On this episode of Money Loves Women, Dr. Deborah Ekstrom shares her own personal journey which brought her to where she is today—a story that takes us back to her childhood on a dairy farm in southern Minnesota.
Dr. Ekstrom shares her early experiences living in a rural community and finding income with few resources from walking through soybean fields to detasseling corn, which grounded her with a strong work ethic and understanding of the value of hard work.

In this episode, host Dr. Deborah Ekstrom recounts the insightful, and eye-opening lessons she learned from the book The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck.
Dr. Ekstrom believes that practicing life with integrity is the single most important thing you can do to attract money into your life. This assertion is discussed in detail in Episode 142 of the Money Loves Women Podcast - Ten Obstacles to Women Building Wealth - Accountability.
Before we uncover how integrity, a life without lies, and wealth are related, it’s important to understand the three types of lies that Beck outlines in her book.
- Black lies: These are deliberate, premeditated deceptions where you're lying with full intent and awareness, usually to hide some kind of unethical behavior or something you're not very proud of.
- White lies: Most of us engage in unconscious and even socially-conditioned white lies. Many wheels of social situations are greased with little white lies because of our collective agreement to tell harmless fibs.
- Gray lies: These lies are duplicitous in that we believe it’s okay to lie a little, but then we rationalize to preserve our concept of ourselves as upstanding citizens.
No matter the type of lie you tell – black, white, or gray – the act of telling a lie wreaks inner havoc on your emotional and physical well-being. More importantly, all of these small lies underpin the biggest lie of them all: I am not loved.
In order to be wealthy, you must first believe that you are worthy. Then, you have to love money back for loving you. If you don't love money, it will feel rejected, and it cannot come into your life. Don’t believe the lie that you are not loved. Inherently, you are lovable. You always have been, and you always will be.
So, what if you challenged yourself not to lie for a week? For 30 days? As you stop lying, you uncover deeper truths. The biggest truth this show is determined to teach? Money loves you. Believe this and money will come into your life.

- Integrity

Meet Sheryl Rouch, CEO of Sparkle Presentations, author, coach, and sought-after speaker. But she wasn't always so confident and poised taking the stage. When she was younger, she struggled with her shyness and it wasn’t until she accompanied her mother on Avon sales calls and joined Toastmasters that she learned to tame the butterflies in her stomach to "fly in formation" and truly shine as a speaker.
Now, Sheryl uses her skills to teach others the power and potential of crystal-clear communication. She understands that effective communication requires more than just the ability to speak well. To truly connect with others, we need to meet them where they are. Every person learns and speaks in their own unique style, and it's up to us to tap into that style if we want to get our message across.
So how do we tap into our friends, colleagues, and family members' communication style? Sheryl uses Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences in her presentations to illustrate the nuances of communication and how we interpret information. By tailoring our message to someone’s individual communication style, we can create a powerful connection that transcends words and touches others on a deeper level.
In this episode, Sheryl discusses the Seven Multiple Intelligences in detail:
- [04:24]: #1 - Linguistic
- [06:52]: #2 - Mathematical
- [08:43]: #3 - Visual
- [11:09]: #4 - Musical
- [13:15]: #5 - Kinesthetic
- [18:28]: #6 - Interpersonal
- [20:15]: #7 - Introspective
As leaders, understanding the unique communication and learning preferences of others is crucial. They encompass the various ways people process and interpret information. By tuning into an individual's language, we can gain valuable insights into their communication style and build interpersonal trust by mirroring it.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Sheryl Roush to learn about the Seven Multiple Intelligences and determine how to communicate with intention and assertiveness. Don't miss out on this insightful conversation that will help you become an effective communicator with more assertiveness through intentional word choice.

Rita Haley is a licensed psychotherapist specializing in anxiety and stress-related disorders. Before establishing a private practice as a full-time therapist, Rita served in the US Coast Guard. She worked in an educational setting for two decades – in elementary and secondary schools, where she focused on school adjustment counseling.
Rita Haley is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, which gave her a heart for children struggling with trauma and encouraged her to focus her career on helping children name and cope with their emotions. She is passionate about understanding trauma and how it affects us in work and relationships.
In this episode, Rita dives into Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (cPTSD). Unlike straightforward PTSD, which develops from a singular traumatic event and triggers occur from sounds, sights, and smells, cPTSD begins after someone experiences relational trauma. The trauma occurs at the hands of a trusted person – a neighbor, friend, or family member. When triggered, cPTSD sufferers have emotional flashbacks and may be flooded by feelings of shame.
So how does cPTSD affect women as they work toward fulfillment in their personal and financial lives?
Rita shares that these women experience anxiety around both failure AND success. The fear of success, criticism, shame, and imposter syndrome. Her advice toward overcoming these thought patterns is: Change your thinking. When you get caught up in your thoughts like, “Am I good? Am I bad?,” remind yourself: You are neither good nor bad. You just are.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Rita Haley to learn about the distinctions between Complex PTSD and Straightforward PTSD. You’ll also learn more about self-esteem, how being a nonconformist can be beneficial as a woman in the workforce, and how attachment traumas are formed in childhood.

