The Energy Of Money: Unlocking The Spiritual Science Of Success with Dr. Maria Nemeth.

What if money isn’t just a resource to manage, but a mirror for your consciousness, and a vehicle for awakening to your life’s true purpose?

In this deeply moving and practical episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Maria Nemeth, a renowned psychologist, master certified coach, and author whose groundbreaking work bridges the worlds of spirituality, psychology, and financial empowerment.

Maria is the Founder and Director of the Academy for Coaching Excellence, an internationally accredited training program that has transformed the lives of thousands worldwide. Featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and in Inc. Magazine, she’s best known for her seminal book The Energy of Money: A Spiritual Guide to Financial and Personal Fulfillment, a timeless guide that continues to help purpose-driven people live and lead with clarity, focus, ease, and grace.

Together, we explore Maria’s personal journey from a painful financial loss to a life of profound purpose and service. She shares how a devastating experience in a Ponzi scheme became the catalyst for her mission to help others transform their relationship with money, from fear and scarcity to empowerment and meaning.

Throughout our conversation, Maria reveals that money acts as a form of energy, reflecting our beliefs, values, and level of consciousness. We talk about the difference between honesty and truth, how our relationship with money evolves through life’s stages, and the powerful concept of generativity: using our energy, time, and resources to give life to what truly matters. This isn’t a conversation about financial tactics, it’s about sacred exchange: the flow of energy that allows us to create, serve, and live without regret.

Maria’s humility, humor, and deep wisdom remind us that success isn’t measured by accumulation, but by our ability to channel energy toward what gives our life meaning. Whether you’re navigating financial uncertainty, seeking alignment between purpose and prosperity, or curious about how consciousness shapes your experience of abundance, this episode will invite you to rethink your relationship with money, and rediscover what it means to live a life fully energized by purpose.

Breaking The Coaching Code: How Great Coaches Transcend The Rules with Karen Foy

What if great coaching isn’t about mastering the rules, but learning when and how to transcend them?

In this heartfelt and grounded episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Karen Foy, a Master Certified Coach, Coach Educator, Supervisor, and Mentor with over two decades of experience shaping the next generation of coaches. Karen’s journey began in nursing, where her natural compassion and care for others first took root. Her love of psychology led her into the NHS, where she moved through policy and service development before discovering the transformative potential of coaching. She has since served as Programme Director for Accredited Programmes at Henley Business School, where she remains a Visiting Tutor and Honorary Fellow, continuing to inspire coaches and changemakers worldwide.

Together, we explore the themes in her new book, Breaking the Coaching Code: How Great Coaches Transcend the Rules, and the deeper invitation it offers to those of us who coach to move beyond frameworks and techniques, and instead cultivate trust in our own wisdom, presence, and humanity. Karen speaks with rare humility and openness, sharing how her own path has been a lifelong process of “walking people home” to their unique selves, while continuing that same journey within her own life. We discuss concepts such as enoughness, compassion, the evolving nature of retirement, and what it truly means to live and work with integrity in a world that often demands perfection.

This is a conversation filled with heart and hard-won wisdom, one that will resonate deeply with every coach, guide, and changemaker who believes that our presence, not perfection, is what truly ignites change.

Key Takeaways

• Why great coaching begins where the rules end; trusting your own wisdom and humanity.
• The journey from nursing to coaching and what it reveals about care, service, and transformation.
• How to embrace “enoughness” and coach from your unique authenticity, not expertise.
• What the “second half of life” teaches us about purpose, letting go, and contribution.
• How small acts of compassion and presence ripple out to create a kinder world
