6.12 | Four Models of Matriarchal Wealth Redistribution
6.12 | Four Models of Matriarchal Wealth Redistribution Jul 14, 2026 31:32 I used to drool at the thought of becoming a professional philanthropist. I pictured myself donating my time, wads of money, energy funding women's businesses and ecological projects all around the world.  That image in my head felt like the peak experience, like if I could achieve that it would mean I'd arrived. But when I started studying matriarchal economics and specifically wealth distributi
6.11 | 4 Practices That Break The Scarcity Cycle
6.11 | 4 Practices That Break The Scarcity Cycle Jun 29, 2026 31:29 The energy that drives the matriarchal economy is GENEROSITY. Not performative, one-off donation kind of generosity that happens once a blue moon when the spirit moves you.  I'm talking about the structural, consistent, normalized assumptive generosity of a woman who moves money through community. And internalized scarcity is what stops generosity cold. It doesn't matter how aligned you
6.10 | When Generational Wealth Comes With Generational Scarcity with Marina Pearson
6.10 | When Generational Wealth Comes With Generational Scarcity with Marina Pearson Jun 15, 2026 56:46 What would you do if you lost a parent and suddenly inherited a massive amount of money? What feelings might it bring up for you? Who do you talk about it with? OR: what if you were a recipient of the Great Wealth Transfer, where $34 trillion in investable assets are moving into women's hands by the end of this decade? Even though many people say they would love to be in that position, i
6.9 | Matriarchy is a CHOICE
6.9 | Matriarchy is a CHOICE May 31, 2026 47:28 One thing that's become increasingly clear to me over the last several weeks is that some aspects of creating a matriarchal economy are a CHOICE.  And that by making these choices on the daily we can create the matriarchal economy. I know that sounds too simple, but it's not. Look, I have no doubt that exiting the matrix will absolutely involve a fight in some ways. We will have to fight
6.8 | Financial Fawning Has A Price Tag with Wren Farris
6.8 | Financial Fawning Has A Price Tag with Wren Farris May 16, 2026 54:48 I sat down with Wren Farris (Season 6, Episode 2) to talk about money mistakes.  Money mistakes can mean LOTS of things, like not separating your personal and business expenses, underpricing your services, not setting aside money for taxes.  I thought that was the conversation we're having, but something completely unexpected came up, and you can detect the exact moment it occurred. When
6.7 | Build a Body That Can Hold the Matriarchy
6.7 | Build a Body That Can Hold the Matriarchy May 1, 2026 01:02:02 You cannot build the matriarchy out THERE if the patriarchy is still running the operating system in HERE. That's what this episode is about. Yesterday I recorded something I've been working with for a long time: the six shadows of patriarchal programming that keep you loyal to a system designed to extract from you and hold you in a vibration of fear. In your relationship with money, wit
6.6 | Your YES Indigenizes the Timeline
6.6 | Your YES Indigenizes the Timeline Apr 17, 2026 39:33 There are specific emotions and sensations that arise when the systems that've been organizing your reality reveal themselves and come undone. You've probably experienced this before in your shadow work process. You feel this not because your life is over, but because you're floating in the space between what was and what hasn't formed yet. That void is what this episode is about. We'r
6.5 | Network Marketing is Matriarchal
6.5 | Network Marketing is Matriarchal Apr 2, 2026 39:57 Somebody decided that network marketing was a scam. And that somebody had a lot to lose if women started building wealth outside of systems they controlled.  I've been in this business model for 3+ years, and what I know from the inside is that network marketing, held in matriarchal hands, is one of the most powerful wealth-building structures available to women right now. Low ba
6.4 | The Original Bank Was Us with Farron Harvey
6.4 | The Original Bank Was Us with Farron Harvey Mar 19, 2026 52:26 As patriarchal systems of power crumble, how do we build indigenous matriarchal ones to replace them? How do we operate and thrive as a community without banks? And how do we do this in a way that redistributes wealth and acknowledges the many ways Black and brown folks have been systematically locked out of building wealth?   This is just SOME of what we get into on this epi
6.3 | Restoring the Witness in the Age of Organized Evil
6.3 | Restoring the Witness in the Age of Organized Evil Mar 3, 2026 48:52 The Epstein files are out, and already, the discourse is shifting: Not toward accountability, but toward RESIGNATION.  "It's a psyop."  "They're testing us."  "Nothing will happen anyway." That framing, however sophisticated it sounds, is a form of collapse. And right now, children can't afford for us to intellectualize our way out of feeling. Because the moment we trade rage for a cle
6.2 | Building a Matriarchal Brand Off of Social Media with Wren Farris
6.2 | Building a Matriarchal Brand Off of Social Media with Wren Farris Feb 17, 2026 50:45 Have you noticed that when anyone talks about marketing, your brain immediately goes to social media? And does the thought of that totally kill the vibe? What if you could build a brand that made social media completely optional? Because with social media becoming increasingly surveilled and algorithmically manipulated, many people are looking for decentralized alternatives to share their sou
6.1 | Why Sovereignty Is Your Most Valuable Asset
6.1 | Why Sovereignty Is Your Most Valuable Asset Feb 1, 2026 53:53 During my time in the U.S., while fascism was intensifying, I was tuning into what conversations we need to have to go where we need to go. And the word that kept coming up was SOVEREIGNTY. I broke it down into 5 categories: Economic and Financial  Personal and Individual Energetic and Spiritual Digital and Data Communal and Collective And in the episode, I go into each to provide clarity of
