    A Solstice Reset

    The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year — and also the turning point. I love that nature doesn’t demand an instant transformation; the light returns slowly, faithfully, day by day. Let this be your pause too. A quiet reset. Not a push into goals, not a pressure-filled reinvention — just a moment to be honest about what feels heavy, what feels complete, and what you’re no longer available for. Breathe, and ask: What am I done carrying? What have I been tolerating that my body is quietly finished with? What belief keeps pulling me back into smallness? If it helps, write one simple sentence: “I release ______.” Now turn gently toward the light you want to live inside in 2026. Not the loud desires — the true ones. The ones that feel like relief. Ask: What do I truly want more of? What would feel like devotion to my life? What is the simplest version of what I want? Choose one small act of light you can take this week — something steady and kind that tells your nervous system, we’re safe to live differently now. And if you’d love support turning this clarity into a visual anchor, I’m hosting a Vision Board Workshop on December 30 — a calm, guided space to choose your themes and create something you can return to all year. Details are below, and you’re warmly invited. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit marialynn.substack.com/subscribe

    Gifts Without Guilt

    Question to ask yourself: What am I trying to buy with this gift — love, approval, or relief? (or is it just pure giving from the heart?) This is the first year where I put significant intention into shopping for gifts. Typically what happens in my home is that I start buying Christmas gifts around my daughter’s birthday in September. Reality is, I buy way too many things for her birthday and think ...hmmm I should hold onto a few of these for Christmas. I proceed to tuck them away in a place far, far away from a nosey teenager. Then, around mid November she gives me her Christmas wish list and I begin shopping all over again. In the back of my mind I kind of remember that I have a couple things tucked away but keep buying. December rolls around and I hit up a few christmas markets and pickup a few things here and there. You know…the $20 or $30 items that you think they will just love. Around mid December I pull everything out to do all the wrapping and realize that I have way overspent! AGAIN. Not this year. I am giving with intention. To begin with, there was no spilling over from her birthday gifts this year. Next, I took the list and priced out all her “desires”. I bought what I thought she would love (and that was within my budget). Oh ya, the budget! I do set a budget every year. This year I am sticking to it. LOL I used to buy out of guilt as a single parent and all that ended up happening was more debt and or less savings and a child that had an unhealthy model for money. The U-turn on this was slightly painful for both of us. Quite a few years ago at the time of the U-turn, she opened the last gift and said “is that it!”. A moment I will never forget. As a parent I want to give her the world. I want her to have everything I didn’t, but that does not serve her well. Happy to say that she gets it now. She works now, buys Christmas gifts, and is surprised at how little you get for your money….especaillly when you buy tiny expensive things! Now our Christmases are more about making our own traditions, spending time together, and a few well curated, intentional gifts. This process of stopping my impulsive shopping took some time. Recently I wrote down all the steps I took to move away from impulse spending and over giving. I’ve put all the pieces into a bundle for you. If you want to be first in…simply respond to this email! An invitation: Tell me in the comments: what’s one thing you’re doing differently with gifts this year? This is a public episode.

    The Spark Within

    Have you ever had a season where life just felt… stale? Nothing’s terribly wrong, but everything feels flat. I’ve been there too, and what I’ve learned is this: you don’t need to wait for some big change to feel alive again. Sometimes the smallest spark can bring everything back into focus. For me lately, that’s looked like starting French classes — which, honestly, terrify me — picking up my watercolour paints again, and slowing down to cook more at home. Each of these things, in their own way, is new, creative, and a little bit scary. And that’s the beauty of it: those tiny choices create momentum. They remind us that we’re capable of growth, joy, and courage in everyday life. In this week’s episode, I share what it means to find the spark within and how you can reset your energy by doing something new, something creative, something that scares you — and most importantly, by simply starting. xo Maria This is a public episode.

