Ever wonder why money won’t land no matter how hard you hustle? We sat down with conscious wealth mentor Karen Baines to flip the script: alignment isn’t about efforting; it’s about how your daily choices broadcast your value to the universe. Karen maps out her Wheel of Alignment—money, time, and you—and makes a surprising case that money is usually the least misaligned area. The friction starts upstream with how you spend time and how you hold boundaries, and the fix is refreshingly practical.

We dig into the difference between soul desires that linger and ego wants that chase image, then get tactical about turning resonance into results. Karen explains why the universe reads the frequency of your doing, not your thoughts, and how feelings act as a GPS for aligned action. You’ll learn to spot the dysfunctional quartet—obligation, sacrifice, resentment, guilt—and consciously shift toward freedom, support, and creative power. She breaks down the stretch zone, breadcrumb tracking, and the three-to-five-month window for grounding a new normal so your life and business start reflecting your deepest priorities.

If you’re a heart-led entrepreneur or a curious creator, you’ll leave with a simple plan: protect your time, honor your body, set clean boundaries, and make one freedom-forward choice this week. Money follows value, and value is something you demonstrate, not affirm.

Grab Karen’s free Wheel of Alignment scorecard, identify your biggest leverage point, and start rewiring your days for abundance.

Want a new year with resolutions that doesn’t fall apart by February? Go straight to sustainable change by making peace with right now so your goals have solid ground. Instead of forcing quick wins that fade, we explore how acceptance turns desire into a steady practice. True growth feels like a spiral, where you revisit old patterns with new wisdom, not the same you.

Together we unpack the difference between change and transformation, sharing candid stories from our health and money journeys. Catherine talks about the cost of an easeful retirement and how intentional systems beat impulse every time. Brenda brings the body into focus, walking through strength training at home, catching the urge to skip, and choosing the smallest next step that still builds self-trust. We get practical about calendars, trainers, grocery lists, and automatic transfers. These are so helpful when motivation dips.

You’ll hear how to spot the inner critic’s “radio” and change the station without drama, how to honor the grief that comes with new commitments, and how to ask cleaner questions: Where am I right now? What do I want? What is one action I can take today? If your resolutions are big but your energy wobbles, this conversation will help you create a kinder, more effective path forward. Take one small vote at a time for the life you want.

Tell us: what desire are you backing this week?

Desire becomes sustainable when we “back ourselves” with simple systems.

Highlights:
• acceptance as the foundation for change
• the spiral of growth rather than backsliding
• moving from self-criticism to self-trust
• systems that make follow-through easier
• naming the true cost of your desires
• grief and closure inside new commitments
• catching and changing the inner critic channel
• choosing one next step you can do today

The moments that change our lives rarely shout; they whisper through breath, pulse, tightness, and ease. We designed this guided mini toolbox to help you hear those whispers and turn them into choices you trust.

Across a calm, grounded practice, we slow down your nervous system, contrast the felt sense of yes versus no, and translate sensation into a clean, honest response you can act on today.

This episode is a guided meditation designed to help you feel the difference between a true yes and no. You get to practice slowing down and putting your attention on your body while working with a real life choice so sensation becomes clear guidance. You leave with embodied clarity, stronger self trust, and one simple next step rooted in desire instead of pressure.

Highlights:
• why knowing yes and no builds trust with self and others
• breath, relaxation, and access to body cues
• contrast practice of imagining yes vs no
• mapping sensations like expansion, tightness, and flutter
• aligning choices with capacity and becoming
• choosing a clean, simple action without overexplaining
• integrating sensations and returning to the room
• permission to change your mind while staying honest

You can find our handles in the show notes. We'd love to hear from you.
