Women and money with Shannon Foreman

Shannon Foreman is a financial advisor and owner of Forethought Financial Planning. She is a no nonsense coach and advisor and we wanted to shed some light on basic financial aspects, especially now and during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Here are some things we covered: What are some common limiting beliefs across the board, regardless of how much money we have? Why, as women, we have notoriously not been good about investing? Can you invest while making only 60K? What are some financial aspects everyone needs to know about (I learned I needed a special kind of insurance as a business owner that I never heard of before). What to do during an economic downturn? Where can we get educated about money and take financial future into our own hands. Shannon can be found at https://www.forethoughtplanning.com

Feeling fabulous is a matter of choice with Fabiana Peterson

Hello my beautiful people! Today I bring you a conversation about hardship in life and us having a choice about how we respond. Fabiana Peterson is a an author, life coach and one of the most positive women I have ever met. That doesn't mean her life was easy. In fact, she had a very tough divorce and I learned how her husband had a child with a woman while away on extended work assignment without her even knowing. She tells us about that, about how she handled it and how she wants to be a support to anyone who has been hurt or is going through any kind of a transition.

Hello my beautiful people and welcome to yet another episode of Uplevel Together podcast. I am so excited and honored to bring you the conversation today with Kristin Shane which was infused with so much darn joy and happiness and laughter.

Hero in all of us and importance of following our dreams with Gautam Muralidharan

Hello my beautiful people and welcome to yet another Uplevel Together podcast. I am beyond excited today to bring you a very special conversation with a very very special person to me. Gautam Muralidharan is a dear friend and one of the most fascinating humans that I have ever met in my entire life, and I don't say that lightly. He is the founder of Soulwork, which is this incredible company that really limits the constraints of all of our gifts and talent that we have within a company. We talk about this idea of a business that came to him years ago, and why it took him so long to actually pursue it, and then we talk about what he struggled with in the first months of forming the company, what was really hard, and then his transition from a very successful corporate career to actually running his company full-time. We also talk about his climb to Mt. Kilimanjaro, because he did that as well of course, and then maybe if there are some lessons that we could incorporate as well, and we talk about doubting ourselves and believing in ourselves. This is one of the most brilliant, in-depth, insightful conversations I have ever had, and I'm just so happy to share him with all of you. Without further ado, here's Gautam.

Rise above social conditioning with Jackie Serviss

Now I, and you, and all of us are in for a treat today. Today I introduce Jackie Serviss to you. Jackie is a former corporate executive turned coach and she is a really dear friend I met a few months ago. Her presence alone makes you feel so loved and accepted and she’s created this Unconditioned method after having gone through something so severe as waking one day and being told she has a brain tumor. We talk about what it felt like as a young mom to receive the news of having a brain tumor, and the healing process that she went through. This is really really important, no matter what it is that we do, no matter who we are, we’re going to be hit with some kind of news or accident or something that happens in our lives, and it’s up to us to figure out what we want to do with that, and we talk about that. .Do we have to have cancer to wake up? Jackie addresses that.  Then she goes through the pillars of what it means to be “unconditioned” and why we’ve been so conditioned in our society, and how to fight against that, to reach the equilibrium and real health, overall wellbeing, and happiness. And success comes from that. This conversation was just so insightful, so incredible, so valuable. It will move you, it will give you goosebumps, and I know that it will offer you insight into your own lives.
