Get ready to join us on a deep dive into the connection between money and emotional wellbeing, especially for caretakers and entrepreneurs. We kick things off with our ritual “what’s in process, what’s in progress?” segment, digging into our experiences as caregivers and parents, the joys and challenges that come with it, especially when you’re juggling entrepreneurship. Bottom line: we’re not always getting (or giving ourselves) the support we need and it’s f*cking exhausting

We dive into fascinating research, highlighting how women are consistently underpaid and Anne shares why she's driven to change that narrative. Learn about eye-opening statistics and articles that shed light on this issue, making a compelling case for why financial empowerment is crucial for women's emotional and mental health. One particular study grabs our attention, exploring how much income it takes for a person to "feel" wellbeing, emphasizing that women often have to work even harder to ask for and achieve financial security.

We even have a little spoiler alert tossed into this episode, as we divulge how we’re creating a new suite of offers for our business, The Embodied Business Institute, called Profit for Wellbeing, that will increase our impact on helping women believe they can—and should—earn more.

And finally, we wrap things up by talking about how we suffer when either money or meaning are missing: if you experience unmet financial needs OR your work has lost or never had meaning and purpose, your wellbeing suffers and sometimes it feels impossible to correct course.

Tune in to get tips, insights, and inspirations on breaking this ugly cycle, and start asking “What is my relationship to making money, having meaning, and my emotional wellbeing?