- Complex PTSD
- Trauma
- Emotions
- Attachment styles
- Healing
- Self-expression
- Conformity

Jason Yelowitz is a serial entrepreneur with expertise in online lead generation, advertising, and business development. He founded seven companies and currently brokers web-based businesses up to $50 million in value.
The first three businesses that Jason started failed. Two closed simply from bad timing, while the other suffered from too much emphasis on marketing and not enough on profitability. But Jason didn’t let those setbacks stop him. Instead, he used those lessons learned to equip him for the next opportunity. With a $300 investment, his fourth business – a website that connected real estate agents to buyers – expanded to make millions. In 2010, he leveraged all the entrepreneurial experiences he gained in his early career when he joined the team at Quiet Light as a business broker.
In Episode 137, Dr. Ekstrom compared purchasing a business to an escalator when it comes to both becoming CEO and growing your wealth. But what if you’re hesitant about buying or don’t know where to start? Like a real estate broker, a business broker can help illuminate an intelligent path forward. As a seasoned business broker himself, Jason Yelowitz shares the value of working with a qualified professional.
If buying a business sounds too daunting, consider private lending. Also called “hard money” lending. This can be another lucrative path to growing your wealth, this time passively. Jason dives into his experience in private lending and offers several parameters to decrease risk as you start.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Jason Yelowitz to learn more about learning from past mistakes, business brokers, and private lending.
Topics Discussed:
- Business brokers
- Private lending
- Purchasing a business
- Growing your wealth through smart investments

In the last series, “The Top 10 Reasons Women Fail to Grow Wealth”, Dr. Ekstrom detailed the limiting beliefs and typical behaviors that hinder women from creating a wealthy, abundant future. This episode, “10 Obstacles to Women Building Wealth: Accountability”, is all about the panacea to these obstacles: Accountability.
Accountability is arguably the most essential piece of wealth building. But when we consider the word “accountability”, typically our mind goes to the negative. We think of critical feedback or punishment. But what if we rebranded the word? Instead of holding ourselves accountable, we held ourselves capable. If you are encouraged by all the opportunities you have to take action, you feel a sense of freedom. Having choices is powerful.
When you choose accountability for yourself, it drives your decisions, which drives your habits, which drives your planning. When you’re accountable to yourself, you build confidence in your abilities. You’re able to tolerate more risk. Both of which are pillars of building wealth. As you accumulate inner confidence and count on yourself, you teach yourself to imagine a new reality. With imagination, you can create a new vision for your life.
Though accountability is the mindset we should all strive for, there is a tendency to fall back into old, familiar patterns. For many, this pattern is a victim mindset. In this episode, Dr. Ekstrom will discuss the temptations of victimhood and how short-term comfort can prevent long-term personal, relational, and financial success.
Topics Discussed:
- Accountability
- Process improvement
- Imagination
- Building confidence
- Being in demand
- Overcoming a victim mindset
- Drawbacks to holding yourself accountable
- Short-term vs. long-term success

This show is the second of three episodes on The 10 Reasons Women Fail to Grow Wealth, hosted by Dr. Deborah K. Ekstrom, Founder, and CEO of Money Loves Women. In addition to her work with Money Loves Women, Dr. Ekstrom is a sought-after plastic surgeon with 33 years of experience.
Last year, only 56 women were on the Forbes 400 wealthiest people of the year. That number should be at least 200. You don't have to be a billionaire to be considered wealthy. Wealth is relative. But what are women's common mindset slip-ups that prevent them from acquiring and sustaining wealth?
In Part 1 of this series, Dr. Ekstrom discussed the first three archetypes of women who fail with money: comfort seekers, perfectionists, and avoiders. In this episode, Dr. Ekstrom discusses traits four and five: a lack of money confidence, and wishful thinking. Lacking money confidence may prevent women from achieving financial stability, as they often fail to see their role in manifesting money. Women who are wishful thinkers expect someone else to come in and save the day while they drift along in a mediocre, unfulfilled life and fail to even see their financial potential, let alone build any lasting wealth.
The good news? All of the traits discussed in this series are rooted in fear-based thinking. They can be overcome through disciplined reflection, self-improvement, and a change in mindset.
Tune in next week for Part 3 of this mindset-changing series.

- Acquiring wealth

This show is the first in a series of three episodes on The 10 Reasons Women Fail to Grow Wealth, hosted by Dr. Deborah K. Ekstrom, Founder and CEO of Money Loves Women. In addition to her work with Money Loves Women, Dr. Ekstrom is a sought-after plastic surgeon with 33 years of experience.
Before discussing three of the ten reasons women fail with money, a conversation about mindset is needed. How do wealthy people think differently than others in various social classes? People living in poverty are motivated by fear and scarcity. The comfortable middle class prioritizes security over success. The loud rich are flamboyant and often doomed to fail. The wealthy? They're consistent and quiet. People who acquire lasting wealth come from all socioeconomic backgrounds. The traits that differentiate them include constant searching for opportunity, becoming comfortable with risk, and acknowledging their self-worth.
Mindset – along with inherent fear, how you think, and what actions you take or don't – is at the center of the conversation when discussing the first three reasons women fail with money.
The good news? These three traits can be overcome by a change in thinking and an investment in coaching to break the cycle of fear-based thinking.
Tune in for Part 2 and Part 3 of this mindset-changing series in the coming weeks.
Topics Discussed:
- Common money mistakes women make
- Complacency
- Money anxiety
- Overcoming fear

