EP 74: The Sprinkle Effect w/ Debbie Weiss

In this episode, we sit down with Erin O'Connor, a mindfulness teacher and founder of Happy Humans Mindfulness. Erin shares her journey from being a classroom teacher to discovering mindfulness after the unexpected loss of her husband, and how it transformed both her life and teaching. We dive into key takeaways on how mindfulness can help regulate emotions, increase self-awareness, and cultivate gratitude. Erin also explains that mindfulness is about being present with all emotions, not just the joyful ones, and offers simple practices to retrain the brain for positivity. We also touch on Human Design and its role in parenting and personal growth.   You can connect with Erin and learn more about their work by visiting the following links: https://www.happyhumansmindfulness.com https://www.instagram.com/happyhumansmindfulness https://www.facebook.com/happyhumansmindfulness

In this episode, my good friend Kali Tougas is back!  Kali's been on a journey to freedom of her own.  She recently sold her house and transitioned to a nomadic lifestyle in a 40-foot fifth-wheel RV with her family (including 4 dogs). She shares her reasons for making such a bold move—like getting out of debt and seeking a simpler life—and the challenges that came with downsizing and packing up a 2700 sq. ft. home in just three months. We also talk about the adjustments to RV life, with unexpected perks like never having to mow the lawn again!   A big part of our conversation revolves around human design and how understanding it has transformed both of our relationships with our children. We explore how different energy types—manifesters, generators, and projectors—can shape communication and parenting approaches. Emotional intelligence comes up as well, and we both emphasize the importance of allowing emotions to be expressed without judgment, for ourselves and for our kids.   I also share my own experience of finding a job that aligns with my human design, which has given me the flexibility to manage my energy and schedule in a way that feels right. Both of us agree on the value of letting go of societal conditioning and labels, embracing a more fluid and authentic approach to life.    Run your very own Human Design Chart here 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 https://www.kalitougasservices.com/human-design and join Kali and I in the Collective    Experience Membership where you can sample all kinds of different modalities (like EFT tapping, art therapy, Human Design, even Astrology!).  Check it out here 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 https://www.collectiveexperience.co/home?r_done=1 Use the coupon code 'FIRE' to save 20% on membership!

What a great conversation with Colleen Gillam, a financial planner with over 15 years of experience. We talked about how she got into the industry after studying psychology, and how that psychology background has been so valuable in helping her clients navigate the emotional side of money. Colleen shared some really insightful perspectives on the importance of going through market cycles and downturns to truly understand the ups and downs of investing. She also talked about the need for more women to get involved in financial planning, as it's still a male-dominated field. I loved Colleen's emphasis on simplifying money and not making it overly complicated. Things like ditching the "budget" mentality and instead focusing on a "spending plan" where every dollar has a job. And how money is just a tool - it's not inherently good or bad, it's how we use it that matters. Colleen and I also discussed the importance of finding a financial planner or advisor that's truly a partner, someone who will walk alongside you and explain things in a way that makes sense, rather than just trying to sell you products. It's all about empowering you to take control of your own financial future. If Colleen's message resonates with you and you'd like to connect with her, you can find her at the links below.

At the end of the day, freedom is what it's all about - being able to do what you want, with who you want, when you want. That's the true power of taking control of your money. I hope this episode has inspired you to start that journey, if you haven't already. Onwards and upwards!
