Marriage, Money & Mayhem: Recent Episodes
Kara Ayala
Welcome to Marriage, Money & Mayhem with host, Kara Ayala! Our mission is to empower you to live on your own terms and expand your mind to new ideas and opportunities! We're here to not just tell you, but teach how you can have financial abundance without sacrificing your relationships. We want it all, the relationships, the health, and the money! Join us on Marriage, Money and Mayhem on the journey of loving who we are, sharing our gifts to the world, and growing our relationships with the people we care about most!
God has you. He thinks bigger than our earthly minds can comprehend. In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts around navigating one of the most difficult seasons and how (especially in hindsight) I can see how God has led me to the right places and people to help me through it. I touch on a few topics around mindset, from getting gritty in your business to build momentum to how you can think bigger if you listen to the messages God has for you. Another common theme you’ll hear in this episode is the power of having the right people in your life and focusing on relationships before everything else. Family, friends, coaches, and mastermind groups are all there to help support you and for you to support in return as we all grow together! God has you, the people that love you have you, you don’t have to do life alone!

Today we are discussing different seasons where we may be saying yes more often to more things, or no more often to more things. We talk about why we go through these different seasons, the idea of surrender and pushing through to do uncomfortable things, and how you can know whether you are in a yes or no season.

Today we are talking about staying out of the victim mindset, instead choosing an overcoming mindset and empowering yourself to take on the challenges that life will inevitably throw towards you. Whether it’s business or personal, the victim mindset can really be detrimental to your growth and prosperity. It can be easy to fall into the patterns of victimhood, but we need to push through and ask ourselves how we can get through this rather than why this is happening to us.

Did you know that when crabs outgrow their shell they have to be vulnerable without one while looking for one that fits? This is an amazing analogy for life! Is there an area of your life that you feel you have outgrown but you are afraid to change? This is so true for many of us, we find comfort in the discomfort we know and the unknown is frightening no matter how good the possibilities are. You can’t create that new version of yourself if you are attached to the old version. You were made for more, trust yourself and take the leap!

Welcome back, dear listeners! As we gear up for the exciting journey into 2024, today's episode is a thought-provoking exploration into the realms of sustainable success, financial perspectives, and the transformative power of adopting a new money mindset.
Remember those early days of learning math? Before diving into multiplication, we laid the groundwork with addition and subtraction. Just as in money matters, our approach needs a similar evolution. Let's challenge our conventional thinking by first embracing the concept of addition before the grand leap into multiplication. Rather than solely fixating on trimming expenses, let's redirect our focus towards amplifying our earning potential.

Today, we're delving into an often underestimated yet profoundly influential form of wealth: Relationship Capital.
In our pursuit of success, we often overlook the pivotal role people play. It's not just about networking; it's about fulfilling our lives, gaining knowledge, and reclaiming time by leveraging relationships. People are the fuel that fills our cups and enables us to navigate life more efficiently. Drawing parallels between the "hunter" and the "farmer," we examine two distinct mindsets towards relationships. While the hunter seeks instant gains, the farmer nurtures and cultivates connections over time. Discover how adopting the farmer's approach can yield exponential benefits in the long run.
It's not merely about taking; it's about giving back and adding value. By entering rooms and communities with a mindset geared towards giving, we paradoxically gain immeasurably more.
Tune in, and let's explore how you can harness the immense potential of Relationship Capital in your life!
Remember, it's not just about who you know, but the depth and authenticity of those connections that truly define the strength of your relational capital.

Today, let's dive into the magical art of romanticizing our lives, embracing every little detail as if it were a masterpiece. Picture this: waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee or tea, a ritual that goes beyond the caffeine fix. It's about the cup you choose, the delightful flavors that dance on your palate, and the serene spectacle of the sun rising to greet you as you savor these moments in a cozy chair.
But it doesn't stop there. It's about noticing and relishing the seemingly mundane tasks – from cooking to cleaning – transforming them into joyful experiences that paint the canvas of our daily lives. These ordinary routines often form the tapestry of our existence, so why not infuse them with delight and make ourselves feel amazing while doing them?
Imagine creating homes that aren't just spaces but sanctuaries, designed to nurture and uplift our spirits, providing solace for both ourselves and our loved ones. And let's not forget fashion! Crafting wardrobes that become our personal style sanctuaries, elevating confidence and cuteness levels simultaneously.
It's the little things, those tiny fragments of life that often slip by unnoticed, that hold the power to magnify our joy. These are the secret ingredients that turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, infusing our lives with happiness and boosting our self-assurance. So, let's not overlook them!
Join me as we explore the transformative magic hidden within these everyday moments, uncovering the immense potential they hold to make our lives not just enjoyable but extraordinary