Joan Clark has over 25 years of experience in Human Resources. For the past eight years, she has served as the C.E.O. of JM Clark & Company, where she strives for meaningful discovery and helps her clients “Achieve the Extraordinary.” Since Joan’s first appearance on the podcast (Ep #33), she’s been busy! She’s been writing a book and recently spoke at a women’s conference in California about her new leadership program: Catch the W.A.V.E. (Women Adding Value Everywhere).
Growing up in a rural household in Kentucky, Joan entered the workforce directly after high school. In one of her early jobs, a manager challenged Joan to think about her long-term dreams. She never believed it was possible to go to college, as no one in her family had. Her manager set up a deal with Joan - he would pay for one college course, Joan would try it out and see how she liked it, and then they’d reassess together. This moment was a turning point in Joan’s life. She went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Management and advance her career to ultimately serve as Area Vice President in Human Resources with Parker Hannifin Corporation.
With 25 years of corporate experience and eight years of coaching, Joan Clark believes that when applying for a new role, knowledge, skills, and education gets you in the door. But your self-awareness, willingness to work with others and critical thinking skills will differentiate you from the rest. How can you get that cutting edge? Joan offers many helpful tips in this episode, but here are five to start:
- Become a lifelong learner. (See Joan’s book recommendations below.)
- Get quiet, take a step back, and determine your why.
- Be the one to volunteer for new opportunities at work.
- Support other women.
- Frame what you have to offer… in a way that can be heard.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Joan Clark to learn why Joan transitioned from corporate work to a self-owned business. You'll also learn how becoming clear on your “why” can help you advance your career and what qualities C.E.O.s are looking for in future employees.
Topics Discussed:
- Transitioning from a corporate to a self-owned business
- Vulnerability
- Being a lifelong learner

Walker Deibel is an entrepreneur, mergers and acquisitions advisor, creator of Acquisition Lab, and author of "Buy Then Build: How Acquisition Entrepreneurs Outsmart the Startup Game."
Walker grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. He was influenced by his father and paternal grandfather, who both owned companies, and his mother's side of the family, which was filled with academics and artists. He married those early influences by pursuing an undergraduate degree in English Literature and Religious Studies and later earning an MBA. His career followed a winding route - with stops as a stockbroker, film producer, and in startups. Along his journey, he always asked questions and tried to understand the business side of the industries where he worked.
As Walker became more integrated into the startup community, he realized that most of the conversation in this space centered around creating new businesses….. or, as he refers to it: innovation. But what about purchasing existing, cash-flowing businesses to decrease the owner’s risk? Then apply business skills and know-how to grow the company’s revenues and increase cash flow for the new owner and dramatically increase its value while adding to the overall economy. He realized the acquisition side of the conversation was rarely discussed. In response, Walker spent years researching – talking to stockbrokers, business owners, and investors – and over four and a half years, he outlined the steps and principles for business acquisition, “Buy Then Build.”
Walker Deibel believes that acquiring a business is the fastest way to grow your wealth. Because the major risk, business startup failure is already rung out of the equation, for most people, acquiring a business is a safer and more viable option for long-term success than starting a business. To help people succeed in business acquisition, Walker founded the Acquisition Lab in October 2019. The Acquisition Lab is an elite accelerator for acquisition entrepreneurs looking to buy their first business. It's a vetted community with a high success rate and diverse advisors.
Walker is on a mission to increase the public information available about acquisition entrepreneurship and in the process also empower women, who often are less willing to take risks than their male counterparts and are less likely to have access to capital to purchase their first business.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Walker Deibel to learn the benefits of acquiring an existing cash flowing business versus starting a business from scratch. You'll also learn how to increase your confidence and find support and resources to buy an existing business and how Walker debunks the five myths of entrepreneurship.

Leslie Kuster is the CEO and Founder of Back from Bali, a clothing brand that offers women chic bohemian clothing ethically made in Bali. Leslie is also a business lifestyle mentor, entrepreneur, and author of “7 Keys to 7 Figures: The Women Entrepreneurs' Guide to Money and Freedom.”
Raised by entrepreneurs, Leslie wasn’t encouraged to find a safe and steady corporate job but was taught to go out and create success on her own. At age 24, Leslie’s life changed when two pivotal events occurred: she worked her first corporate job, and her apartment was robbed. Antsy in an office and flush with an insurance payout, Leslie decided to travel. Her travels led her to Bali, where she fell in love with the people and the fashion. When her travels ended and she returned home to the US, she took a leap of faith and flew back to Bali with a business idea: work with Balinese producers to create women's clothing and sell it in the US. Her business, Back from Bali, was born.
Leslie established relationships with amazing vendors in Bali. Most of the artisans she works with are women- or family-owned businesses, and she ensures that her suppliers are paid fairly, which enables them to have autonomy and be in control of their futures. For the first 15 years, Back to Bali sustained a 5-figure annual income. Leslie experienced an internal shift and realized that she desired wealth and wanted to grow her business to a 6-figure business. How did she do it?
- She shifted her mindset: Though Leslie was a business owner, deep down, her inherent money mindset was that a man should be the primary breadwinner. She tackled her “Princess Tower” complex and owned her desire for wealth.
-
She focused her energy: Leslie headed two businesses during this pivotal shift. When her attention was split between two ventures, she was unfocused. Leslie reevaluated and concentrated her efforts on one business.
-
She committed to learning: You don’t know what you don’t know. Leslie was humble and worked with business coaches to challenge her to be her best.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Leslie Kuster to learn how anticipating setbacks and pursuing perseverance is key to being a business owner. You’ll also learn how Leslie overcame inherited money mindsets to grow her wealth and impact in her 50s.

