Manifest, Manage & Multiply Money is a podcast for women entrepreneurs building multi-six and seven-figure businesses who want honest conversations about money, mindset, and wealth.With fewer than 5% of women-owned businesses reaching multi-six figures and only 1.7% reaching seven figures, this podcast amplifies the voices of women who are building at the highest levels — and explores what it truly takes to get there.Through candid, unscripted conversations with successful women business owners, the show examines how wealth is manifested, managed, and multiplied, including the identity shifts, leadership decisions, and inner work that support sustainable financial success. Rather than focusing on tactics alone, this podcast centers on lived experience, mindset, and the personal evolution behind building real wealth.

    Two Years Ago She Was Stuck. Today She's Multi-Seven Figures: Kim Mohr on the Capacity Problem That Changed Everything

    What does it actually take to go from being on the cusp of seven figures to building a thriving multi-seven figure legacy business? In this episode of Manifest, Manage & Multiply Money, Audrey Faust sits down with Kim Mohr, founder and principal designer of Dream House Studios, a luxury residential interior design firm she has grown over two decades into a nearly entirely word of mouth practice serving custom home and legacy renovation clients across Maryland. Kim is also a former client of Audrey's, and her transformation is one of the most powerful examples of what becomes possible when a business owner finally lets go of doing it all alone. Two years ago Kim was on the fence about even continuing her business. She was stuck in scarcity and fear, convinced the only path to success was working harder and longer hours. Then came the moment that changed everything. You don't have a business problem. You have a capacity problem. That single reframe became Kim's lightbulb moment, and it sparked a transformation that took her from a solo designer doing everything herself to a CEO building a business with a real succession plan, a growing team, and the freedom to take a month long trip without the business missing a beat. In this conversation Kim opens up about growing up with money shame, putting groceries back in the store as a kid, and how getting choosy with clients actually doubled her revenue. She also shares the moment an investor asked her a question that changed the entire trajectory of her business: if something happens to you, who is running the show? If you have ever believed that working harder is the only way to grow, this episode will show you a completely different path.

    My Worth Is Tied to Who I Am Not What I Do: How Molly Jones Built a Seven Figure Architecture Firm by Stopping the Effort and Trusting the Universe

    What if the thing standing between you and your next level wasn't more effort — but less? In this episode of Manifest, Manage & Multiply Money, Audrey Faust sits down with Molly Jones, seven figure CEO, founder of Jones Design Studio, national chair of the Design Build Institute of America's owner advisor committee, and founder of Mojo Mysticism, a spiritual coaching practice helping others remember who they truly are. Molly spent years hitting the same ceiling in her architecture firm. She tried coaching programs, did the inner work, and still couldn't break through. Until she realized the one subconscious block she hadn't fully addressed: her worth was tied to how much she did. The moment she decided that was no longer true — that her worth was tied to who she was, not what she produced — everything fell into place. In this conversation Molly shares her unforgettable counting Elvis's story, how a voice she heard crossing Las Vegas Boulevard predicted exactly where she would be four years later, why she stopped doing hourly work entirely and transitioned to value based pricing, and what happened when she started bringing love into her architecture practice. This is one of the most spiritually rich and practically grounded conversations on this podcast yet.

    What if the thing quietly capping your income is completely invisible to you? In this episode of Manifest, Manage & Multiply Money, Audrey Faust sits down with Carol Look, psychotherapist, founding EFT master, and multi-six-figure CEO who has spent 25 years helping people release the limiting beliefs, emotional conflicts, and self-sabotage behaviors standing between them and the success they want. Carol grew up watching her father struggle with money, fight over it, and ultimately die in debt. Those early experiences shaped everything — her beliefs about scarcity, her income ceilings, and the guilt that came with outearning everyone around her. In this conversation she opens up about the moment she realized she had made the exact same income two years in a row without knowing why, what she did to break through, and how she went on to build a thriving multi-six-figure practice entirely without social media. Carol also shares her powerful framework for emotional abundance, why the energy of chasing is the energy of lack, and how gratitude combined with EFT tapping changed everything about how she relates to money and success. If you have ever felt like you had one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake, this episode will help you understand exactly why.

  6. She Heard "There's Not Enough" Her Whole Life — and Internalized It as "I'm Not Enough": Danielle Marggraf on Healing the Root of Every Money Block

    May 26

    She Heard "There's Not Enough" Her Whole Life — and Internalized It as "I'm Not Enough": Danielle Marggraf on Healing the Root of Every Money Block

