Ready to rethink everything you were taught about money? 💭

What if money isn’t the thing to chase… but the tool that helps you live your purpose?

In this powerful and perspective-shifting episode, we sit down with financial educator Cathy Tam, single mom, psychology graduate, autism parent, and passionate advocate for legacy planning, to unpack what is really driving our relationship with wealth.

Cathy shares how unexpected financial demands in her own life led her into the world of finance and how she now helps families move from fear to freedom. Her core belief? “Families do not plan to fail, they fail to plan.” And it all starts with understanding your numbers.

But this conversation goes far deeper than budgeting.

Together, we explore:

✨ Why chasing a dollar amount without a deeper “why” often leaves you feeling unfulfilled
✨ How identity and income get tangled up, especially for high-achieving women leaders
✨ What today’s youth are actually saying about money and purpose
✨ Simple ways to teach children financial literacy using practical tools at home
✨ How to shift from trading time for money to making money work for you

If you are a high-achieving leader who feels pressure to prove your value through numbers, this episode will resonate.

We talk about generational scarcity, the stories we inherited about money, and how those beliefs quietly shape our decisions, confidence, and leadership. Cathy beautifully reframes money as something to befriend rather than fear.

As leaders, entrepreneurs, and parents, the conversations we have about money shape legacy.

This episode invites you to pause and ask yourself:

What do I actually want money to do for me?
Where did my beliefs about money come from?
Am I modeling scarcity or possibility for the next generation?

Cathy shares free financial education resources through WealthWave, including the books and challenge mentioned in the episode:

It is about identity, purpose, and stepping into financial confidence without fear.

Have you ever told yourself,
“Okay. This time I’m going to stick with it.”

And then a few weeks later… life happens. The routine shifts. The habit disappears. And suddenly you're questioning your consistency, your discipline — maybe even your identity.

If that sounds familiar, this episode is your reset.

We’re revisiting one of our most powerful conversations with Ronnie Loaiza — behavioral science expert, certified habit coach, master certified life coach, and personal trainer — because the truth about habits is more relevant than ever.

Especially for high-achieving women leaders.

Because here’s what we see all the time: You don’t struggle with ambition or commitment. You struggle with trying to build habits on top of pressure, burnout, and unrealistic expectations.

And your brain? It’s simply doing what it was wired to do.

In This Episode, We Explore:

✨ Why willpower is overrated
✨ The difference between a routine and a habit
✨ What to do when a habit you built suddenly disappears
✨ Why 21 days is a myth (real studies show 85–185 days!)
✨ How to identify the hidden “reward” behind habits that aren’t serving you
✨ The neuroscience behind dopamine, celebration, and momentum
✨ Ronnie’s simple If–Then strategy for creating flexibility without losing progress
✨ Why momentum beats motivation every time

We also go deeper into the pre-work most habit books skip:

Before you build the habit, you have to uncover: What void is this habit filling? What reward am I unconsciously protecting? Does this habit actually align with who I’m becoming?

Because sometimes the habit isn’t the problem.
Sometimes it’s the identity shift happening underneath it.

For the Leader Who…

• Feels pressure to perform at the highest level — always
• Worries about burnout but keeps pushing anyway
• Believes she “should be able to handle it all”
• Wants systems that support her success instead of draining her
• Is ready to work smarter — not harder

This conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

Not with hustle, shame, or more discipline. But with neuroscience, compassion, and strategy.

Reflect As You Listen:

• Where am I relying on motivation instead of systems?
• What tiny action could rebuild trust with myself today?
• What changed in my life that may have disrupted my routine?
• Am I judging myself… when I actually just need a new plan?

High performance doesn’t require punishment. Sustainable leadership doesn’t require self-neglect.

And habits that last? They’re built on awareness, alignment, and celebration.

What if leadership isn’t something you learn one day, it’s something you embody in every single decision?

In this episode, Alex sits down with Sherell Slaise—entrepreneur, leadership mentor, and self-described “yes-to-experience” leader—to unpack what leadership really looks like when it’s lived, not theorized.

From walking away from corporate life, to building multiple businesses, to leading her family, teams, and even a sixth-grade volleyball squad, Sherell shares how confidence is built through experience, decisiveness creates safety, and true leadership is rooted in identity—not titles.

This is a grounded, real conversation about leadership as a lifestyle: how the way you think shapes the way you lead, why certainty only comes after action, and how grit, commitment, and embodiment change results in business, relationships, and life.

You’ll hear Sherell break down the core leadership attributes she lives by—and how high-achieving women can stop overthinking, trust themselves faster, and step fully into the CEO identity they know they’re meant for.

✨ Curious where you’re at in your own leadership evolution?
Sherell also shares her CEO Readiness Quiz, designed to help high-achieving women assess how ready they are to lead at the next level in business. You can take it here:

If you’re navigating big decisions, craving more confidence, or wondering how to lead powerfully without burning yourself out—this episode will meet you right where you are.

🎧 Tune in, reflect as you listen, and notice what shifts when leadership stops being something you chase—and becomes who you choose to be.