Welcome to today's show, where we're diving deep into a transformative topic: the "Wilderness Season." Picture this: it's that challenging time in your life when you feel like you're wandering, lost, or struggling. But here's the exciting twist - this season often occurs just before you experience massive breakthroughs in your life.
Think of it as your strength-building boot camp for the future. It's during these tough times that we learn to embrace adversity, and it's crucial to remember that these seasons are preparing us for the greatness that lies ahead.
This is the season where you get to truly discover who you are. Do you show up as the person you've always claimed to be, or do you surrender to the challenges? It's a test of your character and resilience.
So, here's the secret sauce: Keep your eyes on the horizon and keep putting in the work, because the sweetest fruits of success are waiting for you on the other side of this struggle. Raise your glass to the Wilderness Season - it's the wild adventure that shapes us into who we're destined to become!

Today I am sharing 5 powerful pathways to connect more with the spiritual realm and have a deeper connection with God. God WANTS to help you, he wants to serve you, but he cannot do so if you don’t ask. To connect with God, we must serve ourselves by eliminating things that do not serve us, spend time each day to intentionally connect with God through prayer, meditation, or visualization, connecting with God out of a want to do so rather than a need, checking in with your relationships, and creating a sacred space within your home for connecting with God. These small changes can make a huge difference in your connection with God, so try them out, see if any of them work for you and strengthen your relationship with God!
Let me know if you liked this episode or not so I can know whether I should create more content of this type, and if you need some advice or have any questions, I love to help people find connection with God. So reach out to me on Instagram, the link is below!

Embarking on a fresh chapter in life is an exhilarating journey, and today, we're diving deep into the transformative magic of stepping UP and forward. As the tapestry of life unfolds, we often find that with new horizons come new challenges.

Imagine updating your wardrobe or giving your hair a fresh new hue; sometimes, our outward appearance shifts to reflect our inner growth. And to anchor this evolution, having a guiding word can be illuminating. This word is like a north star, leading the way, reminding us of our purpose as we navigate the uncharted waters of our next phase.
Pause for a moment today. Close your eyes and meditate. What is your word for this season? What profound meaning does it hold for you, and how can it shape your journey ahead?

Today, I have the delight of engaging in enlightening conversation with the vibrant Robin Long. Robin is not just a dear friend, but also an accomplished entrepreneur and the illustrious founder and CEO of Lindywell. She is a beacon in the health and wellness sector, extending the reach of Pilates and holistic well-being to broader horizons.
In our enlightening conversation, Robin unfolds her inspiring journey, a journey wrapped in discoveries of true health and wellness. She reflects on the common perceptions of health among women, which, more often than not, tend to fixate solely on weight loss rather than embracing a wholesome perspective of well-being.
Robin presents her insights on body positivity with vivacity and profound wisdom. She explores the essence of feeling good in one’s skin and illuminates the myriad challenges associated with nurturing children to develop a positive body image in a world saturated with contrasting ideals.
In addition, Robin discusses nurturing our nervous system—a fundamental yet often overlooked aspect of our well-being. She touches on holistic approaches to health, focusing on synchronizing both body and mind, and emphasizes the importance of internal equilibrium.
Excitingly, Robin will also be shedding light on her new book, 'Well to the Core,' a treasure trove of knowledge set to be unveiled tomorrow, October 3rd. For those whose curiosity is piqued and are eager to plunge into her sea of knowledge, you can find her book through the link provided below.
If you enjoyed and want to hear more from Robin, you can go to Lindywell.com or go find her Instagram here.
I invite you all to join us in this exploration of holistic wellness, and uncover the treasures of well-being with Robin Long, as we delve deep into topics that affect us all, seeking insights and enlightenment in our journey towards a healthier, more balanced life.

