Forgive Yourself Brenda Reiss

Do you struggle with money? Is debt weighing you down? Tresa Leftenant is here to help you cultivate confidence, conquer debt, and begin living a wealthy life. Are you ready?!!

In this episode, I talk with Tresa Leftenant, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Behavioral Finance Advisor (BFA™) with over four decades of comprehensive financial planning and wealth advisory experience. Tresa is also a certified Canfield trainer of the Success Principles, a beautiful speaker, podcaster, and transformation facilitator.

Tresa's Master Work is a handbook for women ready to change their financial lives called Reinventing Her. In this empowering guide, she openly shares her own transformation with money, relationships, and career, and encourages women to upgrade their lives by learning and living the steps she created to change her own life. Tresa's expertise is the connection between self-worth and net worth - how women can engage in inner work to unleash their “living a wealthy life” mindset.

"If there is some empowerment inside that I am inherently valuable, and therefore I deserve to have whatever that amount of money is going to provide for me, then I'm willing to take the actions. I'm willing to learn how to take the risk to become comfortable with behavior that is required to let my money grow on itself, which is what investing is."

During our interview, Tresa discusses how our emotions and beliefs around money directly impact our financial outcomes. She shares her personal story of growing up with a banker father and a mother who constantly compared their lifestyle to others, leading Tresa to develop unhealthy money habits like using credit cards for approval.

Tresa emphasizes that the number one reason women struggle financially is due to the family story and societal messages they've internalized about money, not their ability. She unpacks how women often struggle to feel worthy of wealth and financial abundance, and how this self-worth piece is the key to unlocking a more empowered relationship with money.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman who feels stuck or dissatisfied with her current financial situation. Tresa provides a roadmap for doing the inner work to shift your money mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, and step into your natural abundance. Whether your goal is to become a millionaire or simply gain more control and peace around your finances, Tresa's wisdom and guidance can help you make the shift.

"We can grow the way we love and respect and trust ourselves, and then our behavior with money will change, and the outward results will change."

Are you ready to unleash your soul’s truth and live unapologetically expressed? Then this is the episode for you!


In this episode, I talk with Jennifer Spor, the CEO and founder of Jennifer Spor Co. and host of the Path of the Awakened Heart Podcast. Jennifer is a spiritual advisor, channel, Akashic Records and trauma-informed master consultant, and teacher for high-achieving, conscious women leaders who are here to live unapologetically expressed in their true selves and fulfill their highest destiny.


Jennifer's journey into this transformative work began after a pivotal moment when she was working in retail and realized she was no longer feeling challenged or fulfilled. After the passing of her mother, Jennifer made the brave decision to leave her corporate career and embark on a journey of rediscovering her true self and purpose. Through a powerful spiritual awakening, Jennifer discovered her gifts as an intuitive, channel, and Akashic Records consultant - and felt called to support other women in doing the same.


"Whenever we're feeling that call to deeper truth, we feel it in our lives. We feel it in how we're showing up. We feel like there's something more, and we may not be clear on what that is initially, yet we feel it."


In our conversation, Jennifer shares with me how she helps women access their soul's truth and live fully expressed in their highest destiny. She discusses the importance of discernment between the ego and the soul's voice, the role of trauma and forgiveness in our embodiment, and how to extract ourselves from limiting 3D constructs to step into our truth. Jennifer also explains the transformative power of the Akashic Records and how accessing this sacred library can facilitate instantaneous healing and timeline shifts.

"The Akashic records are one of the most direct paths to Ascension. And what is super empowering is that every single one of us can access our records. We all have them. You don't have to be gifted or super psychic... The thing is, we all have these psychic abilities. We all have the ability to access our records."


This episode is a must-listen for any woman who feels the call to live more authentically, let go of fear, and step into the fullest expression of her soul's purpose. Jennifer's wisdom and insights shared with me will empower you to have the courage to make the leap, trust your intuition, and create a life that is truly aligned with who you are at the deepest level.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Betsy Jordyn, a brand positioning strategist who helps consultants and coaches clarify their messaging. Betsy's mission resonates deeply with me - empowering professionals to expand their positive impact.

Drawing from over 30 years as an organizational consultant, Betsy witnessed firsthand the toxic cultures and unethical practices that can arise. She understands the toll of workplace betrayal, burnout and existential crises on passionate individuals striving to make a difference.

"I think a lot of it comes from unresolved issues… like what got you into entrepreneurship."

During our discussion, Betsy unpacked the unresolved issues that often propel people into entrepreneurship. She emphasized the need to address these deep-rooted matters through a process of acceptance and forgiveness in order to truly move forward.

Together, we explored the insidious nature of toxic positivity - the pressure to always remain upbeat and deny difficult emotions. Betsy wisely advocated for acknowledging how we feel, setting boundaries, and disengaging from environments that don't respect our humanity.

The key takeaway is that personal, professional and spiritual growth intertwine. By doing the work of forgiveness and healing past hurts, we build a solid foundation for success across all life arenas.

This conversation holds particular relevance for high-achievers venturing into consulting or coaching. It provides a compassionate roadmap for the challenges and opportunities that arise.


To connect with Betsy's wisdom further, visit her website and podcast "Enough Already." Her insights are invaluable for creating businesses and lives we love.

I'm grateful to Betsy for this candid look at integrating our whole selves into our work. Tune in if you're ready to expand your impact through self-awareness and forgiveness.

Today, I address a question I recently received, "How do I know I have fully forgiven someone?" As a forgiveness coach, I share my insights on the misunderstood nature of forgiveness and its power to transform lives. And this question is quite common.

"It doesn't make what they did right, it doesn't condone their behavior, it doesn't mean you reconcile… it means that you love yourself enough to do the work for you, not for them."

Thanks for listening, and please share with someone you know who might benefit, I appreciate it.

In this episode, I address the complex dilemma of family estrangement in response to a listener struggling to reconcile with their child. Drawing from my experience as a forgiveness coach, I offer guidance on navigating the challenges of strained family relationships.

Having helped many individuals and families heal over the years, I understand the intricacies of estrangement and the deep emotions involved. I emphasize the importance of honoring each family member's personal journey and highlight that estrangement can occur beyond blood relatives.

"We know in our heart of hearts what we've done or not done as a parent."

My advice stresses self-reflection, personal growth, and forgiveness as crucial first steps before attempting to mend the relationship. I acknowledge every family dynamic is unique and share real examples to illustrate the complexities many face.

My goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for people experiencing estrangement to explore their feelings and find acceptance. This episode offers insights for parents struggling to reconcile with estranged children.

"We can only make amends for what we've done, not how someone else is interpreting what we have done."

While there are no easy solutions, through thoughtful inner work we can find peace and clarity. I encourage parents to be gentle with themselves on this difficult journey. My door is always open to those needing support.

Tune in to gain perspective on family estrangement and discover pathways to healing. With an open heart, we can understand our loved ones and ourselves more deeply.
