If you’re not yet familiar with the Sisters or what they’re cooking up in March, well, let me tell you all about it, because they have five shows dedicated to Women and Their Money. I’m honored to kick off the month as part of a list of tremendous guests such as Mikelann Valterra of the Women’s Earning Institute, best-selling author Molly Gordon, (The Accidental Entrepreneur), and Anna Choi, a woman I highly admire for her transformative money management work with couples.

Together they are fun, energetic, and a perfect example of what happens when women’s intuition meets entrepreneurial synergy. The two met and got this crazy idea to start a radio show, and voila, they were getting their sizzle on in no time! Their program now has thousands of subscribers and attracts fantastic guests.

With a team of 12 cameramen and 36 interviewers (including me), we interviewed 250 entrepreneurs about their businesses. What do they do and why do they do it? What inspires them to work long hours with little support and no guarantee of success? Excerpts of the resulting interviews and other footage are being edited into a documentary called SHINE (a big film about small business). Karrie Kohlhaas interviewed me. Hear why I’m NOT a financial planner, how I spent much of my life prejudiced against people with money, what forgiveness has to do with wealth and what’s so great about being an entrepreneur: To see trailers of the film, click here.

"Freedom is the ability to create the lives we want, enjoying the journey as much as the destination.... The freedom to express oneself fully and without fear, whether in conversation, business, or art.... Freedom is enjoying every day, living in gratitude, living from choice."

Part of my daily routine is to walk around the lake, weather allowing.  I walk to stretch my legs, clear my mind, and… to listen.  Sometimes, I hear Spirit speaking in Nature – perhaps through a bird or a tree, and often, through a living metaphor.  Oftentimes, the answers to the very questions I have been pondering are to be found in Creation – in Universal, Natural Law, clearly observable in the physical world.  (For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see…) As I’m writing my eBook on “Overcoming Financial Stress,” I’m thinking of how I manage and overcome financial stress – or any stress – in my own life. (Opt in to the right if you’d like a copy… it will be finished soon.) “Stress” is fundamentally a fear-based reaction. It’s a fear-based reaction to the past: we’re afraid we’ve made terrible mistakes that we should feel regret over; and a fear-based reaction to the future: we may have food, shelter, and love today, but surely it will disappear tomorrow!  And who would we BE without the income, the home, or the “stuff” we’ve come to identify ourselves with? And perhaps things aren’t so great in the present. Perhaps we are confronted with uncomfortable challenges and find ourselves clinging to a past that no longer exists, discovering change the only constant. If only tomorrow were guaranteed to be like yesterday, if only we could predict it, manage it, control it! A natural reaction to change, challenge, and fear is to “freeze.” When we encounter a bear (or a large barking…