    Permission

    Hi… It’s Maria and welcome to the Podcast — A podcast for women who are creating intentional lives filled with wealth and meaning. I’m your host, Maria Conde — empowerment and money coach, RTT practitioner, and advocate for doing life differently. If you’ve been craving a slower, more soulful way to build a beautiful life — one that nourishes your spirit and your bank account — you’re in the right place. Today I am introducing a new episode series called Stillness Speaks. These are going to be short accessible episodes that will bring you more peace in your life and allow you to simply pause and be present for 10 -15 minutes. The Pause Let’s begin with 3 breaths to settle the nervous system. Breath in……….breath out. Breath in……….breath out. Breath in……….breath out. I want to backtrack for a moment and restate the words in the intro…”If you’ve been craving a slower, more soulful way to build a beautiful life — one that nourishes your spirit and your bank account” and this has not been coming easy….this is the permission you’ve been waiting for. That is what today’s episode is about, giving yourself permission to want more, slow down, or change direction without waiting for external validation. All too often in today’s busy and hectic world where we are over stimulated by technology and other peoples expectations, we lose sight of what really matters, what we really want and even who we are. Today we are going to address 3 specific areas where I often see people waiting for permission….they are: Changing direction in life or business, Slowing down, Wanting more. A Familiar Path Before I go further, I will say that I have found myself in each of these over the course of my life…and not just once! The last time was at the beginning of last year where I finally took a good look at the patterns in my life. I was always in hustle mode. I’m a seriously driven person. I never wanted to disappoint anyone, whether it be in my business or career or personal life. I would have considered myself a serious people pleaser. Mid last year I had one of those ah ha moments and I honestly don’t even remember what brought it on but I had a deep stirring in me to take a sharp turn in my life. So many things no longer made sense to me. I, again, was burned out. I chose to slow down considerably. I was not longer as concerned about people pleasing. I knew I always did my best but no longer had to take that over the top to the point of burn out. Interestingly, I was waiting for permission to do this and then I realized I could give myself permission….I did not have to have it come from someone else. Changing Direction Let’s look specifically at looking for permission for changing direction beginning with business. When you have put, often hundreds of hours into something, you put your whole heart and soul into a project or business and all of a sudden it is not resonating with you, the offer fell flat or the business is dragging you down, it’s not the easiest to walk away from something that really is no longer serving you. A very skilled entrepreneur will know when to walk away but many don’t. They hang on to the bitter end when their health is seriously affected or they lose everything. It doesn’t have to be that way. The same goes with relationships. Have you ever stayed in a relationship far too long? Only you can answer that. Slowing Down How about permission to slow down? This is a big one, especially for women! For so many years we have had to prove ourselves and I will say, at a great cost. It’s not easy for us to slow down. I know when I slow down I feel guilty. It’s not always about someone else….I often used to think….I should be….. NO…you can sit there and read a book….and a fiction book and it will all be OK. If you need permission to slow down….then this is your permission. Please take it so you don’t have to something like a negative health experience to slow you down. Do it on your terms before it’s too late. Now I want to add that when you slow down, interestingly you can often be more productive! Just saying! It’s OK to Want More! Number three is permission to want more. This is a big one because of society pressures and views. Are you saying…”who am I to want more”? Would that not be greedy? What will people think about me? People often worry about what others are thinking, looking at that external validation. Honestly, people are more concerned with themselves than others. If they are concerned with your decisions and they don’t like it…that is on them. Remember this is your life and this is your permission to do what you want with it. A little caveat that you are only doing good things in this world! This is a very abundant world. When one person gets more it does not mean that someone gets less. It’s OK to want more…and with no guilt. If you have listened to me for the first time or the 100th time you will know that I’m clear on my views and that this is your life and you get to design it how you want. Remember, if you need permission to change directions, slow down or want more…..this is your permission.

    The Layers

    There’s something I’ve been wanting to say out loud for a long time — and in this final episode of The Soul of Money series, I do. Even after years of mindset work…Even as someone who teaches money and manifestation…Even as a coach and RTT practitioner… I still work on my money mindset. All the time. Not because I’m failing.Not because I’m doing something wrong.But because I’m growing. That’s what this episode is about — the layered nature of mindset evolution. How we circle back, not because we’re stuck, but because we’re ready for the next level of healing, trust, and expansion. It’s normal. It’s human. And I believe we need to talk about it more. So this one’s personal. Inside the episode, I share: * The hidden fears that still show up for me after years of inner work * How scarcity patterns sneak in at every level of growth * What to do when mindset “maintenance” feels like starting over * Why guilt, fear, and doubt are not failures — they’re invitations I also offer three reflection prompts to help you tune into the current layer of your money story — not the past, not the future — but what’s rising now. Because this is where the real transformation happens. “Mindset work isn’t just about healing scarcity. It’s about preparing your system to hold more abundance.” If that resonates, this conversation is for you. I also talk a little about RTT and why it’s been the most powerful tool for helping me rewire deeply embedded beliefs — and how I use it in my Wealth Reset Experience (open now for July). You can listen to the episode right here on Substack or anywhere you tune into podcasts. And if this landed in your heart, I’d love to hear from you — feel free to reply or send me a DM over at IG @inspiredbyintention. Maria 💛 An Invitation: * What is the current layer of my money story that’s asking to be seen? * Where am I being invited to soften, trust, or receive more fully? * What old patterns feel familiar, and what new beliefs am I ready to practice? Affirmation to Carry With You: “Every time I revisit this work, I rise with more clarity, softness, and strength. My relationship with money is evolving — and so am I.” This is a public episode.