Zanda Kalnina-Lukasevica is the Latvian Parliament's Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But long before Zanda started her career in public service, she grew up in Latvia during a transitional period in the country's history. Latvia was evolving – moving away from Soviet rule and toward self-governance. After finishing college preparatory courses, she studied social work at university and then started a career in public service. At first, she worked at the local level, serving on the city council of her hometown. But after realizing she could help more people at the national level, Zanda applied for a federal position and was appointed to the Strategic Analysis Commission of the Chancery of the President of Latvia. While moving up in her career, she prioritized furthering her education and earned her Ph.D. in Management Science in 2013.
Despite having a small population of less than two million, Latvia has strong cultural traditions that its citizens share with the world – music, and singing being chief among them. Latvia is working toward equal gender representation in its institutions, like academia. Zanda shares that around 50% of Latvian college graduates are women, but the ratio of male to female university professors is not equal. Zanda understands firsthand the value of having women in the room when decisions are made. She represents Latvia on the EU Council, which comprises 27 countries. When impactful policy and peace negotiations are on the agenda, the participation of female politicians adds balance and fosters new perspectives.
Zanda Kalnina-Lukasevica is motivated by improving herself and helping others. Her career and educational achievements demonstrate tenacity and service.

Charles Clay interacts with the world from a grounded, holistic perspective. But, his confidence was not always as strong as it is today. Though Charles grew up in picturesque rural Washington, his childhood wasn’t a fairytale. Clay’s parents divorced when he was four years old. This trauma colored his future beliefs on nearly everything: confidence, purpose, money, and career. It took another trauma, a skiing accident in 2008, for Charles to face his inherited internal blockers. While suffering from back pain after his accident, Charles discovered NeuroKinetic Therapy®, or NKT. Inspired by the teachings from NKT, Clay created new programs – The InnerPeace Process and The Laser Focus Method – that he uses with his clients today.
Pain can serve as a powerful indicator in our bodies and our minds, like a check engine light alerting us that something is not quite right. Charles believes that we often overlook the messages that our bodies send us. He implements The InnerPeace Process with his clients to unlock the root cause of their unease and help free them from it. Often, physical pain shows up as a symptom of unresolved emotional problems under the surface: anger, stress, and resentment.
Charles challenges you to ask: what is my body telling me? And what should I do about it? From his experience, Charles knows that when you’re aligned with your emotions, existing patterns are challenged. After his parents' divorce, he inherited two money mindsets. From his dad, that money was a roller coaster. From his mom, there was never enough money to go around. Understanding the origin of his money mindset allowed Charles to own his past patterns and gave him a boost to create a new future for his finances.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Charles Clay to learn about the power of uncovering the root cause of our pain, and unlearning and reshaping our money mindsets.

Born in Pakistan to an upper-class family, Tehmina Jesrai felt supported by her faith at an early age and was never allowed to feel entitled despite her family's social and economic standing. Tehmina’s father was a well-connected businessman, and when business took him to London, her family followed.
While living in London, Tehmina’s family coordinated an arranged marriage with the son of another family of Pakistani origin, named Tariq, a man that Tehmina recognized as ambitious and worthy of partnering with. After the wedding, the couple moved to the United States to begin their life together. Tehmina and her husband had three sons, and while Tariq advanced his career, Tehmina served as their children’s primary caregiver. Despite her primary role in the home, Tehmina was always included in the finances and knew the couple’s investments intimately. Eventually as her children grew older she explored the world of business, despite no formal training.
Tehmina was always inspired by fashion. Her dad was a socialite in Pakistan, and Tehmina grew up around Pakistani style worn during formal events. This love inspired her to start her own business in 2006, where she designed and supplied Pakistani fashion to women in the US. Tehmina left the company in 2018, which allowed her sister to take the reins. Tehmina then focused solely on philanthropic endeavors.
Tehmina was later recruited to join the nonprofit Developments in Literacy (DIL) as a board member. Her spirituality attracted her to giving back to the children of her homeland through this particular nonprofit which provides low-cost, high-quality education to thousands of children across Pakistan—currently educating over 29,000 students in 138 schools. Through her positions in DIL Tehmina grew her confidence in her ability to achieve and create extraordinary value.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Tehmina Jesrai to learn about Tehmina’s early influences and journey from Pakistan to London to the US. You’ll also discover how Tehmina’s faith factored into her 30+ year marriage and inspired her to give back to DIL.

Tania Vasallo grew up in Spain in a patriarchal family in an already patriarchal country. Stifled by the status quo and the certainty that boys had it better, Tania pursued her studies and began a career as an art director in New York City.
Though she worked with noteworthy accounts on the scale of Starbucks and Nabisco, Vasallo felt constrained by the trappings of corporate America with its limited vacation and male-centric staffing.
Tania’s desire to change careers was magnified when she experienced a considerable loss in the value of her retirement account during the 2008 financial crisis. She knew that with increased knowledge and freedom, a mistake of this magnitude wouldn’t happen again.
Fast forward to 2017, Vasallo founded The Courage to be Happy – a supportive community that empowers passionate, heart-centered women entrepreneurs worldwide to become financially empowered so they don’t have to depend on others.
On this episode of Money Loves Women, join Dr. Deborah Ekstrom and Tania Vasallo to learn more about Tania’s work with entrepreneurs.

After leaving a toxic financial firm where the “boys club” was the norm, Nicholle shifted to start her own business.

