  • EP 213 | Why “Free” Financial Advice Could Be Costing You $250K
    Oct 13 2026
    Most successful women think they have their finances handled. They've got the financial advisor, the CPA, maybe even a team. But what if that team isn't coordinated? What if they're all protecting their own commissions instead of your bottom line? Eunicia Peret, founder and CEO of Excelstra, pulls back the curtain on what wealth architecture actually means and why most high earners are leaving hundreds of thousands on the table. She shares the identity crisis that came with walking away from a corporate partnership track, the moment her husband's integrity shaped her entire business philosophy, and why paying taxes doesn't mean what most physicians think it means. This isn't about earning more. It's about exposing the leaks you didn't know were draining your wealth while you were busy building it. Key Timestamps [00:04:32] Meet Eunicia Peret [00:08:15] The Identity Shift from Corporate to Entrepreneur [00:13:47] What Is Wealth Architecture? [00:18:22] The Three Pillars of Wealth Strategy [00:26:41] Women & Money: Why Smart Women Still Get Taken Advantage Of [00:32:18] Rebuilding Trust After Financial Disappointment [00:38:55] Taxes & Generosity: The Physician Who Thought She Was Helping [00:45:10] Vision for Women & Wealth Memorable Quotes "The financial services industry doesn't play nice with each other. Your financial manager, your wealth manager, is not going to want your money to move to private investments. They're not gonna want your money to move to alternative investments, to alternative financial vehicles. The reason for that is because that's how they get compensated." – Eunicia Peret [00:18:22] "Trust is something that is quickly eroding, and too many companies are becoming or have become more and more transactional. They hide behind the 'Trust us, we'll take care of things,' versus to us, trust is more; we take it beyond even somebody potentially working with us. If that trust isn't there from the get-go, should we even have a conversation?" – Eunicia Peret [00:32:18] Eunicia Peret Eunicia Peret is the Founder and CEO of Excelstra, a wealth strategy consulting firm that helps high-achieving professionals and business owners transform fragmented financial advice into coordinated wealth architecture.

  • EP 212 | Give God Your Calendar: A Prayer for Time Management and Peace
    Oct 8 2026
    There's a lie that sneaks in quietly: that you're too busy, that other things matter more, that the visions and missions God gave you will have to wait. But time isn't just a productivity problem. It's a spiritual one. In this episode, Rae walks you through the two-week time and energy audit that has become a revelation for so many. It's not about optimizing your calendar. It's about seeing where God is already present in your days and where the enemy has convinced you to look away. This is about obedience, clarity, and the grace to tweak what needs tweaking. You'll hear a prayer that rebukes distraction, invites healing, and surrenders the structure of your life back to the One who designed it. If you've been feeling the pressure of misalignment, this is your reset.

  • EP 211 | Why Being Busy Is Keeping You From Your God-Given Calling
    Oct 6 2026
    Rae had a book that was 95% done. God had called her to write it years ago. And she was sitting on it, filling her days with everything else, wondering why she felt burnt out and stuck. This episode is a mirror. It's about the hours you can't account for, the mission you keep saying you'll get to, and the way busyness protects you from the one thing that would actually move everything forward. Rae walks you through the exact time and energy audit she uses with every client, the reframes that shift how you see your calendar, and the questions that reveal whether you're stewarding your life or just surviving it. If you've been waiting for permission to get honest about where your time is actually going, this is it. Key Timestamps [00:03:15] The 10 questions to ask yourself about how you're spending your time [00:08:42] Why Rae needed this audit: the 95% ready book she was sitting on [00:15:30] How the time and energy audit works [00:19:45] Why you need 20% margin in your schedule [00:24:00] How to track your time for 7 to 14 days [00:30:20] The five-point genius zone system [00:32:40] Identify your one thing and reverse engineer from there Memorable Quotes "Being burnt out is when you're actually working too hard on the wrong things. When you are in alignment with God, and you are working on something that he is also in full alignment with, we don't get burned out when we're doing those things." – Rae Irelan [00:13:45] “God doesn't measure your faithfulness just by how full your calendar is. He measures it by the obedience to what He has called you to do and not anything else." – Rae Irelan [00:23:45] Connect With the Host Website: https://raeirelan.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raeirelan/ Join the Evolved Influence Academy Community today! https://www.skool.com/evolved-influence-academy/about?ref=28c7243ce169469eb9979bbc4226a76a Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  • EP 210 | A Prayer for Visibility and Creative Breakthrough
    Oct 1 2026
    Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do before you build, launch, or show up is stop and ask for help. This prayer is for the creator, the entrepreneur, the woman who knows she's meant for more visibility but needs divine guidance on how to step into it with intention and grace. Rae prays over your next steps in visibility, marketplace strategy, and creative energy. She asks God to bless the work of your hands, the words you speak, and the relationships you're building. This isn't about doing more. It's about inviting God's fingerprints into everything you touch so it can be multiplied beyond what you could do alone.

