    Financial Fawning Has A Price Tag with Wren Farris

    I sat down with Wren Farris (Season 6, Episode 2) to talk about money mistakes.  Money mistakes can mean LOTS of things, like not separating your personal and business expenses, underpricing your services, not setting aside money for taxes.  I thought that was the conversation we're having, but something completely unexpected came up, and you can detect the exact moment it occurred. When we actually dropped in and started talking, we landed on a HUGE money leak for women, especially. This cost of this mistake is so much more than money, so do your heart a favor and tune in.

    Build a Body That Can Hold the Matriarchy

    You cannot build the matriarchy out THERE if the patriarchy is still running the operating system in HERE. That's what this episode is about. Yesterday I recorded something I've been working with for a long time: the six shadows of patriarchal programming that keep you loyal to a system designed to extract from you and hold you in a vibration of fear. In your relationship with money, with food, with your body, with rest, with desire, with your own worthiness. I call them the LIVIDS: Lack. Isolation. Victimhood. Impostor. Doubt. Shame. You know them. They live in your body, not just your mind. They got passed down through your lineage, reinforced by culture, how you were parented, and dressed up as personal flaws you've been trying to resolve in therapy for years. Stop trying to fix programming and learn the practices that make it obsolete. In this episode I walk you through each of the LIVIDS, how they show up in your relationship with money and the 6 matriarchal power hacks that rewire them. This is where mindset meets the brass tax of trauma integration. Because a new world requires a new body, one that can actually hold what we're trying to build. If you want to be ungovernable and uncontrollable, this episode is for you.

    Your YES Indigenizes the Timeline

    There are specific emotions and sensations that arise when the systems that've been organizing your reality reveal themselves and come undone. You've probably experienced this before in your shadow work process. You feel this not because your life is over, but because you're floating in the space between what was and what hasn't formed yet. That void is what this episode is about. We're getting into why systems collapse is an initiation, not a crisis.  Why our bodies cling to anti-life templates even when we know they're awful.  Why losing meaning is actually a sign you're growing.  And most importantly: what to practice in the liminal space that can actually change the trajectory of the timeline. The answer isn't a new template. It's something more primal and precious. This one is personal. It's Aries season, it's giving COVID breakdown and Twilight Zone madness, and it's what I'm observing in real time, in my worldschooling community, online, and in the collective. The split in awareness is becoming impossible to ignore.  And I want to give you some orientation as it widens. New episode is live.  Come find your YES in the small moments with me.

    Network Marketing is Matriarchal

    Somebody decided that network marketing was a scam. And that somebody had a lot to lose if women started building wealth outside of systems they controlled.  I've been in this business model for 3+ years, and what I know from the inside is that network marketing, held in matriarchal hands, is one of the most powerful wealth-building structures available to women right now. Low barrier to entry. Scalable. Inheritable. Built on reciprocity, mentorship and collective growth. In this episode I define the model and dismantle every objection one by one and show you EXACTLY what it looks like when women run a business like a coven instead of a corporation. I also talk about what I think the REAL pyramid scheme is (I promise you it's not this) and break down the material and energetic costs of  a) getting more education; and  b) going the solopreneur route. If you're building alone or are exhausted by the options you've been given, this episode is for you.  Get the transcripts and learn more on my website: www.ishavela.com/podcast     Download SOVEREIGN WEALTH, my complete matriarchal guide to build an indigenous matriarchal money system in intentional community: https://alchemy.ishavela.com/sovereign_wealth   Download ROOTED TO RISE, my step-by-step matriarchal blueprint on how to structure your business finances to support lineage level wealth: https://info.ishavela.com/rooted-to-rise   Apply to book your customized, complimentary financial strategy session: https://www.vortex-collective.com/client-intake   Apply to join my coven of financial revolutionaries on a mission to create lineage worthy wealth: https://www.vortex-collective.com/expansion-intake   Access free content on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wakingup_wealthy   Follow me on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/wakingup_wealthy

