What does it actually take for women to step into financial agency?

In this episode, Leisa talks with Natalie Levy — engineer, former Wall Street derivatives trader, and founder of She's Independent — about angel investing, what holds women back from writing checks, and how taking action changes your mindset more than anything else will.

Natalie shares how she started angel investing with $10–15K checks early in her career, how the death of her mother cracked open a deeper mission, and why she built a community where women can learn to invest even before they have the capital to do it.

What if the numbers in your spreadsheet aren't judging you — but the part of you that feels that way could use some healing?

In this episode, Leisa sits down with bookkeeper and financial guide Beth Crittenden to explore the deeply emotional terrain of money tracking. Beth brings a rare combination of spiritual depth, empathy, and practical know-how to bookkeeping — and this conversation goes far beyond spreadsheets.

They talk about why so many high-functioning people avoid looking at their numbers, what shifts when people finally face them, and how to build a money-tracking practice that feels more like tending a garden than sitting in the principal's office.

Leisa also shares her own experience of being "fired by her bookkeeper" — and what she learned about herself in the process.

I hit record with a stranger I met on LinkedIn and this is what happened.

Josh Allan Dykstra is an optimistic futurist, keynote speaker, and host of the Hello Tomorrow podcast. He spent two decades inside organizations trying to make them better places for humans to work. By every available metric, the field largely failed. Now he is writing the book that decodes why.

In this conversation we talk about: Why the future is constructed, not inevitable The coming economic reckoning and what life looks like after fiat currency breaks How seasons of history prepare us for what comes next AI, truth, and the discernment we are losing Entrepreneurship as the best preparation for an uncertain world The heart vs. the mind as civilization shifts Non-attachment as a daily practice

Josh also shares something real about going through personal bankruptcy as an entrepreneur. That moment alone is worth the watch.
