The Highest Self Academy

How I would lead myself if I wanted to level-up

In this episode of The Highest Self Academy, I break down the real secret to achieving your next level: mastering your mindset. If you've ever felt stuck, like something is holding you back no matter how many systems or strategies you put in place, this one's for you. We dive into why your mindset is the foundation for success—and how it shapes every action and outcome in your life.
I share my own journey and the exact steps I’d take to get unstuck and level up, starting with a crystal-clear vision of your future self. You'll learn how to get specific about what you truly want and identify the habits you need to adopt (and ditch) to start living as that version of you now.
We’ll also tackle those sneaky limiting beliefs that keep you playing small—the ones that stem from past experiences and societal conditioning. By working directly with your subconscious mind, you can rewire those beliefs, making it easier to create a mindset that actually supports your biggest dreams.
Plus, I talk about how to craft a morning routine that doesn’t just get you out of bed but puts you in alignment with your highest self, using tools like hypnosis, visualization, and tapping. And the biggest takeaway? Stop “trying” and start doing. This is the key to building real momentum and achieving the growth you crave.
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start becoming the woman you know you’re meant to be, this episode is your guide. And don’t miss my upcoming free masterclass, "Beyond Basic Embodiment for Goals," where we’ll go beyond just setting goals to actually making them happen. Tune in, get inspired, and let’s take that next step together! Join the waitlist here to be the first to know when it's live!

The Connection Between Food, Money, and Emotional Well-Being

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Heather Esposito, a holistic life and money mindset coach. Heather shared her fascinating journey, which began with her work mentoring teenagers and led her to pursue a master's in counseling. She recounted her personal struggles, including a significant breakdown that led her to move back in with her parents and battle severe depression. Heather's turning point came when she decided to cut out sugar from her diet, which dramatically improved her mental health and set her on a path to becoming a health coach.
Heather's journey didn't stop there. She opened a bakery in Philadelphia that catered to people with various food allergies and even appeared on shows like Cupcake Wars and Unique Sweets. However, after leaving the bakery, she delved into the world of personal development and coaching, eventually incorporating energy work into her practice. This holistic approach helped her clients achieve significant breakthroughs.
We also discussed Heather's exploration of money archetypes, a framework created by Kendall Summerhawk. Heather explained how understanding these archetypes can help people align with the energy of money and improve their financial well-being. She detailed several archetypes, including the Accumulator, Alchemist, Celebrity, and Connector, highlighting their empowering and disempowering traits and how they manifest in people's lives.
Throughout our conversation, Heather emphasized the interconnectedness of our relationship with money, food, and overall well-being. She shared valuable insights on how changing one's diet and lifestyle can lead to profound shifts in other areas of life, including financial health.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in holistic approaches to life and money, and Heather's story is both inspiring and educational.

Breaking Free from the Money Matrix: Insights on Wealth Consciousness

Intentional Manifestation Podcast: Episode on Financial Trauma and Money Mindset with Rebecca
Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to another episode of the Intentional Manifestation Podcast. I'm your host, Meagan, and today we have an incredible episode lined up for you. I had the pleasure of speaking with Rebekah, a financial advisor with 18 years of experience, who has transitioned into helping women and entrepreneurs heal their relationship with money. Trust me, this episode is packed with insights and actionable tips that you won't want to miss.
Episode Highlights
Introduction to Rebekah
Rebecka kicks off by sharing her journey from a corporate financial advisor to pursuing her passion for helping others with money mindset and financial trauma. She talks about her 18-year career in finance and how her daughter's age marks her tenure in the industry. About five years ago, she decided to leave her corporate job to focus on the energetic and strategic aspects of finance, especially for women and entrepreneurs.
The Importance of Money Mindset
We dive deep into the concept of financial trauma and money mindset. Rebekah explains how our beliefs about money can limit our ability to receive and hold onto it. She emphasizes the need for women to understand that they are entitled to financial abundance, despite societal constructs that suggest otherwise.
Healing Financial Trauma
Rebekah shares her methods for helping clients heal their relationship with money. She talks about the importance of nervous system regulation and how it plays a crucial role in financial well-being. She also touches on the concept of the "money matrix" and how dismantling it can lead to financial freedom.
Personal Stories and Insights
I share my own experiences with financial setbacks, including a particularly challenging year where I faced unexpected expenses and financial stress. Rebekah and I discuss how these experiences, although tough, can serve as valuable lessons that help us grow and become more resilient.
The Power of Decision
Rebekah highlights the power of making a true decision and how it can change your financial trajectory. She shares a motivational quote that has stuck with her: "There's nothing more powerful than a made-up mind." We discuss how making a firm decision can set the stage for financial success.
Tools and Techniques
We talk about various tools and techniques for improving your money mindset, including EFT tapping, hypnosis, and creating anchors. Rebekah shares her trademark method, which starts with awareness as the first pillar. She explains how these tools can help you shift your perspective and attract financial abundance.
The Role of Human Design and Gene Keys
We touch on the importance of understanding your human design and gene keys. I share how discovering my life's purpose through gene keys has validated my approach to life and business. Rebekah also shares her insights on how these tools can help you align with your true self and achieve financial success.
Overcoming Obstacles
We discuss the inevitability of obstacles on the path to financial freedom. Rebekah uses the analogy of a video game, where the hardest challenges come just before you level up. She emphasizes that encountering obstacles is a sign that you're on the right path and that overcoming them is part of the journey.
Final Thoughts
Rebekah and I wrap up the episode by reiterating the importance of following your soul's guidance and doing what lights you up. We talk about the need for more women to step into their power and how collective rising can create a massive ripple effect in the world.

