DeVon talked with us about managing our expectations; we must manage them or they will manage us. Whether it’s societal expectations, expectations we have of ourselves, our loved ones, our bosses, you NAME it...we are letting all these expectations run the show! If we want to fully live our destinies and live FREE we must let go of expectations, they are the weights holding us down. DeVon also helped us with how to cultivate hope and reminded us that pain is the greatest catalyst for change. We are so grateful for all of DeVon's incredible lessons, and hope that you gain some incredible tips, tricks and tools too.

We are talking MONEY today, Heal Squad, and how we can improve our relationship with it! Friend of the show and author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint Judy Wilkins-Smith is back on because her first episode moved us so much (if you haven’t seen it, we highly recommend it - we talk about transforming through disentangling multigenerational patterns). In this interview, Judy teaches us how we can overcome a scarcity mindset when it comes to money and develop one of possibility and expansion. Plus, Judy detangles Maria, Kelsey and Pooja’s relationship with money and explains how their parents’ behaviors have influenced that. But remember, familial patterns are not yours! We don't need to take them on. Luckily, Judy reveals how we can break those limiting systems. We hope you enjoy!  More about Judy:  Judy is a highly-regarded Systemic Work & Constellations expert, coach, thought partner and motivational speaker. She has 18 years of expertise in assisting high performance individuals, Fortune 500 executives and their teams as well as legacy families, to break limiting cycles and reframe challenges into lasting breakthroughs and peak performance.
