Intentional Manifestation Podcast: Episode on Financial Trauma and Money Mindset with Rebecca
Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to another episode of the Intentional Manifestation Podcast. I'm your host, Meagan, and today we have an incredible episode lined up for you. I had the pleasure of speaking with Rebekah, a financial advisor with 18 years of experience, who has transitioned into helping women and entrepreneurs heal their relationship with money. Trust me, this episode is packed with insights and actionable tips that you won't want to miss.
Episode Highlights
Introduction to Rebekah
Rebecka kicks off by sharing her journey from a corporate financial advisor to pursuing her passion for helping others with money mindset and financial trauma. She talks about her 18-year career in finance and how her daughter's age marks her tenure in the industry. About five years ago, she decided to leave her corporate job to focus on the energetic and strategic aspects of finance, especially for women and entrepreneurs.
The Importance of Money Mindset
We dive deep into the concept of financial trauma and money mindset. Rebekah explains how our beliefs about money can limit our ability to receive and hold onto it. She emphasizes the need for women to understand that they are entitled to financial abundance, despite societal constructs that suggest otherwise.
Healing Financial Trauma
Rebekah shares her methods for helping clients heal their relationship with money. She talks about the importance of nervous system regulation and how it plays a crucial role in financial well-being. She also touches on the concept of the "money matrix" and how dismantling it can lead to financial freedom.
Personal Stories and Insights
I share my own experiences with financial setbacks, including a particularly challenging year where I faced unexpected expenses and financial stress. Rebekah and I discuss how these experiences, although tough, can serve as valuable lessons that help us grow and become more resilient.
The Power of Decision
Rebekah highlights the power of making a true decision and how it can change your financial trajectory. She shares a motivational quote that has stuck with her: "There's nothing more powerful than a made-up mind." We discuss how making a firm decision can set the stage for financial success.
Tools and Techniques
We talk about various tools and techniques for improving your money mindset, including EFT tapping, hypnosis, and creating anchors. Rebekah shares her trademark method, which starts with awareness as the first pillar. She explains how these tools can help you shift your perspective and attract financial abundance.
The Role of Human Design and Gene Keys
We touch on the importance of understanding your human design and gene keys. I share how discovering my life's purpose through gene keys has validated my approach to life and business. Rebekah also shares her insights on how these tools can help you align with your true self and achieve financial success.
Overcoming Obstacles
We discuss the inevitability of obstacles on the path to financial freedom. Rebekah uses the analogy of a video game, where the hardest challenges come just before you level up. She emphasizes that encountering obstacles is a sign that you're on the right path and that overcoming them is part of the journey.
Final Thoughts
Rebekah and I wrap up the episode by reiterating the importance of following your soul's guidance and doing what lights you up. We talk about the need for more women to step into their power and how collective rising can create a massive ripple effect in the world.

In this episode of the Intentional Manifestation Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lauren Vaknin, a holistic health and life coach, podcast host, health writer, and speaker. Lauren shared her incredible journey of overcoming juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, which left her wheelchair-bound by the age of 18. Through a decade-long mission of self-healing, she explored various modalities including nutrition, meditation, trauma healing, and energy medicine, ultimately achieving remission and transforming her life.
Lauren's story is a testament to the power of the mind and the importance of a holistic approach to health. She emphasized the significance of shifting one's identity from a place of dis-ease to a place of healing, and how integrating physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual practices can lead to profound transformation.
We also delved into the importance of connecting with nature and how it plays a crucial role in maintaining equilibrium and fostering a deeper connection to self. Lauren shared insights from her membership program, which offers a comprehensive approach to healing, covering topics such as inner child healing, shadow work, trauma processing, divine feminine energy, and health optimization.
Lauren's membership is designed to be accessible and affordable, ensuring that women from all walks of life can benefit from her teachings. She highlighted the importance of community in the healing process and how her platform fosters supportive connections among its members.
Throughout our conversation, we touched on the balance between living in the modern world and maintaining a connection to our natural selves. Lauren's approach is about empowering individuals with knowledge and tools to navigate the challenges of modern living while staying grounded in their true selves.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the potential for healing and transformation that lies within each of us, and the importance of a holistic, integrated approach to achieving our highest selves.

Embracing a Positive Money Mindset
Understanding and Managing Emotions Around Money
A positive money mindset starts with understanding and managing your emotions about money. Margo Masry, a guest on the podcast, shares how her early experiences shaped her belief that money was hard to earn and often brought tension. She recounts a story involving her father and a desired jacket, illustrating the emotional weight of financial decisions from a young age. This narrative underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing the emotional aspects of money, often rooted in deep-seated childhood beliefs.
Focusing on Intentionality in Spending and Investments
Intentionality in spending and investments is crucial for a positive money mindset. Margo and the host, Megan, stress the importance of making financial decisions based on clear intentions rather than impulsive or emotional reactions. Margo highlights the need to differentiate between necessities and luxuries, advocating for mindful and purposeful financial choices. She also discusses the importance of investing in things that align with personal and business goals, aiding in long-term financial stability and growth.
Recognizing Everything Beyond Necessities as a Luxury
During the discussion, a significant point made is that everything beyond basic necessities—such as food, shelter, and clothing—is essentially a luxury. This perspective can dramatically alter how one views spending and saving. By categorizing expenses into necessities and luxuries, individuals can prioritize their spending more effectively, focusing on what truly adds value to their lives. This approach fosters a more grateful and appreciative attitude towards money, viewing luxuries not as entitlements but as gifts to be carefully considered and cherished.
Conclusion
Embracing a positive money mindset involves a deep understanding of one's emotions surrounding money, intentional decision-making regarding spending and investments, and a clear recognition of luxuries beyond life's basic necessities. This mindset not only aids in effective financial management but also contributes to a more fulfilled and financially stress-free life.
Clarity and Organization in Physical and Mental Space: Impact on Financial Decisions and Money Management
The podcast episode explores how clarity and organization in both physical and mental spaces can profoundly influence financial decisions and overall money management, through various anecdotes and insights from the hosts and guests.
Physical Space and Financial Clarity
The importance of maintaining a clean and organized physical space, especially in work environments like offices, is discussed. Margo Masry shares a story about a client overwhelmed by physical clutter, which no

In this episode, I open up about the challenges of balancing the drive for productivity with the need for rest and self-care.  I'm just like you, facing the paralysis that can come from a mountain of aspirations. Yet, I'm here to remind you—and myself—that the key to progress is simply to start, no matter how small the step.
Join me as I candidly discuss the evolution of my brand, the struggles of maintaining a consistent output, and the decisions to scale back for harmony. I reveal the importance of strengthening the systems and foundations in our lives, both professional and personal, to support the growth we crave. Whether it's refining the onboarding process for new coaching clients or reorganizing my studio space for the upcoming wedding season, I emphasize the necessity of solid groundworks to prevent a Jenga-like collapse of our ambitions.
I also touch on the vital aspect of community and engagement, how I value genuine connections, and my desire to know you beyond the screen. As I pivot towards creating more space for content that resonates and serves, I invite you to reflect on your own life's foundations. What can you reinforce to support the life you envision?
Lastly, I extend an exclusive offer for the Highest Self Academy, where for a limited time, you can lock in a transformative coaching experience at an unbeatable price. This is your chance to release limiting beliefs, embrace new habits, and step into your highest self.