When women invest, they do great things! In the not so distant past women here in the United States couldn’t take out a business loan or have a business account without a man signing on it. While we’re obviously big fans of men and women building empires together, it is so important that women have a financial education. Money is simply a tool that can create more options for you, when you know how to make it work for you! In this episode, we touch on one financial archetype, The Damsel in Distress, and things you can do to change your money mindset. What if you don’t currently have the knowledge and people in your corner to be empowered to invest and grow your wealth? It’s not your fault that you’ve been fed lies and bad information about money. However it is your fault if you continue to stay in that mindset! It’s time to embrace a wealthy mindset, learn, and be an active participant in your finances and wealth building!

Welcome to a transformative discussion on the profound interplay between the immutable core values we hold dear and the ever-evolving life goals we set for ourselves. Understand this: while the destinations we aspire to might shift with time's tide, the compass that is our core values remains unaltered.
Today, we dive deep into:
- The essence of core values and how these foundational beliefs guide our every action and decision. They are the bedrock upon which our character stands, unwavering even amidst life's fiercest storms.
- The dynamism of goals, and the need to embrace change. Life's journey, with its myriad twists and turns, often prompts us to reassess and realign our aspirations. And that's not just okay—it's growth.
Yet, how do we strike a balance? How can we ensure that while our goals remain adaptive, our core values stay firm? The answer lies in precision. It's essential to keenly understand and define our values, ensuring that even as the winds of circumstance change, our foundational beliefs remain our guiding light.
So here's a challenge for all our listeners: embark on an introspective voyage. Define your core values with unwavering clarity and align your goals around this solid foundation. By doing so, you prepare yourself to face life's dilemmas with a fortified heart and mind.
On a special note, for those seeking to delve even deeper and align their aspirations with their partner, Mike and I present a unique opportunity. Join us for a couples workshop centered on values, goals, and the beautiful dance between the two.

Today, we dive deep into the power of choice and change. How can you alter the trajectory of your life within a year? We uncover the secrets of our actions and their long-term impact.
Understand that the life you're living today is a tapestry woven from the threads of decisions and actions you've taken in the past. While factors like upbringing and schooling play a role, the reins of change are in your hands.
Imagine a day in your life a year from now. Who are you? What have you achieved? Now, let's reverse engineer that dream. What habits, mindset shifts, and choices will transport you there?
Transformation is neither quick nor easy. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Anticipate challenges, but remember: every setback is a setup for a stronger comeback. The path may be rugged at first, but with each step, it becomes more defined and easier to tread.
It's natural for fear and doubt to creep in as you embark on this transformative journey. We'll delve into actionable techniques and strategies to tune into your body, ease tension, and navigate through fear.
Pause and reflect. Who is the 'future you' that you aspire to be? Jot down practical daily changes, however small, to inch closer to that vision. Remember, it's the tiny ripples that create mighty waves.
Join us on this introspective voyage, and let's embark on the mission of building a brighter, better tomorrow, starting today!
Thanks for listening!

Welcome to an exhilarating conversation that takes you on a journey from perceived impossibilities to untapped potentialities. Today, we delve into the profound insights I gathered from a recent transformative event that explored the miraculous shift from "Impossible to Possible." Remember, with divine guidance, we are equipped to achieve feats beyond our imagination. Are we truly invoking our higher power to bring forth the best in our lives?
Often, we allow fear and burnout to eclipse our vision, tempting us to abandon our ambitions. Yet, it is during these testing times, we need to question: Are we surrendering to our anxieties, or are we seeking divine intervention to manifest the greatest possible outcomes?
Dreams are delicate entities. Where doubt can annihilate them, hope becomes their lifeline. It's crucial to place unwavering faith in the divine plan. Each seeming setback or rejection is, in reality, a divine redirection, steering you towards your true destiny. Isn't it about time we embraced this perspective?
Today, let's undertake a soul-searching journey. Let's identify the areas of our lives where we've given our second thoughts more weight than our divine guidance. Are you falling prey to your limiting beliefs, or are you open to the abundance of possibilities life presents?
You are more than your current beliefs and limitations. Break through these confines and expand your horizons. Don't let these self-imposed boundaries restrict your potential or your identity. With God as our guide, there's an infinite universe of possibilities waiting to be explored. So join us today in this introspective journey, as we strive to transcend our doubts and fears, and reach for the stars.
Thanks for listening!

