    <description>This is a podcast for anyone who wants to renew their mindset. It’s for those who want to step out of their comfort zone to learn, grow, and expand their knowledge. It’s for those who want to embrace change, vulnerability, and the messiness of life. And it’s for those who don’t mind listening to raw, honest stories. (Although my podcast is under the self-improvement category, I cannot guarantee that I will not be talking about my love of comedy, space, and vegan baking on the show.) Have questions for Vanessa?

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>I used to live my life in fear and anxiety until I realized it was robbing me of so much happiness and joy. </p>
<p>In this episode, I chat with Rebecca Wiener McGregor about fear and how we can use fear to our advantage.  We also discuss why suffering feels safe, and how fear can keep you stuck in unhealthy relationships.</p>




<p>Rebecca is an Amplifier of Love and catalyst for breakthroughs!  She shares her gifts as a transformational hypnotist + money mindset coach committed to helping visionary women live their Truth, step into their Divine Purpose, and create the life of their dreams.  Over the last 16 years she has helped her clients to release old blocks, traumas, loss, and hidden fears to find a deeper sense of self-worth and determination to live life on their own terms. Using that self-worth and determination as fuel to create the life they’ve been dreaming of with deeper connection, more joy, more impact, wealth, and more fun!</p>
<p>Rebecca’s clients include spiritual entrepreneurs, coaches, healers, executives, entertainers, and influencers--women who have a message to share with the world.  She’s worked with women across the country and around the world to release limiting beliefs and rewire their subconscious mind to feel limitless, take action, and create a life filled with abundance. Rebecca lives with her husband (in a relationship she manifested) and her rescue dogs Lucy, Millie, and Professor Winston in South Dakota USA where she loves books, art, music, has the ever-so-slight Netflix infatuation, and loves spending time hosting her friends and family.</p>




<p>To connect with Rebecca and find out more about what she does, visit rebeccawiener.com or healwithhypnosis.com, email her at <a href='mailto:rebecca@rebeccawiener.com,'>rebecca@rebeccawiener.com, </a>and follow her on social media:  <a href='http://www.facebook.com/iamrebeccasue'>www.facebook.com/iamrebeccasue </a>and  <a href='http://www.instagram.com/iamrebeccasue/'>www.instagram.com/iamrebeccasue/</a>. </p>

<p lang="en-ca" style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;" xml:lang="en-ca">In this episode, my special guest Jennifer Love and I will talk about challenging our beliefs about wealth, money, and success.</p>
<p lang="en-ca" style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;" xml:lang="en-ca"> </p>
<p lang="en-ca" style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;" xml:lang="en-ca">There have been a few badass women I've met and worked with in the last 12 months and Jennifer Love is one of them. Jennifer is an amazing woman with some kickass titles under her belt, including money therapist, wealth philosopher, she's an ally of nature and advocate for emotions, top 5% internationally-acclaimed business advisor, and last but not least, a dark chocolate enthusiast.</p>
<p lang="en-ca" style="margin:0in;font-family:Calibri;font-size:14pt;" xml:lang="en-ca"> </p>
<p>Award winning, 5x career entrepreneur with 20+ years under her comfy Keds (she retired her high heels years ago), Jennifer Love is a thought leader with a heart that matches her name. Her degrees, training, and research in human and organizational behavioural psychology are the foundation for her clinical work.</p>
<p>She’s currently the visionary CEO of the Living Wealthy Institute, helping world leaders develop a healthy relationship with wealth free from overwhelm and anxiety by following a regenerative money equation for a holistic and nourishing experience. Leaders who know how to raise, manage, grow and contribute money can live soulful, wealthy lives to become allies for future generations to come.</p>
<p>She believes ANYTHING is possible while remaining grounded in science and real business practices and hard financial analytics.</p>
<p>On a given day, Jennifer can be found diving deep with a leader in a private money therapy session, taking long contemplative walks and hikes through nature, guiding groups of leaders through workshops and retreats, serving as a guest judge for entrepreneurial events like Startup Weekend, speaking on stage as a Wealth Philosopher, in her art studio shaping her artistic magic onto canvas, preparing entrepreneurs how to land a deal on Shark Tank, working behind the scenes on shows like: Biz Fix with Marcus Lemonis, in her writing studio developing a book or paper, meeting with community leaders and government officials, negotiating with investors (she’s helped raise $100M+), advising leaders of Fortune 200 companies and celebrities through her Living Wealthy Model, OR simply being at home enjoying time with her sweetheart John, her fur-baby Maggie, and her adored garden of plants.</p>
<p>She is beloved by those around her because she gets results. As a former client once said, “With Jennifer, the only possible outcome is success.”</p>

Where do our beliefs about money come from and are those beliefs helping us live wealthy? 
 
In this episode, my special guest Jennifer Love and I will talk about challenging our beliefs about wealth, money, and success.
 
There have been a few badass women I've met and worked with in the last 12 months and Jennifer Love is one of them. Jennifer is an amazing woman with some kickass titles under her belt, including money therapist, wealth philosopher, she's an ally of nature and advocate for emotions, top 5% internationally-acclaimed business advisor, and last but not least, a dark chocolate enthusiast.
 
Award winning, 5x career entrepreneur with 20+ years under her comfy Keds (she retired her high heels years ago), Jennifer Love is a thought leader with a heart that matches her name. Her degrees, training, and research in human and organizational behavioural psychology are the foundation for her clinical work.
She’s currently the visionary CEO of the Living Wealthy Institute, helping world leaders develop a healthy relationship with wealth free from overwhelm and anxiety by following a regenerative money equation for a holistic and nourishing experience. Leaders who know how to raise, manage, grow and contribute money can live soulful, wealthy lives to become allies for future generations to come.
She believes ANYTHING is possible while remaining grounded in science and real business practices and hard financial analytics.
On a given day, Jennifer can be found diving deep with a leader in a private money therapy session, taking long contemplative walks and hikes through nature, guiding groups of leaders through workshops and retreats, serving as a guest judge for entrepreneurial events like Startup Weekend, speaking on stage as a Wealth Philosopher, in her art studio shaping her artistic magic onto canvas, preparing entrepreneurs how to land a deal on Shark Tank, working behind the scenes on shows like: Biz Fix with Marcus Lemonis, in her writing studio developing a book or paper, meeting with community leaders and government officials, negotiating with investors (she’s helped raise $100M+), advising leaders of Fortune 200 companies and celebrities through her Living Wealthy Model, OR simply being at home enjoying time with her sweetheart John, her fur-baby Maggie, and her adored garden of plants.
She is beloved by those around her because she gets results. As a former client once said, “With Jennifer, the only possible outcome is success.”

<p>The resources and books I mention in this episode are: </p>
<ul><li>Corrie Sirota’s TedX talk “Loss and Found” </li>
<li>Kristin Neff and her research on compassion </li>
<li>“Daring Greatly” by Brené Brown </li>
<li>“Maybe you should talk to someone” by Lori Gottlieb, and her Ted Talk “How changing your story can change your life” </li>