"Success is a crappy teacher because, you know, if you're always successful and this was my journey as well, which I think is why I was called to my dark night of the soul, but I had created a lot of success really rapidly and really fast. And so I didn't have the tools to hold on to the money that I was creating." - 00:25:10-00:25:21
"There's nothing more powerful than a made-up mind." - 00:20:49-00:21:09
"Light is so much more powerful than darkness." - 00:09:29-00:09:41
"When you were a kid, right, if you ever went into like a dark room or like we had a basement in our house, it was so scary and dark, right? You go down the basement, it's like when the lights are all off, there's maybe a coat hanging on a coat rack and it looks like a person or like a monster or something scary. But the moment that you turn the light on, what happens? Oh, that's just a coat." - 00:11:16-00:11:47
"Light is so much more powerful than darkness." - 00:09:29-00:09:41
"There's no shadows in the dark. People think of shadows as such a bad thing. But shadows are just the things that we need to heal." - 00:13:09-00:13:19
"If you're not growing, you're dying. The grass is, if it's not growing, it's dying." - 00:34:26-00:34:36

Healing Beyond Limits: Lauren Vaknin's Journey from Disability to Wellness

In this episode of the Intentional Manifestation Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lauren Vaknin, a holistic health and life coach, podcast host, health writer, and speaker. Lauren shared her incredible journey of overcoming juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, which left her wheelchair-bound by the age of 18. Through a decade-long mission of self-healing, she explored various modalities including nutrition, meditation, trauma healing, and energy medicine, ultimately achieving remission and transforming her life.
Lauren's story is a testament to the power of the mind and the importance of a holistic approach to health. She emphasized the significance of shifting one's identity from a place of dis-ease to a place of healing, and how integrating physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual practices can lead to profound transformation.
We also delved into the importance of connecting with nature and how it plays a crucial role in maintaining equilibrium and fostering a deeper connection to self. Lauren shared insights from her membership program, which offers a comprehensive approach to healing, covering topics such as inner child healing, shadow work, trauma processing, divine feminine energy, and health optimization.
Lauren's membership is designed to be accessible and affordable, ensuring that women from all walks of life can benefit from her teachings. She highlighted the importance of community in the healing process and how her platform fosters supportive connections among its members.
Throughout our conversation, we touched on the balance between living in the modern world and maintaining a connection to our natural selves. Lauren's approach is about empowering individuals with knowledge and tools to navigate the challenges of modern living while staying grounded in their true selves.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the potential for healing and transformation that lies within each of us, and the importance of a holistic, integrated approach to achieving our highest selves.

00:05:45-00:05:55 And then it went into the mental side of things, learning how to rewire my brain out of disability thinking and knowing that that held a huge part.