Throughout her teens and early 20s, Amanda Holmes envisioned her life as a singer-songwriter.
But after completing her studies in music at USC’s Thornton School of Music, Amanda’s future drastically changed.
Her father, Chet Holmes, was diagnosed with cancer. Chet lost his battle with cancer, and his company, Chet Holmes International, was left without a leader. Enter 24-year-old Amanda Holmes, who has suddenly inherited her father’s business.

Over time, Amanda’s experience and confidence within the business grew, and in the past few years, she worked hard to adapt her father’s teaching materials and book to be relevant for the 21st century, removing sections on mailers and faxes and adding tips on engaging with customers via email and the internet.

Talia McKinney, as seen on Bravo TV's Million Dollar Listing New York, approaches real estate with the belief that success is built upon the strength of the relationship. She is patient and attentive when listening to client needs and goals, and her sincerity, honesty, and innate ability to connect are how she makes this time-consuming and often emotional process as easy and pleasant as possible. It is also why, after working with her, many of her clients refer her to friends and relatives.
Talia works with buyers, sellers, developers, and renters all over the city—and particularly in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. In her seven years in the industry, she has compiled a substantial record of listings and sales that includes co-ops, condos, townhouses, and new developments at multiple price points. Her thoroughness and commitment distinguish her from typical agents, and her steady guidance has led to success and satisfaction for her clients.
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Talia was recruited to run track at a state college and helped her team become state champions. After graduating, she moved to New York City and explored careers in fashion public relations, event planning, and hospitality. Now an established presence in the real estate community, she was sought out to be a TEDx speaker and is the host of the exclusive LISTED show, 3 in a Million.
When she isn’t running around Manhattan selling condos and co-ops or dashing to an afternoon townhouse showing in Brooklyn, Talia can be found volunteering at Achilles International, NY Cares, or the Boys and Girls Club. She competes in triathlons and marathons—what better way to train for the next sprint to an open house?—and is also an avid world traveler, having been to over 40 countries.

When Nick Christian was a kid, he always wanted to be a businessman. He didn’t know what that meant, but he enjoyed walking around with his dad’s old briefcase full of Monopoly money and Fruit Roll-Ups. Nick’s father was a businessman who traveled the world, and his grandfather before him. He wanted to be like them. By the time Nick got to college, he had pursued a bachelor’s degree in international business. In his spare time, he was learning as much as he could about the stock market.
Professionally, Nick spent most of his career working his way up the ladder in different accounting and finance departments both in the U.S. and abroad—initially as a financial analyst, then as a manager, and most recently as a director of finance and data analytics. Somewhere in the middle, he got itchy feet and took two years to complete an MBA in China.
Nick spent both my undergraduate and graduate years learning to analyze financial statements but the dangers of predatory lending from high-interest credit card companies were not part of his consciousness. He was encouraged to work at large corporate banks, but no one ever discussed how these banks were making billions charging overdraft fees that especially prey on the most vulnerable Americans.
Amanda Christian dreamed of being a physician since she was a child. She wanted to help people in a meaningful way and pursue her interest in science. Amanda attended the University of Chicago, where she received her bachelor’s degree in biology. Those were challenging years financially, and she needed to be resourceful to stay in school. Amanda participated in the work-study program at the university and obtained Pell Grants for financial support.
During her time in Chicago, she had several odd jobs to make ends meet. Amanda worked full-time in the summers doing research, and also made money tutoring, nannying, house-sitting, and several odd jobs found on Craigslist. Despite her best efforts, she still graduated with student debt. It wasn’t ideal, but she accepted it and moved forward.
After graduating, Amanda spent a few years in San Diego. At first, she got a job working in a loan department for a mortgage company. About six months later, she landed the position she was after a research position in the pediatric neurology department with the University of California, San Diego.
After a couple of years, Amanda decided to move back home to Oklahoma and apply for medical school as an in-state resident. She was accepted into medical school at the University of Oklahoma and completed her OB/GYN residency at Texas Tech University. Amanda has been practicing medicine since 2017, with lots of lessons learned along the way.
Nick and Amanda are excited to share the lessons we’ve learned about personal finance throughout the years with you!
Nick and Amanda wanted to create a guide for people in every stage of their careers, from students in school with little to no income to those who have completed their studies and are beginning to reap the rewards of years of hard work. That is why they created Money Over Milkshakes. They wanted to create a casual and comfortable space to discuss all things financial—a space not influenced by advertisers or corporations offering kickbacks to promote their products…...just good honest advice.
What You Will Learn:
- How living in Malta influenced Nick, and his desire to understand other cultures

Lauri Headly explains the significance of good sleep patterns to our brain health and our overall well-being.
Lauri’s fascination with the physiology of sleep began more than 30 years ago when as a respiratory therapist she saw a patient with sleep apnea for the first time. It stimulated her to become a sleep technologist. Lauri remembers her very first patient who woke up after a sleep study and said, “Wow, I've never dreamt before and l last night I had dreams!” It was a turning point in her career.
Our culture, in general, does not recognize the human body's need for adequate sleep. Lauri was guilty of this for years. Chronic pain had interrupted her sleep and life for as long as she could remember and she continued to ignore it.
It wasn't until Lauri’s second cancer diagnosis that she found herself struggling to fall asleep and stay asleep that she knew that the lack of sleep was impacting her body's ability to heal. Lauri experienced first-hand the results of having a long-running pattern of sleep loss and its effect on her health.
Lauri’s health challenges over the years fed her desire to change lives. Now she’d like to help you overcome your battles.

