Episode #114 – The Power of Vulnerability with Sabrina Must

/0 Comments/in /by

How do you show vulnerability and handle grief? For Sabrina Must, she took her grief after her sister’s death and wrote a memoir. On today’s episode of Financial Fluency, Sabrina and I discuss the turmoils she’s faced and life as an author among many other topics.

In her day-to-day life, Sabrina is a copywriting consultant at her company Write Less Bad. She helps startups with their decks, proposals, website, and more. Sabrina mentions that life as an author isn’t all that glamorous. She says when you write for big-name sites it’s hard to see the return on investment. Her consultancy business is her means of paying the bills with the intention to build up and monetize her blog.

Sabrina used her raw, intense words to inspire others and provide insight into her life. Her vulnerability allows her to connect with others. She recalls she was finishing college when her sister committed suicide. And writing her memoir, Must Girls Love, helped her process what was going on after her sister’s death. The writing was a creative outlet for her to focus her energy on something. Her book traces family history. It starts with her mom’s side of the family, and it pinpoints the major events she experienced growing up and details her immediate family.

In addition to Must Girls Love, Sabrina wrote for another book, Living Witnesses Faces of the Holocaust. This book is a collaboration with her mom, who is a photographer. It features portraits of the remaining Holocaust survivors. With each picture, there’s a bio Sabrina wrote about the individuals.

Quotes from Sabrina

“When you’re open, other people feel like they can be open with you, too.”

“We’re so quick to label and everyone. People want to understand their place in the world, and people are so quick to make up stories, so things make sense in their head.”

“My whole intention in life is how can I feel happy and how can I feel good? I never want to feel how I felt in my twenties ever again.”

“You can connect with someone who seems far removed, but once you read their experience, you realize you have to be more empathic to those individuals.”

Sabrina is currently working on another book about love and dating. To learn more about Sabrina visit her website here, or follow her on social media:

Episode #109 – Find Your Feminine Power with Phoenix Muranetz

/0 Comments/in /by

Have you ever felt afraid to tap into your creative potential? Today on Financial Fluency, I’m pleased to welcome Phoenix Muranetz. Phoenix is a unification architect, sacred ceremony designer, performer, and writer. Phoenix helps women awaken their leadership by tapping into their innate brilliance, sensuality, and power.

As the co-founder of the Awakened Woman Convergence, Phoenix welcomes men and women of all orientations to this conference. Her goal is to create a safe space where people can feel safe, heard, seen, and come closer to understanding their purpose.

Phoenix explains her current path in life wasn’t something she chose years ago. Originally, she wanted to be involved in the arts and visual arts. But after high school, Phoenix was confused because the message she got from society was that it was “too hard” to be an artist. Being an artist is not a real profession adults pursue. Phoenix tells me It wasn’t until she went to Burning Man that she had her spiritual awakening and discovered her purpose—unifying people together by transformative experiences.

On the show, Phoenix tells me this is the first year they’re opening up the conference to men, and the conference will have workshops for couples to explore their sexuality and creative genius. Also, there will be workshops focused on healing and harmony to help women grow their business and in their personal development.

Wise Words from Phoenix

“If you’re finding blocks in your business, or you’re not finding the flow, connect with a spirit and ask: How is my work connected with the great directive of the planet? Once you know, figure out how you can align with that more.”

From Oct 12th-15th, 2017 in Arizona, Phoenix is hosting the annual Awakened Woman Convergence Leadership Conference. The workshops in the Awakened Woman Convergence are designed to allow you to express yourself radically. Phoenix also notes she can speak to the connection between ‘Pussy’ + Profit. She says, as women, when we open up our Sacral Chakra, we release the shame we’ve carried around our sexuality, and begin to honor our wombs with more presence, profit and prosperity increases exponentially. Phoenix highlights the three top philosophies of Pussy Wisdom so women can reconnect with the flow of abundance and prosperity in their lives in opening up to:

  • Presence vs. Hustle
  • Receiving vs. Taking
  • Expansion vs. Force

Episode #105 – Write Unleashed with Jeanette LeBlanc

/0 Comments/in /by

Do you find yourself making excuses for not writing? Today on Financial Fluency, I’m thrilled to have Jeanette LeBlanc with me. Jeanette is a writer and photographer who founded peace.love.free, a transformational writing workshop that helps writers find freedom in their words.  On the show, we talk about Jeanette’s struggles, truth-telling, and making a mark with your words.

In November 2015, Jeanette was working in a corporate position specializing in content marketing. The marketing department made cuts during the holiday season and let Jeanette go. The layoff turned her life upside down and pushed her to pursue her creative passion—writing. She remembered there was a great sense of panic after getting laid off because she was a single mom raising two children.

About three weeks later, Jeanette realized she didn’t want another job, she wanted to go all in with her writing and created Wild Heart Workshop: 30 Questions To Bring You Closer To Your Wild Heart, which was a precursor to Unleashed. Jeanette tells me the idea was inspired by her own feelings of being lost.  She was without a job, and coping with her failed relationship. So Jeanette decided to write a few prompts to help rediscover herself. She kept writing and 40,000 words later, Jeanette realized she had course content, and wanted to share it with others.

Jeanette believes writing can heal, make sense of our world, and understand what’s happened to us. All it takes is one person who understands or knows what you’ve experienced to help you feel like you are not alone.

When Jeanette wrote about coming out and leaving her then-husband, she had a friend who lost her son at 40 weeks. Her friend was able to talk to her without diminishing Jeanette’s grief, which brought them together. This interaction was the most profound lesson Jeanette learned, to use the power of language.

Jeanette Shares Her Message

“There’s a way to tell stories that invite other people into the narrative who haven’t  experienced life the way you have. When someone sits down to explain their story in a way that allows me to access their experience, my compassion grows, and my understanding of the world grows. It’s a tremendous gift for the writer and anyone who comes across it.”

Unleashed is a 12-week journey with different themes each week; the final week explores universality in writing. Jeanette says this helps writers think past their own experience to connect and help someone else.
