    The Hidden Money Stories Behind Your Financial Decisions – with Carrie KC West

    Your money decisions are not coming from logic. They are coming from a story you did not consciously choose.  Here is how to see it clearly. Most money patterns do not start with strategy. They start with a story, one you absorbed before you had language for it.   In this episode, Michal McCracken is joined by Carrie KC West, founder of the Rewritten Collection and author of Money Rewritten. Drawing on her background in story analysis, Carrie helps people identify the hidden narratives shaping their financial lives and consciously choose new ones.   What you will take away: How to recognise when you are inside a money story, including the avoidance patterns most people mistake for practical decisionsHow generational and cultural conditioning shapes your current relationship with moneyWhy major life events like selling a business, getting married, or changing careers tend to surface the patterns you did not know you were carryingHow stripping money back to its baseline can help reduce the fear and noise around itWhat it actually looks like to start rewriting a money narrative in a grounded, sustainable way  This conversation is for the woman who knows her money behaviour does not fully match her intentions, and wants to understand why.

This episode is for the high-achieving woman who keeps taking action but keeps hitting the same income ceiling.

    Health, wealth, and self-worth are deeply connected. Nancy Griffin shares how women can stop delaying themselves, ask better questions, and build a wealth plan that supports health, legacy, and long-term impact.   Health, wealth, and self-worth are often treated as separate conversations.

    Nervous System Burnout: Why Strategy Suddenly Stops Working

    Your strategy isn’t broken. Your nervous system may just be protecting you from burnout. In this episode, we unpack why capable entrepreneurs suddenly stall and how nervous system regulation restores clarity, momentum, and sustainable business growth.   There’s a moment in many businesses where strategy suddenly stops working even when the plan is right.  In this episode, Michal McCracken explores why experienced entrepreneurs can suddenly feel stuck, overwhelmed, or hesitant even when they know exactly what to do.  When the body perceives growth as pressure, it begins protecting you through distraction, overthinking, procrastination, or exhaustion. If you have ever delayed a launch, lowered your prices without a clear reason, or questioned your own clarity mid strategy, this conversation will likely resonate. This episode is for high performing women building businesses who want sustainable growth without burnout. You will learn: • Why you can know exactly what to do in your business and still feel stuck  • The sneaky ways your nervous system stalls you out when pressure gets too high  • Why adding more strategy often makes burnout worse, not better  • What actually helps you grow your business without constantly pushing   Michal also shares the deeper work behind Rewired to Rich, where entrepreneurs rebuild their relationship with money, pressure, and growth so their business can expand without constant stress   Click here to learn more about Rewired To Rich  The podcast is proudly sponsored by JuicyCRM.
