What if your relationship with money isn’t actually yours?

In this episode of Becoming is Messy, Meghann sits down with Mark Willis—a Certified Financial Planner™, three-time #1 bestselling author, and owner of Lake Growth Financial Services—to explore the powerful connection between money, freedom, and the stories we’ve inherited over time.

After graduating with six figures of student loan debt and witnessing the financial fallout of the 2008 crisis, Mark began questioning the conventional advice so many of us were taught to follow. That curiosity led him to a different approach—one centered on control, clarity, and long-term financial freedom.

Together, they unpack:

• How our earliest experiences shape the way we think about money
• The question that can shift everything: “Who taught you that?”
• Why many financial beliefs go unexamined for a lifetime
• The relationship between money, time, and personal freedom
• The difference between saving money and designing it to work for you
• How to begin thinking differently about your financial future

This conversation is an invitation to step back and examine the narratives you’ve been living by.

Because when you understand the story… you can decide whether to keep it.

You’ve done the work.

The therapy. The journaling. The healing. The breakthroughs.

So why doesn’t your life fully reflect it yet?

In this episode of Becoming is Messy, Meghann sits down with Nicole Frolick—an advanced mystic, transformational healer, and intuitive coach known for her work in collapsing time around transformation and helping clients move from insight into real, embodied results.

Through her frameworks like the Healing Exit Strategy and the Velocity Point Method, Nicole blends deep intuitive work with grounded strategy to help people shift not just how they think—but how they live.

Together, they explore the moment so many people quietly find themselves in—the space between awareness and embodiment.

The space where you’re no longer who you used to be… but you’re not fully living your next level yet.

In this conversation, they unpack what it actually takes for inner work to land in real life:

• Why awareness alone isn’t enough
• The shift from doing the work to becoming the person
• How identity—not effort—creates lasting change
• Why expansion often feels like everything is falling apart
• The difference between calling something in and being able to hold it

This episode is an invitation to trust the in-between.

Because that space?

It’s not stuck. It’s where everything is recalibrating.

And when it finally lands…nothing feels the same.

What if one simple question could completely change the way you handle conflict?

In this episode of Becoming is Messy, Meghann sits down with Elena Sophia Ruiz—human behavior expert, negotiator, and founder of multiple successful HR and leadership organizations—to explore how curiosity can transform the way we communicate, lead, and relate.

At the center of this conversation is a deceptively simple question:

“What makes you say that?”

Instead of reacting, defending, or escalating, this question creates space—for understanding, clarity, and connection.

Together, Meghann and Elena unpack:

• Why most conflict isn’t about the moment—it’s about the pattern beneath it
• How curiosity interrupts emotional reactivity
• The danger of labels and the power of focusing on facts
• How early conditioning shapes the way we communicate as adults
• What it really means to respond instead of react

This episode is an invitation to pause, get curious, and start seeing your interactions—and yourself—through a completely different lens.

Because when you shift from reaction to curiosity, everything changes.
