In this episode, we have guest speaker Nate Rifkin. When I had this conversation with Nate, so many parallels hit home to me in this way that it's tough for me to describe because I've never dived into the conversation about the money trauma that I have. Growing up homeless, poverty, watching bills, never get paid, the water turned off, the electricity turned off, heat and gas turned off, and just always going through this. And so, this conversation was so interesting because Nate talks about these parallels, which I think are incredibly important between your mindset, meditation, habits, and wealth. When Nate Rifkin began his journey, he was suicidal and drank alcohol every morning to get through the day. He dropped out of college, went broke, bankrupt, and even worked on street corners waving around a sign. However, Nate learned a little-known spiritual discipline that helped him transform his thoughts, emotions, financial life, and find love. He’s described his journey and the transformative practice he learned in his book, The Standing Meditation. Nate lives in Golden, Colorado with his lovely wife. This is one of my favorite episodes in a long time, I'm very excited about it. Take some time to listen to this episode because Nate brings you a tremendous amount of value today! -Be Unbroken.

In this episode, as you may have noticed throughout the last couple of days, I've been releasing a new podcast, and I want to share something with you about my goal. So, I dive into this, I know we at the beginning of the year typically talk about goals a lot. You go and listen to last year's first episode; the year we talked about goals. So today, I'm still going to talk about goals because they matter so much; through education and information, you have to hold onto, you have to tie your effort to your identity to build your worth and who you are in the world. We have different GOALS, but HOW do you ACHIEVE those GOALS? You have to be decisive. You have to make a decision about your life. So, listen and join as I dive into the episode because I guarantee you, it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!

In this episode, I'm excited to talk to you about being the leader of your life. Leadership, I think about this and my leader in this space? Yes, but that has only come from being a leader and my own life first. I started this journey by deciding to take care of myself before anyone else. And if you've heard me talk about it, like that self-care, I'm going to do what I need before I do what you need always, that doesn't mean I'm not going to bring value, that doesn't mean I'm not going to show up that doesn't mean, I'm not going to be fired up and have the energy to create massive change. Today, I want you to go and listen to this episode because I just laid out a five-step process that will change your life forever!
