    S1 E34 How to Rebuild Trust in Relationships, Parenting & Business

    In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa is joined by Rosalie Salamone, founder of Dedita Recruitment Consultant, for a powerful conversation about rebuilding trust, parenting with intention, creating open communication and building relationships that are rooted in honesty and follow-through. Rosalie has spent over two decades helping people navigate their careers and make meaningful connections in their work.

Inside this episode, we talk about: ✔ What to do when trust is broken✔ Why rebuilding trust takes time✔ How to hold boundaries without controlling your kids✔ Why parents do not need to have everything figured out✔ The difference between being friendly and being the parent✔ How transparency builds trust in business✔ Why relationships matter in recruiting, leadership, parenting, and life This conversation is especially powerful if you are a parent, leader, business owner, recruiter, or anyone navigating relationships where honesty, responsibility, and trust matter. Because trust is easy to talk about. But when it breaks, the real work begins. 🔗 Connect with Rosalie Salamone on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosaliesalamone/ 🔗 Connect with Larisa Website:https://myabundanceacademy.ca/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/ LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/larisa-makuch/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch Join the Unleash Your Abundance Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/unleashyourabundancenow

    S1 E33 How to Manage Screen Time Without Meltdowns: Dopamine, Attention & Smoother Transitions

    If screen time turns into meltdowns, bargaining, “one more video,” or a full emotional crash when it’s time to turn the device off… this episode is for you. And this isn’t just for kids. Adults get pulled into phones, email, social media, streaming, shopping, and “just checking one thing” too. In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa breaks down what screens do to attention, dopamine, motivation, reward systems, and transitions — and how to make screen time smoother without turning devices into the enemy. You’ll learn: ✔ Why not all screen time is the same✔ How dopamine affects motivation, reward, and attention✔ Why video games, YouTube, and social media can be so hard to stop✔ Why reading, boredom, and quiet activities feel so different✔ What the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends families consider✔ Why “boredom is not an emergency”✔ How to prevent screen-time meltdowns before they happen✔ A simple 5-step transition system for kids and adults The big idea: The transition does not begin when the screen shuts off. It begins when the screen turns on. If you want less chaos, smoother endings, and more peaceful transitions, this episode will help you use devices with more intention — without throwing every screen into a lake. 🎵 Listen to Lukian’s song, Love Multiplies Freely:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FFm_I9kaS0 ✨ Join the 5-Minute Miracles MasterclassLearn simple, practical resets to interrupt overwhelm, shift your energy, and regain control in the middle of your real day. 🔗 Connect with Larisa Website:https://myabundanceacademy.ca/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/ LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/larisa-makuch/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch Join the Unleash Your Abundance Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/unleashyourabundancenow

    S1 E29 The Root Cause: Why You Keep Recreating the Same Problems

    In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa Makuch explores the root cause behind recurring problems like procrastination, overwhelm, inconsistency, perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance, and self-sabotage. Because often, the problem you think is the problem… isn’t the real problem. It’s the surface symptom. The real issue may be an unconscious pattern, old belief, emotional charge, identity attachment, or protective strategy quietly running the show. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔ Why being smart doesn’t make you immune to unconscious patterns✔ The difference between a presenting problem and a root cause✔ Why quick fixes, habits, and strategies often don’t create lasting change✔ How self-sabotage may actually be self-protection✔ Why breakthrough work requires insight, action, focus, and evidence✔ A powerful journaling question to uncover the pattern underneath the pattern The question to sit with: What do I already know that I’m pretending not to know? If you’ve been managing the same problem for too long, this episode will help you stop blaming yourself and start looking deeper. Because you don’t need another year of managing the same pattern. You may need to change it at the root. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌟 Ultimate Breakthrough Masterclass Want to understand how root-cause change actually works?

    S1 E27 How to Turn Inspiration Into Action (And Finally Build Momentum)

    Have you ever felt inspired, motivated, and ready to make a change... only to find yourself in the exact same place a few days later? You're not alone. In this episode of The Abundance Effect, Larisa explores the critical difference between inspiration and getting it done—and why so many smart, capable, high-achieving people get stuck between the two. Inspired by an unexpected lesson from her 8-year-old son, Lukian, Larisa shares a simple but powerful truth: Inspiration is a feeling. Motion is a decision followed by action. You'll discover why inspiration alone doesn't create results, how overthinking destroys momentum, and what it really takes to build confidence, consistency, and follow-through. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔ Why inspiration without action feels productive but changes nothing ✔ The hidden reason momentum disappears ✔ How overthinking creates a gap between intention and execution ✔ Why completion builds confidence ✔ How to focus on what matters most instead of chasing every idea ✔ The simple shift that helps you move from knowing to doing Plus, you'll hear the story behind Love Multiplies Freely, a song Lukian wrote in a single afternoon that perfectly demonstrates what happens when inspiration is immediately put into motion. 🎵 Listen to Lukian's song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FFm_I9kaS0 If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, inconsistent, or frustrated by your lack of follow-through, this episode is for you. Because momentum isn't built by knowing more. It's built by moving on what you already know. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 CONNECT WITH LARISA Websitehttps://myabundanceacademy.ca/ Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/myabundanceacademy/ Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/larisa.makuch Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/unleashyourabundancenow ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ About The Abundance Effect The Abundance Effect is a personal growth, mindset, productivity, and self-improvement podcast hosted by Larisa Makuch.