Embracing a Positive Money Mindset
Understanding and Managing Emotions Around Money
A positive money mindset starts with understanding and managing your emotions about money. Margo Masry, a guest on the podcast, shares how her early experiences shaped her belief that money was hard to earn and often brought tension. She recounts a story involving her father and a desired jacket, illustrating the emotional weight of financial decisions from a young age. This narrative underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing the emotional aspects of money, often rooted in deep-seated childhood beliefs.
Focusing on Intentionality in Spending and Investments
Intentionality in spending and investments is crucial for a positive money mindset. Margo and the host, Megan, stress the importance of making financial decisions based on clear intentions rather than impulsive or emotional reactions. Margo highlights the need to differentiate between necessities and luxuries, advocating for mindful and purposeful financial choices. She also discusses the importance of investing in things that align with personal and business goals, aiding in long-term financial stability and growth.
Recognizing Everything Beyond Necessities as a Luxury
During the discussion, a significant point made is that everything beyond basic necessities—such as food, shelter, and clothing—is essentially a luxury. This perspective can dramatically alter how one views spending and saving. By categorizing expenses into necessities and luxuries, individuals can prioritize their spending more effectively, focusing on what truly adds value to their lives. This approach fosters a more grateful and appreciative attitude towards money, viewing luxuries not as entitlements but as gifts to be carefully considered and cherished.
Conclusion
Embracing a positive money mindset involves a deep understanding of one's emotions surrounding money, intentional decision-making regarding spending and investments, and a clear recognition of luxuries beyond life's basic necessities. This mindset not only aids in effective financial management but also contributes to a more fulfilled and financially stress-free life.
Clarity and Organization in Physical and Mental Space: Impact on Financial Decisions and Money Management
The podcast episode explores how clarity and organization in both physical and mental spaces can profoundly influence financial decisions and overall money management, through various anecdotes and insights from the hosts and guests.
Physical Space and Financial Clarity
The importance of maintaining a clean and organized physical space, especially in work environments like offices, is discussed. Margo Masry shares a story about a client overwhelmed by physical clutter, which not only created a physical nuisance but also a mental block, hindering clear financial decisions. Once the clutter was cleared, the client gained mental clarity, positively affecting her financial decision-making. This story emphasizes that a tidy physical space can lead to a more focused and effective approach to handling finances.
Mental Space and Financial Decisions
Mental clarity is equally crucial for effective financial management. The episode addresses how emotional triggers and past experiences can influence current financial behaviors. By understanding and addressing these mental blocks, individuals can develop a healthier relationship with money, leading to better financial decisions.
Organizational Practices for Better Money Management
Practical advice includes spending a few minutes each day reviewing bank statements and financial transactions. This habit helps keep track of spending and maintains a clear mental picture of financial health. Regular engagement with financial data allows individuals to avoid surprises and make more informed decisions.
Impact of a Clear Environment on Financial Well-being
The discussion also highlights how a clear and organized environment contributes to overall financial well-being. When individuals have a designated space for financial planning and are not distracted by disarray, they are more likely to feel in control and confident in their financial decisions. This sense of control and confidence can lead to more strategic and thoughtful financial planning and execution.
In conclusion, the podcast episode effectively illustrates that clarity and organization in both physical and mental spaces play a critical role in enhancing financial decision-making and management. By fostering an environment that promotes focus and intentionality, individuals can improve their financial health and navigate their financial journeys with greater success.
Listening to Your Intuition and Aligning Business Practices with Personal Strengths and Values
In the podcast episode, both Megan and her guest Margo discuss the profound impact of aligning business practices with personal strengths and values, rather than strictly adhering to conventional advice or models. This approach not only fosters a deeper sense of fulfillment but also paves the way for genuine success.
Personal Experience and Intuitive Business Practices
Margo shares her journey from being a bookkeeper to evolving into a full-service accounting and tax firm owner. Initially, she followed the traditional path expected in her field. However, as she began to listen more to her intuition and integrate her personal strengths and values into her business, she found that her services naturally expanded and resonated more with her clients. This evolution was not just about offering more services but about deeply connecting with the work she was doing, which brought her personal fulfillment and business success.
Challenges of Conventional Models
Both speakers highlight the limitations of sticking rigidly to conventional business models. Megan talks about the pressure to niche down and focus on one aspect of her diverse interests and skills. However, she found that by embracing all her passions and presenting them authentically, she could attract clients across different areas of her business. This approach contradicts the common advice of focusing narrowly but proves successful for her by integrating her whole self into her business.
The Power of Authenticity
Margo emphasizes the importance of authenticity in business. She mentions how moving away from a strict accountant persona to embracing a more holistic approach to financial guidance, including mindset and advisory components, not only differentiated her but attracted clients who appreciated this comprehensive approach. This shift was a direct result of listening to her inner voice and aligning her business with her true self, which ultimately led to recognition and awards.
Practical Advice
Both speakers suggest practical steps for entrepreneurs who wish to integrate their personal values and strengths into their businesses:
Self-Reflection: Regularly check in with yourself to understand what truly matters to you and how these values can be integrated into your business practices.
Client Interactions: Focus on building relationships based on authenticity and mutual respect, which naturally attracts clients who resonate with your approach.
Adaptability: Be open to evolving your business practices as you grow personally and professionally. This adaptability can lead to discovering new opportunities that align more closely with your values.New to Manifestation? Start here