    When Money Doesn’t Show Up

    Have you ever done all the things—the mindset work, the journaling, the content, the strategy—only to feel like money still isn’t showing up? In this episode, I’m diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough: resistance. Not the kind that you bulldoze through with more hustle, but the kind that asks you to pause, listen, and realign. We'll explore three of the most common reasons resistance shows up around money: * You’re out of alignment with your actions or offers * There’s a deeper belief silently shaping your outcomes * You’re energetically depleted and unavailable to receive I’ll share personal stories, client experiences, and a few powerful questions to help you soften into the wisdom behind your blocks. Because resistance isn’t failure—it’s information. And when we listen, we create space for true clarity, alignment, and abundance. If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear from you. And if you know someone stuck in the cycle of pushing and not receiving, send this their way. Resistance is not the enemy. It’s your soul inviting you home. An Invitation: The Energy Reset Anchors: I am open to hearing what my resistance wants me to know.I trust that clarity will come.And I am safe to receive. Thank you for being here.

    Rewiring Your Nervous System for Wealth

    In this second episode of the Soul of Money series, I’m exploring a piece of the wealth conversation that’s often overlooked — your nervous system. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “mindset work” and still not seeing the results you desire, it may be because your body doesn’t feel safe with money. In this episode, I share why true financial transformation doesn’t begin in your bank account or your business plan — it begins in your body. I open up about my own journey with financial stress and how even when things looked “successful” on the outside, my nervous system was still holding on to old money stories underneath the surface. From overworking and fear-based decisions to avoiding financial visibility altogether, I walk through the protective patterns many women experience — and how those patterns are rooted in survival, not personal failure. This episode is an invitation to stop pushing and start listening. I share practical tools, gentle awareness practices, and reflections that can help you begin to shift your energy around money — not just through thought, but through felt safety and grounded presence. If you’re ready to release fear, reclaim ease, and create abundance from a more regulated, empowered state… this one’s for you. Inside this episode, I explore:– Why the nervous system plays a vital role in your money story– How fight, flight, freeze, and fawn patterns show up financially– What it really means to feel safe with wealth– Practices to begin gently rewiring your energy around money– How nervous system healing supports ease, rest, and sustainable success An Invitation: The Energy Reset Soul Prompts: What does safety with money feel like in my body? Where do I still feel tension or contraction when I think about money? What tiny practice could I begin today to bring more regulation into my financial life? Anchors: It is safe for me to receive. I honour my pace, trust my path, and allow money to flow with ease and grace. Thank you for being here. Maria This is a public episode.

    Rest, Renewal & Rewriting Your Money Story

    Welcome to a special episode of the Inspired by Intention podcast — and the beginning of a four-part series I’m calling The Soul of Money. This series is for the woman who’s ready to go beyond numbers, strategies, and spreadsheets… and explore the emotional and energetic layers of her relationship with wealth. In this episode, I’m speaking directly to those of you who are feeling a deep fatigue — not just burnout or physical exhaustion, but that soul-level tiredness that lingers, no matter how much you rest. I know this feeling well, and I’m sharing some of my own experiences with misalignment, overworking, and the quiet shame that can live underneath our money stories. Together, we’ll explore how perfectionism, constant striving, and emotional labor around money can silently drain your energy — and how rest (in every sense of the word) becomes the most powerful place to begin again. This conversation is filled with honest reflection, gentle reframes, and practical ways to begin restoring your energy — so you can make grounded financial decisions that truly serve the life you want to live. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of depletion or shame around money, this is your reminder:You’re not lazy.You’re not behind.Your soul may simply be asking for something different. Let’s explore softness over striving, nervous system regulation, and the deep self-worth that allows us to welcome abundance with greater ease. I’m so glad you’re here. An Invitation: The Energy Reset Time Stamps: 00:00 New Path Needed for Fulfillment 04:48 Understanding Soul-Level Fatigue 07:45 Embrace Softness and Space 11:15 "Unplug, Reflect, and Heal" 13:40 "Digital Detox and Self-Care" 16:16 Boosting Self-Worth for Interviews Soul Notes: What would it feel like to live in a way that restores you, instead of depleting you? Anchors: I am not lazy. I am listening to what my soul needs. And I am allowed to rest. Thank you for being here. Maria This is a public episode.
