Our lives can be easily divided into sections that can be our masters, or we can be the masters of them. Those sections include: spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and financial.

Many do not realize the financial aspect impacts them on every other level. If we don’t have control over our money, we worry, stress, and often lose sleep.

To go deeper, financial issues rank among the top reasons for relationship failure. And many women stay in abusive relationships because of their fear of money.

That’s why I sat down with the guru of all things money, Allison Baggerly from Inspired Budget. You’ve likely come across her videos on Instagram and TikTok, where she breaks down real people’s budgets. Today, she guides us through her best budgeting advice and how to become the masters of our money once and for all!

So, let’s dive right in…

As we usher in February, many will begin to focus on the heart, on love. As you may have heard me say, love is an experience that is meant to drive us forward and help increase our overall well-being. What’s below that experience is living a heart-centered life. So, what is a heart-centered life?

It’s a life where we live our daily experiences in true alignment with our values, purpose, inner morality, personal experiences, intuition, and connecting with everything that works for us. Doing so requires that we understand some basic principles.  

That’s why I sat down with Cardiologist and Heart-Centered Living Expert Dr. Madalina Petrescu to help us understand how to live through the heart-center, how to get into coherence, and why we must allow intuitive directives to guide us; we even chat about overall health that impacts the heart, and end with the connections each of us needs to live a healthy, grounded, spiritually connected life.

Have you ever uttered, “My heart hurts,” when you’ve been in a trying, stressful, or emotionally complicated situation? It’s common for people to relate to the idea that when things are hard that we experience heartbreak or pain in our heart center.

The heart communicates with the brain and body in four ways: the nervous system, hormones, pulse waves, and our electromagnetic fields. So, when we say our heart hurts, it’s actually true. Likewise, when our emotions become dysregulated, we feel it in our nervous system—in the heart space.

Is it possible to deactivate stress and anxiety by tapping the stressors away? Can we free ourselves of complex emotions through pressure points in the body?

The answer is YES! As we continue discovering different modalities that aid in our healing and reduce stress and negative emotions, we turn our attention to Emotional Freedom Tapping and the Heart-Brain Coherence techniques.