Show Notes:
Your relationship with your spouse is your most important relationship! We all put so much emphasis on date night, right? And that is so important for our relationships, but how often do we discuss our goals? Carving out time to specifically discuss your goals with your spouse and letting them know how they can support you is so important. Open communication and being consistent will help you both achieve your goals. Oftentimes there is a fear around checking those goals throughout the year because we may have been overzealous when we created them. It is great to have accountability with your goals but give yourself grace. It is ok to amend them throughout the year! Plan a specific time each month for a goal review session instead of discussing it during date night. Date night is for connecting and strengthening your relationship. Your alignment with your spouse can spread happiness and contribute to the success of all those around you.
02:20 Revisit your goals throughout the year.
05:00 Do you have a goals check in session with your spouse?
07:00 It is ok to change your goals.
11:30 Are we asking for the support we need?
14:40 Let date night be a time for connection!
18:20 Don’t take your relationship for granted.
22:00 Why is community so important for a couple?
26:00 Quality is just as important as quantity.
28:40 You have the time, but do you have the energy?
29:50 Create structure around planning date nights and check-ins.

There is a long standing joke that women’s husbands are also their oldest children. As funny as this is to some it may be a contributing factor to your husband's growth and vision being stunted. Our husband’s already have a mother and they don’t need another. Nagging is the first on the list of things we need to stop in order for our husband’s to regain their power in guiding the family. Use the gifts God gave you for the advantage of you and your spouse. Be your husband's place of refuge. Instead of telling him he was wrong or tearing him down because of his faults, help build him back up. Tune into your innate wisdom and use it for good.

Show Notes:
Are you giving 100% to the life you want to create? Being consistent may be boring and it is so easy to look at someone else and think that you need to switch gears and do what they are doing. But is the grass greener on the other side? Sometimes you do have to pivot and change your plan but not often. What many people are missing in life is consistency. Success is not born over night and we need to put our heads down, and do the work every day. Find one thing that adds value to the world and create something amazing for that need. Create roots in that and don’t jump from idea to idea. Give it time to blossom and do the work that is required. Your life is built by your day to day habits. You have the power to change it when you see fit.
02:05 Is the grass greener on the other side?
04:20 Stay committed to what you're building.
07:00 Where do you add value to the world?
09:00 The day to day is where excellence grows.
11:00 Focus on that strong foundation!

In this episode, I’m sharing some lessons I learned from a recent trip that have me thinking on a whole new level. Mike and I committed to this trip a year ago, and as it was time to get ready for it I began to see multiple reasons why it would make sense to stay home and focus on our businesses.

Show Notes:
Hurt people hurt people! Is there someone who you are having a hard time forgiving? People make mistakes and no one is perfect. It is so important, for your healing, to have compassion and forgive others that have done you wrong. This does not mean reconciling but it means allowing your heart and body to release that pain. Healing takes time and some may find it helpful to seek therapy. This is great if you need help talking through and dissecting your feelings. When we are trying to uplevel ourselves this is when our past traumas can surface. Be aware of your body and your feelings so that you can address these as soon as possible. That way you can continue taking your life to that next level and treat people with kindness.
02:00 Forgive those who have hurt you.
05:35 How did I repair my relationship with God?

Together they own a wildly successful real estate private equity firm that went from $3 million to $300 million in 3 years AND they raise their 4 young children! How do they do it all? Nick and Elaine prefer to think of it as work/life integration instead of balance. They make it a priority to communicate and make sure they are aligned. This is one of many systems they use to achieve their success and happiness. They also make sure to have faith in one another and give each other the benefit of the doubt when they may disagree with how the other executed a task/decision. This doesn’t mean to ignore what you disagree on. In fact, they recommend keeping a list of areas you disagree on so that you can have a weekly meeting with your partner to discuss these decisions/areas. They also run their home like a business and outsource as much as possible so that at the end of the day they still have that time together and with their children. If integration is a struggle for you, take a listen to this fantastic couple and all of their great advice!

