"We're trying to rob Peter to pay Paul," was a phrase I heard a lot growing up. Seemed like everybody was just one check away from being flat broke. As a result of hearing these constant stories of lack and financial insecurity, I had to unlearn the "language of lack" and rewrite my money story.
Can you relate?
That's why as parents, we should be mindful of our words. What we say about money and how we interact with it is either going to teach our kids the language of lack or the language of wealth.
In this episode I share 3 familiar phrases that we should avoid at all costs if we want our children to learn the language of wealth.
- Do I look like an ATM to you?
- We don't have the money for that.
- Money don't grow on trees!
Listen to get recommendations on what you should say instead.

I hate waking up with a feeling of panic, anxiety and dread but lately that’s what’s been happening. I found a way to combat it but I couldn’t help but wonder, “why is this occurring?”
Through self-reflection, I discovered I was feeling this way because of the constant pressure to keep up with the never-ending demands of work and life. Add social media to the mix and it makes the pressure that much worse.
Thankfully we can always reset and recalibrate and that’s exactly what I did. I found 4 new ideas to embrace to redefine success for me. I share them all in this episode.

Dani Buie has always loved helping people. So much so that when people came to her for guidance on how to transition into different careers, she would help them for free!
It didn't dawn on her that she could make good money as a coach or consultant until one of her free sessions ended with the woman saying, "I'd pay good money for the valuable insights you just gave me!"
That was just the push Dani needed to start her entrepreneurial journey while maintaining her full-time job.
In this episode, Dani shares part of that journey with us. Listen in as she explains:
- The transition from free coaching to paid coaching
- The timeline between officially starting her business to get the first in a long line of paid clients.
- How her business changed when she began scaling and focusing on organizational clients.
- How she manages her business while still working full time
- How much revenue she's bringing in now, after less than 3 years in business.
- How she's building generational wealth intentionally and she's under the age of 35.
Dani also shares a compelling and emotional story about the "non-traditional" ways her mom invested in her and how Dani is paying her back.

Sisternomics is produced by OverFlow(R) Enterprises, a black, woman-owned coaching and content development company.
After coasting for years as a solopreneur, rapid expansion and new opportunities have begun to flood into OverFlow Enterprises. Suddenly this small operation is faced with the choice of turning away new business to keep things "manageable" or increasing it's capacity by scaling.
But what does it mean to scale? At what point should a business do it and how do you start?
These are some of the questions staring me in the face right now and I've got the perfect person to shed light on it. He's scaled his business from 0 to more than $100 million in revenue and it just so happens we live together.
In this episode, my husband Tony R. Kitchens stops by the Sisternomics studio and shared some battle-tested insights about what scaling is and isn't and why getting back to business basics may be the best advice despite what you hear from all the gurus out in these internet streets.

When tickets first went on sale for Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour, people went cray-zee! Some of the excitement was because she hadn't toured in a while but there was also shock because some tickets were selling for $2,000 and more!
Meanwhile, over here at camp Sisternomics, we were singing Beyonce's praises. Why? Because through something as simple as a pricing strategy, Beyonce gave us a powerful example of what it looks like to know your value and own your worth AND to keep our emotions out of our money.
You need to be ok with saying "yesterday's prices are NOT today's prices!"
In this episode, I'll take a few minutes to unpack why it is so important to know your value and own your worth and HOW you can do so.

Kicking off Season 7 of Sisternomics is a quick conversation that will help you re-ignite your passion for that idea, project or big vision that you were once so excited about but for whatever reason, you abandoned it or never pursued it.
I’m talking about that one big idea that--even though you had to put it to the side--every now and then, it creeps back into your consciousness and you say to yourself, I still want to do that, I still want to write that book, I still want to go after my dream.
I’m here to tell you that your dream is not dead and right now is the time for you to revisit and resurrect that dream.
Here are 5 questions to ask yourself to help you decide whether or not you should to resurrect your dream: 1. Who would benefit if you pursued this dream right now and shared it with the world? 2. If you had one year to live, is this one of the things you would want to pursue before you die? 3. Will you regret not pursing this dream one year from today? 4. Has this been a dream that has kept you awake at night, or caused you to collect LOTS of research or has consistently been on your mind for seven years or more? 5. Does this dream have any profit potential attached to it?
Those are the 5 questions to ask yourself to determine if you should reignite or resurrect that dream!
Many of us have had dreams and aspirations at some point in our lives, but sometimes life can get in the way and we may lose sight of those dreams. Re-igniting your dreams is an important step towards finding fulfillment and purpose in life. Remember, it's never too late to start living the life you've always dreamed of.

When someone is an expert in their field, with decades of experience and a passion for their profession, leaving the safety of what they know and jumping on the content creation train may seem futile to most people — maybe even foolish. After all, why would anyone want to mess up a good thing?
For today’s Sisternomics guest, Sharron Miles Gilty, pivoting in her career as a hairstylist to share her knowledge on YouTube was an easy decision. Like any new venture, she experienced failure and made mistakes, but she learned the YouTube game and created a viral empowerment movement called Go Gray Be Chic.
Sharron talks about the spiritual awakening that led to this major life change at age 50, and the small wins that helped her reach every milestone of new subscribers. She also reveals how she’s monetizing her channel and on her way to living what she calls a “laptop luxury lifestyle.”

Sister has a vision that will inspire you. She left the job of her dreams, moved to another country and grew her side hustle into a full-time business that operates (and flourishes) without her being involved in the intricate, day-to-day details.
She and her husband also invest in real estate and strongly believe in tithing, giving and saving. They live on a small percentage of their income and save and invest the rest. Their goal is to become Deca millionaires (that's millionaire times 10).

You have a brand whether you know it or not. These days, your branding game gotta be tight.
- When you show up, whether it's in person or on social media, what comes to mind for people the people who see you?
- What does YOUR audience say about who you are and what you do when you are not in the room?
- Do you know the difference between your brand and branding?
- Most importantly, how do we as ambitious women entrepreneurs use social media to get clients, not just likes and follows?
These are some of the questions I asked Amie Thompson in this episode of Sisternomics. Amie is the CEO of Creative Allies, a digital marketing firm for entrepreneurs. Even though she's a self-proclaimed introvert, she's figured out how to use marketing and content to grow. Her vibe is super laid back and we had fun talking about how to turn social media posts into paying clients and profits.