Sonja Pemberton is a speaker, consultant, and coach. She fled from the corporate world to pursue more heart-based work to dispel the myth of ‘other.’ “As part of humanity labeled as other, I illuminate and stand resolute in the need to stop the conscious and unconscious inclination to (label people unlike ourselves as) ‘other.’ Embodying intentional, persuasive, and meaningful actions, I authentically articulate the impact of othering. By actively dispelling the myth of the other, we empower advocacy, allyship, and influence. The outcome is an understanding and acknowledgment of how we (label people as) ‘other’ and the uncovering of opportunities to eradicate this construct in our global society using a contemplative awareness-based approach.” The movement she has founded, Dispelling the Myth of the Other, has been spoken on and taught worldwide.

Dr. Deborah Ekstrom was raised in the rural upper midwest where the wind blows 365 days a year (admittedly creating energy production opportunities but also wreaking havoc with your hair), and there are only two seasons...winter and highway construction. The rural area of her birth is a place where neighbors still feel responsible for one another.
In addition to the Southern Minnesota prairie lands, she spent part of her formative years in Europe which contributed to the development of her identity as an American and world citizen and as a lover of diverse peoples and cultures.
She has always supported the concept of personal realization through a designed life created with intention and enjoys knowing others in-depth, and resourcing others toward a successful and significant life journey.
While plastic surgery allowed her to assist others in recreating themselves in their next most beautiful iteration, she desired to find a way to create value for others on a greater scale. Personal achievement and wealth building have been major drivers behind her life and led to the development of Money Loves Women—a multimedia platform designed to cut through the noise and chaos of today's messaging and provide actionable ways for women to design the life of their dreams for meaningful personal and professional success.

Agatha Johnson, known for being intuitive regarding people, is the founder and owner of WillKate, an organization focused on exploring and potentiating “purpose” as regards personal and family wealth.
Aggie has years of experience working with clients who desire and value trusted expert wealth advice and guiding them on how to be successful in life by finding the financial freedom to accomplish their purpose and dreams. She cares about each client's success and takes the time to get to know the families and organizations she works with on a personal level. Aggie has worked with a wide range of clients, from families in business and high-income earners to medium-to-high net worth clients and ultra-net worth clients.
After decades of working with individuals, families, and businesses, Aggie realized that most people focus on two specific areas of wealth planning, financial decisions and estate planning, which causes many to struggle with their choices. Aggie’s approach looks at the bigger picture; her expertise is in helping clients adapt to wealth, understand their relationship with wealth, and realize their purpose and vision. This creates the foundation for experiencing a greater opportunity to achieve dreams and lasting effects for different stages in life and future generations.
Agatha’s multi-disciplined approach guides six elements of wealth: financial, spiritual, human, family, structural (how things are owned and used), and societal. She helps clients define the opportunities they wish to create for themselves, family members, people, causes, and communities for which they care. Aggie has used this approach to work through many scenarios of opposing dynamics which can oftentimes create complexities and complications. She believes having a strong path will provide the opportunity for lasting legacies.
Agatha is married to Craig, has four grown sons, three wonderful daughters-in-law, and many beautiful grandchildren. When not working with her family of clients she can be found enjoying time with her family, traveling with her husband, hiking, and giving back to the community.

Kaitlyn Carlson is the Founder & CEO of Theory Planning Partners, a concierge financial advisory firm tailored to elevating the missions and passions of 7-figure female entrepreneurs. After cutting her teeth in asset management, Kaitlyn spent the majority of her career at UBS Financial Services, holding roles in both the South and Northeast regions of the USA, where she developed more than 300 financial plans for clients with assets ranging from $500,000 to $1 billion. Subsequently, she became an advisor on a private wealth management team that managed over $600 million for a few dozen families.

She's learned from her own experience as a woman in business that transcending limiting beliefs, building confidence, and intentionally stepping out of one's comfort zone is essential to the success of any company, and she made it her mission to help untangle the complicated web of building personal wealth alongside the growth of a thriving company.
Outside of work, Kaitlyn is a spiritual seeker ravenous to understand why we are here and how to forge a meaningful life.

All good dental practitioners know that every tooth has a story. But it's only the great ones who recognize that it's peoples stories that really matter. Because understanding where your peers and patients are in their journeys is the key to building strong relationships and a stronger practice, and it's all rooted in self-empowerment.
Dr. Sonia Chopra knows a thing or two about this. You don't become the first female endodontist in Charlotte, NC (and board-certified, to boot) without a serious growth mindset and a strong dose of hustle. Her entire career has been characterized by pushing herself and empowering others to grow as entrepreneurs, leaders, and patient advocates all in the service of creating a more educated, balanced field.
Because Sonia refuses to mind the dentistry status quo. When no one would hire her out of residency, she started her own practice. When she felt she was losing time with her family due to how many hours she was spending in the office, she became more intentional with her schedule. And when she realized she could save more teeth and improve people's lives by providing dentists and endos with the proper education, she took it upon herself to lead the charge.
Now, on top of running her thriving practice, Sonia provides groundbreaking digital education and community support to general dentists and endodontists who want to uplevel their technical skills, patient experience, and overall business models. Through her thoughtfully designed online course, E-School, she is revolutionizing the reputation of endodontics through the simple, tangible lessons rooted in her own diverse experience. By empowering dentists to perform better root canals, empowering endodontists to run better practices, and empowering patients to make better health decisions, Sonia is paving a new way forward for the next generation of healthy, confident, empowered people both in and out of the chair.
What You Will Learn:
- What it was like growing up in an Indian household