Have you taken the time to set goals for the new year, and look at your calendar for this upcoming year? In this episode I’m sharing how my husband Mike and I set goals for this year, the pillars we focus our goals around, and sharing an area of my life where I’ve gotten soft. Big goals can be easy to set. The ones that are further off in the distance that you likely don’t feel urgency to do anything about in this exact moment. That’s where so many people are missing the boat. Reaching your goals and creating the life you want has very little to do with the destination and everything to do with the daily action you take. Being in pursuit of an extraordinary life is going to come with resistance. It’s going to take consistent effort to create new habits. I’ve got good news and hard news. Both are that the journey is going to be hard, AND that resistance is what is going to expand your capacity IF you keep moving forward! I know you have what it takes!
01:00 What goal setting looks like for Mike and I as we start the new year!
03:50 Are you reserving time on your calendar for the most important things?
08:40 The pillars we focus on to set goals for the year!

15:15 Lessons from doing hard workouts.
17:00 We don’t get stronger without resistance!
19:15 How are you deciding to show up in your life?
We’re bringing it back! You may have heard this episode mid last year, in 2022, and I’m excited to share it with you again!

Show Notes:
The lowest standard you hold is what you will fall to in hard times! The great thing about life is that YOU get to define who you are. YOU get to decide what your standards are and who you are going to show up as. Being able to hold off on instant gratification is going to take you where you ultimately want to go. When you create a standard for yourself it is very rare that you will fall below that standard. Getting to those higher standards that you desire is going to take you leaving your comfort zone. Putting yourself in situations where you get a taste of what those new standards feel like. This can look like booking a first class ticket, eating a higher quality of food, or starting a fitness regimen that you have never done before. If you want to raise your standards you will also need to evaluate who you surround yourself with and what habits you need to adopt to get to that next level. YOU are in control and absolutely capable of achieving those standards!
02:00 What are the standards you have in your life?

What is a community? A community is a group of people who share common interests and goals and take fellowship in that. Finding community is so important to your success. You want to put yourself in rooms and at tables with people who have been where you want to go. You can find community in gyms, churches, book clubs and masterminds. This is the best way to level up your success and your life. Communities are also great for helping you get through big transitions in life! They can help put things into perspective and give you support during the tougher times. It is also imperative that you are intentional about who you surround yourself with. We often become like those we surround ourselves with so we need to make sure we are intentional in who we choose. What does the next version of you need?

Is our economy in the middle of a downturn? If so, how can we prepare? In this episode I have the pleasure of talking with real estate investor Anna Kelley and she helps answer these and other questions. The economy is cyclical and we need to make sure we are in the right mindset when it gets near the bottom of a cycle.

Prioritize what matters most in your life! Do you have big, audacious dreams and goals in life? Are you stuck in tending to a never ending to-do list and working toward rest? What if I told you that you’re doing it backwards. What would it look like in your life if you worked from a place of rest instead of rest being the end goal? Making sure to block out time for white noise or alone time to ensure your cup is filled up first in order to help others fill theirs. The people who make the biggest strides in life are those who work from rest and make time to fill their cup or “sharpen their axe”. Find the 1-3 things in your life that you need to be doing that would make other tasks lighter or unecessary. This allows for more time to focus on what you need. Did you know that most successful people spend more time on their own growth and development than their actual tasks? This is because when you are taken care of you are more capable of being creative, problem solving and moving the needle in your success. This may look different based on your current season of life that you are in. So take the time to figure out what season that is and what the future looks like for you.
4:00 Do you get energy from large group interactions or alone time?
5:30 Don’t forget to fill your cup first!
7:40 Remember what a privilege it is to serve those around us.
9:40 What does it mean to sharpen your axe?
10:50 How to identify your non-negotiables based on the season you are in.
12:15 Are you prioritizing what matters most in your life?
How to limit the stress during the holiday season.

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if you worked from a place of rest instead of rest being the end goal?

What are you holding onto that needs to burn? I recently went on a trip to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and on that trip I ended up learning some things in Yellowstone about fires that are SO applicable to life! When we think about forest fires we often think about the devastation on the surface. Learning more about how fires benefit the soil and support of NEW life has so many parallels to things we hold on to that are holding us back from something better!

