    I’m joined by evidential medium Barbra Banner, and this conversation is equal parts comforting, hilarious, and honestly kind of mind-blowing.

    - with Jade Warshaw - Money Is Emotional, Protect Your Peace And Progress Is The Point

    Hey y’all. Okay, I’m just going to say it, my palms were sweating before we even started recording, because we’re talking money. Not the cute “budget tips” version, the real stuff: shame, comparison, resentment, and the sneaky little stories we tell ourselves when we feel behind. I’m joined by Jade Warshaw from the Ramsey team, and she’s the friend who will tell you the truth, then help you take the next step without spiraling. We get into why money hits so deep, how to stop turning mistakes into your identity, and how progress actually happens, little by little, even when you’re annoyed about it. Highlights: (03:07) - Jade hears the intro and goes, “Holy smokes”, instant bestie energy (04:00) - “Budget” as a bad word, and how scarcity stories start early (15:13) - The Ramsey Baby Steps, plus what they really feel like in real life (21:21) - Regret vs guilt vs shame, and when a mistake turns into an identity (31:32) - Financial envy and the Tesla effect, life is a race, but not against other people (46:41) - Where to find Jade and her book, and the official “we’re best friends” moment Connect with Jade: Instagram Website Qualia Mind - click here Coupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase) Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.com Grab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.com Find Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciacca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eA Practice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

    - with Megan Lanford - Luxury Travel For Free

    Hey y’all. Today I’m sitting down with Megan Lanford, founder of Points to Paradise, and I’m not being dramatic when I say this conversation messed with my brain in the best way. If you’ve ever assumed luxury travel equals debt, trust funds, or “I’m just not that kind of person,” Megan is about to flip that story. We talk beginner cards, how to keep it simple (no spreadsheet nightmare), and how to turn groceries and gas into real trips. Also, the moment she shares what points can actually buy, I basically start planning a vacation mid episode. Highlights: (02:29) - “Surprise, it’s not debt, it’s strategy,” the luxury travel reality check (07:17) - The easiest first move, one beginner card, pay it off monthly, done (09:51) - Business cards aren’t just for CEOs, and why the bonuses are bigger (13:41) - The biggest lie, you do not need to spend a fortune to earn serious points (19:14) - From “free trip” to five star resorts, first class flights, and a $7,000 room on points (31:07) - The Hawaii trip that made everyone cry, and why this becomes a family legacy Connect with Megan here: www.pointstooparadise.com Linkedin Instagram Qualia Mind - click here Coupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase) Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.com Grab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.com Find Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciacca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eA Practice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

    - solo cast - Timelines, Choices, and The Gains We Keep

    This solo cast was such a joy to record, because I am ending 2025 with a fire in my chest about what actually shapes our lives. I dive into the truth that your habits are profiling you every single day and that discipline is really about having an identity so clear you stop negotiating with your feelings. I talk about timelines, personal responsibility, the habits I have made non negotiable and the real shifts that happened when I stopped treating my future self like a stranger. I break down the practices that have changed my body, my mindset and my nervous system this year, from lifting heavy to creatine to peptides to sleep optimization to meditation to walking and, yes, fun. I share how these choices have rewired my confidence, sharpened my intuition and helped me keep the gains I have worked so hard for. This episode is equal parts science, spirituality and loving kick in the ass, because you are far more in control than you think. The life you want is built from the habits you keep. Highlights: (01:15) The truth about timelines and why my habits were deciding my future (04:30) The identity shift that makes discipline easier than feelings (06:40) Weightlifting, confidence and the moment I realized my body had changed (10:19) Creatine, peptides and the longevity practices I swear by (12:55) Sleep, meditation and the seven minute gratitude rule (15:11) Why walking, movement and fun have become my secret sauce Qualia Mind - click here Coupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase) Visit Nicole’s on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.com Grab Nicole’s bestselling children’s book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.com Find Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciacca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eA Practice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.