Dr. Deborah Ekstrom was raised in the rural upper midwest where the wind blows 365 days a year (admittedly creating energy production opportunities but also wreaking havoc with your hair), and there are only two seasons…winter and highway construction. The rural area of her birth is a place where neighbors still feel responsible for one another.
In addition to the Southern Minnesota prairie lands, she spent part of her formative years in Europe which contributed to the development of her identity as an American and world citizen and as a lover of diverse peoples and cultures.
She has always supported the concept of personal realization through a designed life created with intention and enjoys knowing others in-depth, and resourcing others toward a successful and significant life journey.
While plastic surgery allowed her to assist others in recreating themselves in their next most beautiful iteration, she desired to find a way to create value for others on a greater scale. Personal achievement and wealth building have been major drivers behind her life and led to the development of Money Loves Women—a multimedia platform designed to cut through the noise and chaos of today’s messaging and provide actionable ways for women to design the life of their dreams for meaningful personal and professional success.

- The Ten Roads to Riches
Silvia Kučėnaitė Foti, MSJ, MAT, MFA, is a journalist, creative writer, teacher, and mother. Silvia holds Masters’ degrees in Journalism, Education, and Creative Nonfiction has been a journalist for twenty years, has published two mystery novels, and has been a high school English teacher since 2007.
With a Master’s in Journalism from Northwestern University, Silvia has extensive experience in writing nonfiction and has written for a variety of publications, including the Chicago Tribune, Southtown Economist, Southwest News-Herald, Crain’s Chicago Business, Chicago Parent, LA Parent, Buenos Aires Herald, Argentine News.
After she earned her Master’s degree in Journalism, she moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to live with her great aunt, her grandfather’s sister, while recording many stories about her legendary grandfather. At the same time, she wrote movie reviews and features for the Buenos Aires Herald and Argentine News, photographed polo players for Polo News, taught English to business executives, and learned how to speak Spanish fluently.
Upon her return to Chicago, she worked for the Academy of General Dentistry, where she managed its flagship monthly newsmagazine AGD Impact, as well as its major communications pieces. She left the AGD to form her own freelance writing company called Lotus Ink, and worked from home while raising two children, Gabriel and Alessandra. As a freelance writer, she wrote content for several websites, columns for newsmagazines, and feature articles for several publications, including Crain’s Chicago Business, Southtown Daily, and Real Woman Magazine. She won an Honorable Mention Award from Parenting Publications of America for her spot-news feature on “Are we scaring our kids silly?” published in Chicago Parent.
While working as a journalist, she wrote two mystery novels featuring a journalist who covers paranormal events. Skullduggery, published by Creative Arts, received a positive review by the Library Journal: “A highly appealing, up-front heroine and a novel look at Chicago politics make this an attractive first mystery.” The Diva’s Fool, published by Echelon Press, garnered The Lovey Award from the Love Is Murder Conference for Best Paranormal/SciFi /Horror.
She shifted gears and decided to become a high school English teacher to allow her to write her grandfathers story during the summer school break. She pursued a Master’s in Teaching at National Louis University, then joined the staff of Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy, a selective public high school that attracts a diverse student body.
In the meantime, during her school breaks, she kept researching and writing about her grandfather.
After several rewrites and rejections, she realized her journalism training and objective reporting style were inadequate for the complicated and subjective scope of this project. She decided to pursue a second writing degree, this time an MFA in Creative Nonfiction at Murray State University in Kentucky. She published a memoir piece about her experience at a diaconate retreat in the literary magazine Dappled Things and was awarded second place in its 2015 Jacques Maritain Prize for Nonfiction.
Silvia speaks English, Lithuanian, and Spanish fluently. She grew up speaking Lithuanian exclusively in her home in Chicago, attended Lithuanian Saturday School for ten years, and was a member of several Lithuanian organizations, including scouts, a dancing group, a volleyball club, and Futurists, a Catholic organization.
Most of her summers were spent at Lithuanian camps in Michigan, where she learned more about her heritage. As a teenager, she worked at a hospital founded by Lithuanian nuns, at a printing company that published Lithuanian publications, and for Lituanus, a Lithuanian-American quarterly. At home, she heard countless stories about her grandfather from her mother and grandmother and was raised to adore him, as well as the homeland.
Silvia is an involved and practicing Catholic. Her most touching ministry involves SPRED–Special Religious Education for youth with developmental disabilities, such as autism or cerebral palsy.
Besides reading, writing, and listening to classical music, she likes to walk, swim, do strength-training, and experiment with the latest diet fad because she’s always trying to be on a diet. She is passionate about the subject of heroin addiction. Her daughter, Alessandra, dated a young man who introduced her to the deadly drug and by her third exposure was helplessly addicted. She succumbed to an overdose at the age of twenty-one in 2015. This might be the subject of a future book.