    The Original Bank Was Us with Farron Harvey

    As patriarchal systems of power crumble, how do we build indigenous matriarchal ones to replace them? How do we operate and thrive as a community without banks? And how do we do this in a way that redistributes wealth and acknowledges the many ways Black and brown folks have been systematically locked out of building wealth?   This is just SOME of what we get into on this episode of the podcast, where we talk about alternative economies, specifically community funding structures.  This practice, formally known as a rotating savings and credit association (ROSCA), has over 200 different names that vary from country to country. I first heard about ROSCA's (or susu in Nigeria) about 8 years ago from a dear acquaintance in my New Haven social justice community, and I invited today's guest to come on to the podcast and share all the details of how to run them with you. Farron Harvey is a facilitator of wealth redistribution systems and a social justice movement builder (doing this for 18 years or since they were a teenager!) for organizations and individuals looking to grow in integrity with their mission and values. What I thought was going to be a straightforward episode on how to run and facilitate a susu ended up being a mind-blowing conversation around wealth distribution and equity.  I promise your wealth consciousness will increase by at least 10 points after 50 minutes of listening (and so will your hope in the future).  Get the transcripts and learn more on my website: www.ishavela.com/podcast     Download ROOTED TO RISE, my step-by-step matriarchal blueprint on how to structure your business finances to support lineage level wealth: https://info.ishavela.com/rooted-to-rise   Apply to book your customized, complimentary financial strategy session: https://www.vortex-collective.com/client-intake   Apply to join my team of financial revolutionaries on a mission to create lineage level wealth: https://www.vortex-collective.com/expansion-intake   Access free content on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wakingup_wealthy   Follow me on IG:  https://www.instagram.com/wakingup_wealthy

    Restoring the Witness in the Age of Organized Evil

    The Epstein files are out, and already, the discourse is shifting: Not toward accountability, but toward RESIGNATION.  "It's a psyop."  "They're testing us."  "Nothing will happen anyway." That framing, however sophisticated it sounds, is a form of collapse. And right now, children can't afford for us to intellectualize our way out of feeling. Because the moment we trade rage for a clever theory about why rage is useless, we've done exactly what systems of power require us to do.  We have managed ourselves on THEIR behalf. In this 45-minute episode, I break down step-by-step how we lose the internal, essential part of ourselves that sees CLEARLY what is happening: The Witness -- and how keeping it intact is an act of resistance. I also dive into -The 4 distinct ways the witness collapses; -How it's connected to learned helplessness; and -How to turn the witness back on (whether you're seasoned in somatics or just starting out). Finally, I share a personal story of waking up a formerly collapsed witness in this last new moon eclipse and why rage is required to reclaim the matriarchy.

    Building a Matriarchal Brand Off of Social Media with Wren Farris

    Have you noticed that when anyone talks about marketing, your brain immediately goes to social media? And does the thought of that totally kill the vibe? What if you could build a brand that made social media completely optional? Because with social media becoming increasingly surveilled and algorithmically manipulated, many people are looking for decentralized alternatives to share their souls' work. The good news is, regardless of how you market, 88% of ALL business revenue still comes through word of mouth. And that's what this episode is all about.  I invited Wren Farris, founder and CEO of a 7-figure, top-of-class saltwater bathhouse called Soak on the Sound. She also works as a consultant for women to turn what she calls 'The Thing You Can't Not Do" Into aligned businesses of their own.  Wren, like myself, believes that more money in the hands of matriarchs builds healthier and wealthier communities.  In this episode, we talk about -how visibility is not limited to online presence -time spent in the business vs. on your business -basic business principles that are timeless Wren even puts me in the hot seat with my own in-person business ideas that I'm playing with right now, which I will be implementing in the next 6 months!

    Why Sovereignty Is Your Most Valuable Asset

    During my time in the U.S., while fascism was intensifying, I was tuning into what conversations we need to have to go where we need to go. And the word that kept coming up was SOVEREIGNTY. I broke it down into 5 categories: Economic and Financial  Personal and Individual Energetic and Spiritual Digital and Data Communal and Collective And in the episode, I go into each to provide clarity of the overarching themes you'll be addressing both personally and professionally in the Year of the Fire Horse and beyond. I also provide a 4-level framework for how to distribute wealth (the Mycelial Map). These nerdy musings will help you clarify your soul's work and prepare an energetic foundation for the Fire Horse.