  • EP 209 | The Woman Behind Marvel's Storytelling on Why AI Can't Replace You
    Sep 29 2026
    Ruheene Jaura spent 16 years shaping narratives for Marvel blockbusters and launching products for Apple. Then she walked away. Not because the work wasn't good, but because she saw something most people miss: the best ideas in the world stay invisible when the people behind them don't know how to be seen.This conversation isn't about building a personal brand. It's about the gap between what you know and who knows you know it. Ruheene breaks down the exact research and data strategies that billion-dollar brands use to stay visible, and how solo entrepreneurs and small agencies can access the same tools without the same budget. She also gets honest about the cost of entrepreneurship that nobody warns you about: the confidence tax of starting over, the trap of throwing away your expertise, and the moment someone told her she only mattered because of them.If you've ever felt like your ideas deserve a bigger stage, this episode will show you what's actually standing in the way. Key Timestamps[00:02:15] Introduction and Ruheene's background with Marvel and Apple [00:11:20] Why imposter syndrome makes you throw away your expertise [00:18:30] Big sister vs. business advice for feeling invisible [00:22:10] Standing out in the AI era [00:39:15] The 10/80/10 rule: Let AI do the doing [00:46:00] Will people get left behind without AI? Memorable Quotes "Each of us have unique lived experiences that make us an expert that nobody else can replace. And especially in this world of AI, like replacing everyone and replacing everything, it's really hard to replace you if you lean into all of the lived experiences that you have." – Ruheene Jaura [00:14:52] "ChatGPT is giving every one of you, no matter how much you think ChatGPT knows you, it's giving you all the same answers, which means you're building brands that sound like everybody else's. And the whole point of a brand is to stand out." – Ruheene Jaura [00:21:35] "Your personal brand is that equity that you're building over the course of your lifetime, your career, because that's what's gonna travel with you from job to job, career to career, role to role, business to business." – Ruheene Jaura [00:33:45] Grab a free account at https://brandpod.ai and find out exactly which podcasts, publications and events are looking for your expertise right now.

She saw brilliant entrepreneurs, artists, and experts staying invisible, their world-changing ideas lost simply because they lacked the storytelling tools of billion-dollar brands. Today, she dedicates herself to leveling the playing field, transforming the "best-kept secrets" in every industry into the voices that lead us forward.

  • EP 207 | A Prayer to Break Every Lie About Your Health
    Sep 24 2026
    Health isn't a one-time fix. It's a daily choice to live set apart, even when it's harder than the alternative. In this prayer-focused episode, Rae Irelan invites you into a moment of spiritual warfare over your well-being, asking God to multiply the extra effort it takes to live intentionally healthy in a world that makes it anything but easy. This isn't about hacks or quick wins. It's about claiming your health as holy ground, breaking off enemy lies about your body, and showing up fully alive for the assignment God has placed on your life. If you've been carrying health struggles or simply need the energy to go against the grain, this prayer is for you.

  • The Habits Behind My 'Glow' That No One Ever Asks About
    Sep 22 2026
    For nearly a decade, Rae's head was in the toilet multiple times a day. She was a trained dancer, a vegetarian, and someone who believed perfection was worth any sacrifice. She didn't understand consequences then. She does now. This episode isn't about clean eating tips or morning routines. It's about what happens when you stop performing health and start listening to your body. Rae shares the protocols that pulled her out of disordered eating, mold toxicity, and nervous system chaos: fifty grams of protein per meal, no alarm clocks, intuitive fasting, and a daily practice of asking God to wake her up. She talks about the functional health tests that shocked her, the supplements that backfired, and why she doesn't drink anymore (mostly). If you've ever felt like your body was working against you, or like you had to control everything to feel safe, this one's for you. Key Timestamps [00:03:15] The decade-long bulimia struggle and being a vegetarian during the eating disorder years [00:05:30] Why fifty grams of protein every meal changed everything [00:13:40] Intuitive eating and unlearning rigid health patterns after an eating disorder [00:18:25] Adapting sleep habits: eating earlier, getting off screens by sunset, circadian rhythm alignment [00:24:15] Lifting weights four times a week as a mental game, not just physical training [00:30:45] Red light bulbs, organic everything, and microplastics awareness Memorable Quotes "I just wanted to be perfect. I wanted to be the best I could be, and I was willing to sacrifice everything and anything because I didn't understand consequences at that time of my life." – Rae Irelan [00:00:42] "For me, working out is really a mental game. It's all about my mind. It's not necessarily about pushing my body to the limit. It's about getting into the rhythm of doing something hard and knowing I can do something hard." – Rae Irelan [00:25:10] Connect With the Host Website: https://raeirelan.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raeirelan/ Join the Evolved Influence Academy Community today! https://www.skool.com/evolved-influence-academy/about?ref=28c7243ce169469eb9979bbc4226a76a Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com Learn more about your ad choices.
