Mindful Millionaire with Leisa Peterson

I hit record with a stranger I met on LinkedIn and this is what happened. Josh Allan Dykstra is an optimistic futurist, keynote speaker, and host of the Hello Tomorrow podcast. He spent two decades inside organizations trying to make them better places for humans to work. By every available metric, the field largely failed. Now he is writing the book that decodes why. In this conversation we talk about: Why the future is constructed, not inevitable The coming economic reckoning and what life looks like after fiat currency breaks How seasons of history prepare us for what comes next AI, truth, and the discernment we are losing Entrepreneurship as the best preparation for an uncertain world The heart vs. the mind as civilization shifts Non-attachment as a daily practice Josh also shares something real about going through personal bankruptcy as an entrepreneur. That moment alone is worth the watch. Find Josh: joshallan.com | Hello Tomorrow podcast and YouTube Find Leisa: wealthclinic.com | The Mindful Millionaire Podcast

Money and relationships are deeply intertwined — and yet we rarely talk about how our emotional patterns drive our financial decisions. In this eye-opening conversation, Leisa sits down with psychotherapist Michelle Farris to explore the surprising connection between codependency and money. Michelle breaks down how people-pleasing, over-giving, and a lack of boundaries don't just affect our relationships — they quietly drain our finances too. You'll learn how codependent patterns that start in childhood show up as over-lending, paying for others to feel liked, under-earning, and giving away resources at your own expense. More importantly, Michelle offers practical, compassionate baby steps for reclaiming your financial power — without losing your generous heart. Whether you've been the person who always picks up the check, lent money that never came back, or found yourself giving more than you can afford, this episode will help you see your patterns clearly and start putting yourself back in the equation. In this episode: What codependency actually is (and why it's more common than we think) How over-giving with money is often about seeking love and validation What financial boundaries look like in real life Why receiving is a skill — and how to practice it The connection between self-trust and financial decisions How to take baby steps toward healthier money habits in relationships To Learn more about Michelle Farris LMFT: 🎥 YouTube: Relationships That Work with Michelle Farris 🌐 Website & Free Codependency Guide: counselingrecovery.com

What does it mean to build a life of service that doesn't deplete you? In this profound conversation, Leisa sits down with spiritual teacher and author Simran Singh to explore the intersection of money, consciousness, and true abundance. Simran shares her journey from working in her family's fashion business to creating 1111 Magazine, hosting 900+ radio episodes, and performing a one-woman show across 66 cities—all as acts of love rather than traditional business. She reveals how she shifted from Type A, masculine-driven productivity to feminine flow and organic creation, and why that shift changed everything about how money shows up in her life. Key insights from this episode: The mantra that guides Simran's life: "in love of love, with love, as love" Why money is the "metaphysical equivalent to connection" How to work with collective fear without getting swept up in it The difference between ego serving you versus you serving your soul Why 2026 calls for "positive selfishness"—tunnel vision on your own frequency Moving from material obsession to meaningful wealth Simran offers a different paradigm for those of us building conscious businesses: one where fulfillment matters more than seven figures, where service fills you up rather than depletes you, and where money flows from connection rather than force. If you're navigating the tension between spiritual values and practical sustainability, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

Your relationship with money isn't just about budgets and strategies—it's deeply connected to your earliest attachment patterns, particularly with your mother. In this conversation, transformational coach Michelle Atlas reveals how the mother-daughter relationship shapes everything from our sense of worthiness to our capacity to receive, and how these early patterns become our money attachment styles. Michelle, who lived in an ashram for 12 years and has been on a spiritual path for over four decades, shares the surprising connection between anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles and our financial behaviors. She opens up about her own journey from shopping to fill a void to experiencing a spontaneous moment of self-forgiveness that completely transformed her relationship with money—and herself. In this episode, you'll discover: How mother wounds show up in your bank account Why attachment styles and money styles are one and the same The somatic sensations that drive your money decisions Why decades of spiritual practice matter in transformation work How to befriend money the way you'd befriend a trusted companion The path from "I need this to feel whole" to "I am enough" Whether you've been working on your money relationship for years or you're just beginning to sense there's something deeper beneath your financial patterns, this conversation offers a portal to profound healing.