Dixie Decker has extensive experience with complex real estate transactions, but specializes in the niche called student housing, turning regular single-family homes into multiple paychecks producing double and sometimes triple other rentals! Her expertise is reflected by going from bankrupt to millionaire in less than 3 years, without using her own money or credit, (because she simply didn’t have any when she was forced to start over in her life). Now having over 200 student tenants producing rental income, she continuously leverages her knowledge of wholesaling, lease options, owner financing, and home renovation.
She has bought, financed, and over-seen real estate transactions in excess of 26 million dollars and raised over 5 million dollars in private lending through her current business model and now teaches her system to others to help make them successful.
Dixie’s success can be attributed in large part to her team-building talents, and her practices and procedures for automating the business (from the buying, selling, renting, down to the marketing and back end bookkeeping), all made simple with cutting edge business systems. Through the hands-on experience of real estate investing in hundreds of deals, she differentiates herself with her customer service and quick response time as an example of soft marketing tech

“I am woman, hear me roar” is Sydney Metzmaker’s motto. If a challenge is presented in front of her, she attacks the challenge instead of shying away.
She roars. It all started when she almost quit club soccer at the young age of 10 years old. For club soccer, you had to try out and be selected to make the team. Sydney attended most but not all of the tryouts, choosing to attend the DARE session at school for one of the days. She felt she made the right choice at the time, however, when selections were made and she was not chosen for the A team but rather the B team, she was heartbroken. Her pride was hurt and, at that moment, she realized she really truly wanted to make the A team, but her actions didn’t show her intent. Sydney decided to attend the first practice with the B team and see how she felt afterward. She showed up, looked around at the other players in attendance, and instantly felt frustrated. These players didn’t care about the game like she did is what she concluded. After the first practice, Sydney’s father asked her point-blank if she wanted to remain on the B team or quit? He continued to say, if she quit, she had to quit the game of soccer altogether. Her initial reaction was to quit. She was frustrated and felt she had lost something special by not being selected for the A-team. However, Sydney thought about his words just a little longer, and she thought about how much she would miss the game of soccer if she quit. Sydney responded with, “I am not quitting. I will make this team into the A-team.” Her father beamed with pride and said, “Ok! Then let’s get to work!” The very next practice Sydney took a moment to meet with everyone on the B team, to get to know them. She then proceeded to act like a leader in their presence. Sydney wanted to show them what it took to play the game the way it should be played. She worked hard, harder than she had ever worked before. Her coach noticed her enthusiasm and decided to schedule an exhibition game versus the A-Team at the end of the season. She was even more motivated than before when she heard this news. Her season went very well considering some of the players had never played soccer before. They ended up with a winning season overall playing against other B team club teams. Finally, it was the day of the exhibition game. Sydney’s coach asked the team to show up 15 minutes earlier than normal. He gave an amazing speech that day and Sydney followed him by saying, “We are all winners and I know, without a doubt, that regardless of the outcome of this game, we are all true soccer players.” They all played like it was the last game they would ever play. The result? They tied the A team even in double overtime. It was a moment in time Sydney will never forget.
No one knows your true worth unless you show it to them; unless you roar. Sydney’s keys to success are to never give up on something you love. Show others your true roar. When facing a challenge, address it head-on looking at the problem holistically.
Now she is 35 years old, She has a Bachelor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering, Masters in Architecture-based Enterprise Systems Engineering, over 10 years of experience in engineering both technical and business positions. Currently, Sydney is the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of a software engineering company and she is just getting started in her career.

Michelle’s earliest memories from childhood all relate to money. And yet, the stories and lessons learned from different branches of her family tree couldn’t be more dichotomous!
Michelle has used the money lessons from her life to rethink how financial advisors and their clients have traditionally worked together. Rather than thinking of her role as a gatekeeper of portfolios, she sees real value in being a gateway to personal financial freedom.
To support her clients on their unique wealth journeys, Michelle is a technician of financial planning, investment, and wealth management. But what differentiates Michelle from other financial advisors is that she has spent the last two-plus decades studying the unconventional, non-financial aspects of life satisfaction, financial therapy (it’s a thing), behavioral bias, choice, and decision advising.
She believes we all need to examine the money stories, scripts, and lessons that affect our financial psychology so that we can rethink what we know about money to have more of it.
Michelle lives in Wyckoff, NJ with her husband, Mike and sons, Alex and Nick. She is an avid photographer – her sons are her favorite subject!
What You Will Learn:
- What it means to think outside the box but inside the brain
- Michelle’s strong interest in money and emotion
- Michelle’s role as a wealth advisor/counselor and how it is affected by her unique perspective of money
- How our unique exposure to money throughout our life still affects us today
- How Michelle helps her clients through different types of dysfunctional financial behaviors

Dr. Deborah Ekstrom was raised in the rural upper midwest where the wind blows 365 days per year (admittedly creating energy production opportunities but also wreaking havoc with your hair), and there are only two seasons…..winter and highway construction. The rural area of her birth is a place where neighbors still feel responsible for one another.
In addition to the Southern Minnesota prairie lands, she spent part of her formative years in Europe which contributed to the development of her identity as an American and world citizen and as a lover of diverse peoples and cultures. She has always supported the concept of personal realization through a designed life and enjoys knowing others in-depth, and resourcing others toward a successful and significant life journey.
While plastic surgery allowed her to assist others in recreating themselves in their next most beautiful iteration, she desired to find a way to create value for others on a greater scale. Personal achievement and wealth building have been major drivers behind her life and led to the development of Money Loves Women—a multimedia platform designed to cut through the noise and chaos of today’s messaging and provide actionable ways for women to design their lives for meaningful personal and professional success.
