Mastery Unleashed Christie Ruffino

On this episode of the Mastery Unleashed podcast, host Christie Ruffino introduces Mary Ann Stenquist, a pioneer in helping people become “unshoppable” by curbing their spending habits. Mary Ann shared her personal struggle with overspending, which inspired her unique approach to financial self-control beyond traditional budgeting. She emphasized understanding the psychological triggers behind spending, particularly impulse purchases, rather than just tracking expenses after the fact.
Mary Ann’s method involves dissecting the reasons behind each unplanned purchase—whether it’s seeking a dopamine rush from a sale item or fulfilling a deeper emotional void. She advocates for a spending assessment aligned with personal values and goals rather than momentary desires, encouraging a mindful approach to financial habits.
The conversation also touched on the broader impacts of unchecked spending, like the example set for children and the cycle of materialism that can detract from more fulfilling family experiences and personal growth. Mary Ann’s insights challenge the conventional reliance on sales and bargains, pushing for a more intentional and value-driven approach to spending.
To assist listeners in identifying their spending triggers, Mary Ann offers a quiz that categorizes spending types, available through her website. This tool is part of her broader effort to build a community around the concept of becoming “unshoppable,” which includes resources and support for those looking to change their financial behaviors.

Well, what Angie does is help business owners break through that invisible glass ceiling and create 6-figure or 7-figure DAYS.
Angie believes that you, as a business owner, shouldn’t have to work so much and instead have lots of free time to do the things that are most important to you – like your family, your clients, and time just for you.
She does that by hosting transformational virtual masterclasses using her “7 Figure Framework.” It’s the same framework Russell Brunson uses to do 9-figure days.

On this episode of the Mastery Unleashed podcast, host Christie Ruffino shifts from her usual guest interviews to discuss strategic ways authors can utilize their books to enhance business revenue. If you’re a business coach, healer, or speaker looking to scale your business, having a BOOK is the ninja strategy you don’t want to ignore.
Credibility Boost: Having a published book under your belt instantly enhances your credibility as an industry expert, making it easier to attract high-quality clients and partnerships.
Long-Term Impact: Unlike digital content that can quickly fade, a book is a long-lasting asset that keeps on giving, continually reaching new audiences, and generating more leads.
Diversify Revenue: Yes, you can always monetize your expertise through book sales, but leading interested readers to high-ticket offers, or exclusive paid content will unveil unlimited streams of income.
Strategic Marketing Tool: Use your book as a powerful lead generation tool by offering it as a freebie to capture email addresses or by selling it at events and workshops.
Educational Platform: Educate your audience on a deeper level than most content allows, establishing a stronger connection and positioning your services as the solution to their needs.
Christie stresses the importance of quality in publication to ensure that the book reflects well on the author and serves its intended purpose effectively. She encourages authors to see books not just as products but as multifunctional tools that can drive business growth, enhance reputation, and provide lasting value to both the author and the reader.

Alina shares her journey from being a university instructor to becoming an entrepreneur known as the “queen of challenges.” Her first business venture was in photography, but she later pivoted to business coaching, leveraging her passion for challenges to grow her community and client base.
Alina explains that the appeal of challenges lies in community building and the excitement generated by group participation.
