    Amanda Frances “Money Queen” Deep Dive: The Wealth Loop, Course Funnel & What You’re Really Buying

    In this special deep-dive episode, I unpack Amanda Francis’ Money Queen brand — her business model, course ecosystem, and the marketing psychology behind why so many people feel pulled into high-ticket “abundance” programs. This is not an allegation of fraud or illegality. It’s a consumer-minded breakdown of what’s being sold, how it’s packaged, and why the promise can feel bigger than the product. We get into the “wealth loop” (promise → revenue → luxury display → “evidence” → price escalation), the curriculum itself — including how much of it mirrors widely available concepts like mindset reframing, journaling/shadow work, EFT tapping, and Law of Attraction material — and why the real business engine appears to be digital marketing + upsells, not a secret blueprint. I also break down the Course Creation Queen offer, the tech/platform recommendations (and affiliate links), the “sit in my energy” pricing justification, angel-number pricing psychology, re-bundled content concerns, strict refund policies + drip-fed modules, and the “prosperity gospel / spiritual bypassing” layer that can keep people in a loop of self-blame when results don’t happen. We close with a reality check: how to spot red flags, where to find comparable resources for free or low cost, and why discernment matters more than ever in 2026 when everyone is selling a course, a bundle, or an “aligned” shortcut. We need to talk about this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    RHOSLC Finale Was A Greek Tragedy!

    In this episode, I’m breaking down The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Greek tragedy finale – and yes, this play was very much about them. We get into Meredith’s checked-out energy, Heather’s sloshed read of the group, Bronwyn’s “concern” that felt more like a setup, and why I think Meredith should be demoted while Britney has earned her snowflake. I also talk about Mary being the only one willing to call out the b******t in real time, why Lisa and Meredith walking away actually made sense, and what this all might mean heading into the reunion. I also touch on the rumor about a cast member’s alleged alcohol scare 👀, why Heather might want to watch her back next season, and why some of these women are playing a very dirty game with each other’s vulnerabilities. Plus, I share updates on the podcast: Details on my upcoming deep dive into Amanda Francis and the online course “Money Queen” worldThe launch of “Georgio Says: Anonymous, Please” – my new Sunday advice episode where I anonymously respond to your real-life situations If you’re listening on audio, please leave a 5-star rating – it really helps the show.

    RHOBH Reality Check, 2025 Reflections & Why 2026 Is About the Pivot

    In today’s episode, I’m catching up with you after the holidays and getting real about why this Christmas felt different, what 2025 taught me during my first full year doing this full-time, and why “pivot” is the word I’m taking into 2026. I talk about burnout, people-pleasing, stepping back from social media, and why sometimes the universe reroutes you instead of stopping you. I also break down moments from The Kardashians finale that unexpectedly resonated with me, including resilience, family dynamics, and learning when to try again — just differently. Then we jump into Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where I unpack why certain dynamics aren’t landing this season, my honest take on Boz’s corporate/producer energy, the Dorit–Amanda lunch moment that didn’t math, Kyle and Morgan still dancing around the truth, and why the show may be overdue for a cast shake-up. I wrap things up with some quick Bravo thoughts, a look ahead to what’s coming in 2026, and an idea I’ve been sitting with about showing up more vulnerably with you all — because this community deserves it.
