “why,” lead with care (because accountability is a gift), and invite people to recommit—or opt out—so everyone’s aligned going forward. Finally, we circle back with compassion to reinforce that this isn’t punishment, it’s partnership.We also share the personal standards we’re resetting for 2026—from in-person meetings, to lead gen blocks, to consistent 411s, to protecting creative input—so you can choose what you’re recommitting to next.Resources:Join Her Best Life.

Some lessons shape us long before we ever call ourselves leaders. In this episode, we revisit the unexpected teacher who influenced a generation of women from living rooms across America: Judge Judy. What started as a nostalgic moment for Seychelle turned into a powerful reflection on how this fierce, unapologetic woman modeled agency, negotiation, boundaries, and integrity in a world where women were only beginning to access financial and professional autonomy. Together, we unpack the eight life and leadership lessons Judge Judy embodied—from knowing your worth and negotiating from strength to demanding clarity, leading with integrity, trusting your gut, and choosing your circle wisely. We talk about her belief that “if you tell the truth, you don’t have to have a good memory,” her push for personal responsibility, and her unapologetic authenticity that inspired women everywhere to own who they are. We even revisit some of her most iconic moments, including “That’s not an answer” and “Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.”This episode is a reminder that it’s never too late to start something new, to leverage your expertise in unexpected ways, and to show up fully as yourself. If you’re building a big business and a bigger life, these timeless lessons still hold up—and they’ll sharpen your leadership today.Resources:Judge Judy (Facebook Page)Her Best LifeEmpire CircleConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Ever had a moment where someone casually says something—and it completely cracks open what you believed was possible? That’s exactly where today’s episode begins. We’re talking about the surprising, perspective-shifting stories that helped each of us realize: “I didn’t know I could do that.”We talk about the rules we thought we had to follow, the expectations we carried from childhood, and the “joy moments” that led us to start designing lives we truly wanted. From month-long family travel and year-long worldschooling, to taking sabbaticals, reclaiming weekends, planning multigenerational trips, starting hobbies now instead of “someday,” and gifting our kids meaningful coming-of-age challenges—each story shows how one permission slip can reshape everything. We also talk about smaller breakthroughs that matter just as much, like taking a weekly day off in real estate, surprising your kids after school, or carving out intentional space during seasons of caregiving.This episode is an invitation: What are the things you’ve always wanted to do but assumed you couldn’t? And what happens when you stop saying “I can’t” and start asking “How could I?” Building a big business matters—but the bigger life you create along the way is what you’ll remember most.Resources:Her Best LifeEmpire CircleConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to unlock opportunities effortlessly while others feel stuck on an island, this conversation is for you. Today we’re joined by USA Today bestselling author and high-value relationships expert Selena Soo to unpack the core framework behind her new book Rich Relationships, and the truth that one rich relationship is more valuable than a hundred casual connections. Selena walks us through the six circles of connection and why discernment is the foundation of building a thriving, supportive, aligned network. We explore how to identify the people who want to see you win, how to gently distance yourself from relationships that drain or distract you, and how to intentionally deepen the ones that move your life and business forward. She also shares the three characteristics every rich relationship carries—respect, responsiveness, and a genuine desire for your success—and why these relationships create exponential financial, emotional, and strategic returns.We also dive into breathtaking generosity, the art of becoming a “pain detective,” and how to show up with the kind of thoughtful, meaningful support that transforms lives. Selena reveals how to be a dream amplifier for the people you care about, how to express yourself even if you’re introverted, and why most entrepreneurs stay stuck simply because the right people don’t know what they want. Resources:Rich Relationships BookHer Best LifeEmpire CircleConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

This week, we’re diving into a strategy that has helped Sarah’s team move hundreds of listings even in a real estate recession: the Online Broker’s Open.

You’ll learn how to gather top agents on a Zoom call, what to review first (spoiler: it’s photos), and how to evaluate if your remarks actually spark emotion—or if they’re just generic filler. We also walk through how to analyze showing data, identify price problems, and present those findings to a seller in a way that strengthens your value and moves them toward the right decision.If your listings need momentum, this strategy gives you leverage, collaboration, and clarity—all in under an hour.