    What if your money problem isn't really about money at all? In this episode of Manifest, Manage & Multiply Money, Audrey Faust sits down with Danielle Marggraf, founder of the Embodied Women Movement, for a deeply transformative conversation about the real root of money blocks — and why healing them requires going into the body, not just the mind. Danielle grew up in a household where the constant message was there's not enough. But what she internalized wasn't a belief about money. It was a belief about herself. I'm not enough. That distinction — and the somatic work she found to heal it — took her from a terrifying bottoming out of homelessness as a single mom to her first $154,000 year and a thriving multi-six-figure business. In this episode, Danielle breaks down what somatic work actually is, why wealth is a state the body has to learn to hold, and what it really means to receive — not as a reward for doing and giving, but as a birthright. She also shares her powerful reframe on why mothering is actually masculine energy, and what it looks like to create from overflow instead of survival. If you've done all the mindset work and wondered why it still isn't working, this episode will change how you approach everything. Chapters 00:00 — Empowering women through wealth and identity06:08 — Breaking barriers: from scarcity to abundance11:49 — Shifting from doing to receiving18:01 — Creating a life of overflow and abundanceIn This Episode, You'll Learn: Why hearing "there's not enough" can become "I'm not enough" — and how that shows up in your businessWhat somatic work actually is and why it works from the body up, not the mind downWhy wealth is a state — and why you can't hold it if your body is still in survival modeHow Danielle went from homelessness as a single mom to her first $154,000 yearWhy receiving is a birthright, not something you earn through givingHow mothering is actually masculine energy — and what that means for women in businessWhy healing and creating must happen simultaneously — not one before the otherHow to make business decisions from your future self, not your current selfGuest Free Gift If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, your money, or your sense of enough, Danielle Marggraf's Three Minute Somatic Money Reset is a powerful place to start. This short audio practice is designed to help you reconnect to your body wisdom, shift out of survival energy, and come back to the truth that money is flow, money is connection, and money is yours to receive. Use it every morning or any time during the day you feel called to reset. With consistent practice, it can begin to rewire neural pathways from lack to abundance. 🔗 Find Danielle and her free gift at: daniellemarggraf.com Connect with Danielle Marggraf Website: https://www.daniellemarggraf.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniellemarggraf/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-marggraf-3a809b46/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Danielle-Marggraf-100014224686034/ About the Host Audrey Faust, MBA, is known as The Manifesting CFO.

    She Was Making $17K a Year When Her World Fell Apart — Here's How She Built a Multi-Six-Figure Business From the Rubble

    What does it take to rebuild your life — and your finances — after losing everything? In this episode of Manifest, Manage & Multiply Money, Audrey Faust sits down with Donna Jean Kendrick, founder of Sefton Financial and a multi-six-figure financial advisor who specializes in helping families in widowhood, divorce, and life transition. Donna's story is one of the most powerful on this podcast — from making $17,000 a year as a newly widowed sole parent to building a thriving, mission-driven financial planning practice in under a decade. Donna shares what the early years really looked like — the oodles of noodles nights, the $6 box hair dye, and the financial roadmap that gave her permission to breathe. She opens up about the identity shifts required to go from helicopter mom to CEO, the money blocks she had to clear as a blue-collar girl from Philadelphia, and why she followed her gut and hung her own shingle in the middle of a pandemic. She also shares her powerful redefinition of GRIT — and why the lesson is always in the pivot. This conversation is raw, real, and deeply aligned with the mission of this podcast — normalizing wealth, resilience, and the identity evolution that happens when women choose mission over fear.

    From $75 a Month to a Seven-Figure CEO: Keri Ford on Identity, High Ticket Pricing, and the Healing Work Behind the Business

    What does it actually take to go from charging $75 a month to building a seven-figure coaching company? For Keri Ford, founder of Elevate with Keri, the answer wasn't more strategy — it was deeper identity work. In this episode, Keri pulls back the curtain on her decade-long journey from personal trainer to award-winning high performance coach working with C-suite executives and million-dollar founders around the globe. Keri shares the pivotal moment she paid $5K for her first coaching program and how that single decision changed everything. She breaks down her nervous system approach to pricing, why she pushes back on the "charge your worth" narrative, and what she means when she says we don't have business problems — we have personal problems that show up in our business.

Identity work isn't separate from business strategy — it is the strategy.We don't have business problems. We have personal problems that show up in our business. Unexamined stories and subconscious beliefs dictate behavior more than any tactic.Pricing should be calibrated to your nervous system. Find the number that feels doable but stretchy — not the number that makes you freeze.Don't charge your worth — charge relative to the market and your experience. Worth is a given. Pricing is a business decision.Closing the back door changes everything. When you go all in with skin in the game, a new level of commitment unlocks.Upper limiting is real. Success can arrive faster than your identity can hold it — do the inner work before you need it, not after.Play for the middle. The highs and lows of revenue don't define you. Save during the highs, stay humble, and build for sustainability.If you can't connect to the vision, that's an invitation for healing — not evidence that it's impossible.

About

Manifest, Manage & Multiply Money is a podcast for women entrepreneurs building multi-six and seven-figure businesses who want honest conversations about money, mindset, and wealth.With fewer than 5% of women-owned businesses reaching multi-six figures and only 1.7% reaching seven figures, this podcast amplifies the voices of women who are building at the highest levels — and explores what it truly takes to get there.Through candid, unscripted conversations with successful women business owners, the show examines how wealth is manifested, managed, and multiplied, including the identity shifts, leadership decisions, and inner work that support sustainable financial success. Rather than focusing on tactics alone, this podcast centers on lived experience, mindset, and the personal evolution behind building real wealth.