Are YOU the one holding yourself back from becoming your Higher Self? From living the life that is calling you!? In this episode, I talk all about breaking through that upper limit with Carmen Ohling! Carmen is a former corporate executive turned holistic life coach, public speaker and podcast host. She was diagnosed with MS at age 25. You would think this would slow her down but it didn’t. A year after diagnosis Carmen realized she was no longer fulfilled with her career. She discovered holistic nutrition that helped her MS and decided to become a holistic life coach and help others. Carmen helps people slow down and really discover what they want in life and how to go about getting it. This includes tips on incorporating days of dreaming, planning and self assessment to make sure your life is going in the direction that makes you happy. She also talks about planning your day around the energy you have to give rather than the hours in the day. We talk about giving yourself permission to grow and change. Just because you pursued one path or career in life doesn’t mean that you can’t pursue something different down the road. Carmen also gives us some amazing tips and tricks on breaking through those higher limits in order to reach our biggest dreams and potentials.

Did you know that your mindset is formed between the ages of 0 and 7? Most people go their entire life with the mindset they formed as a child and never change it. Have you ever thought about what personality traits or labels people have given you over the years? A lot of times we take that as fact and think of it as something that can’t be changed. Well, that is my challenge for you today! What labels have people given you that are no longer serving you? How can you actively fight and change them? One thing that helps is putting yourself in rooms and around people who challenge you. Find out what YOU truly believe! This episode is going to challenge you and help you get back to that abundance mindset.

God has you. He thinks bigger than our earthly minds can comprehend. In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts around navigating one of the most difficult seasons and how (especially in hindsight) I can see how God has led me to the right places and people to help me through it. I touch on a few topics around mindset, from getting gritty in your business to build momentum to how you can think bigger if you listen to the messages God has for you. Another common theme you’ll hear in this episode is the power of having the right people in your life and focusing on relationships before everything else.

Show Notes:
Have you ever wondered when your money mindset is created? Morgan Housel helps us understand that it usually begins in childhood and is learned from watching our parents and their relationship with money. Many of our views on life are also influenced at a young age and can be difficult to change. This happens because we get stuck in echo chambers that make it hard to see the other side's view on money and the world in general. Morgan shares some incredibly insightful thoughts on how the echo chambers we get stuck in affect the way we view local and global events. He shares a great example about the last presidential election and how the people he was surrounded by had such an impact on his impression of who he thought would fill that position. Considering money mindsets start forming at such a young age, how can we start our children off on the right path? Morgan, Mike and I discuss our experiences with how we approach money mindsets while parenting. Morgan also touches on the 2 phases of parenting and why making sure you make the leap to phase 2 is so important. We also cover this trending thought of debt being the new asset and is this a smart way to handle debt? Join us today if you're ready to take your money mindset to the next level and step outside your cognitive comfort zone!

What are you chasing? It can be all too easy to get caught up with keeping up with the Jones’ or chasing “shiny” things like status and money. I’ve spent the last few weeks reflecting on what really matters most. Of course, we’ve put in the time and work into creating passive income streams. Money is a big part of what we talk about here on the podcast, but what is the end goal? What are you really chasing? In this episode, I share ways to make sure what you are building is in alignment with what your priorities are. Not just chasing the next dollar, but creating the financial freedom to spend your time doing what matters most. As you listen to the thought provoking questions I ask in this episode, note which one stands out most to you.
01:15 The strength, support, and reflection that comes in times of hardship.
02:40 What if you stopped chasing after status and money?
04:00 Is what you are building (and chasing) in alignment with your priorities?
05:00 Are you trading time for money?
07:15 What changes are you going to make moving forward to make money work for you?
I’ve noticed some patterns when it comes to women’s money mindset in particular, which led to the creation of these 5 Financial Archetypes. We’re revisiting them again in this episode, and I’m curious….which one are you? If you’ve heard me talk about the Financial Archetypes before, is yours the same? Or has it changed?

When women invest, they do great things! In the not so distant past women here in the United States couldn’t take out a business loan or have a business account without a man signing on it.

Money is simply a tool that can create more options for you, when you know how to make it work for you! In this episode, we touch on one financial archetype, The Damsel in Distress, and things you can do to change your money mindset. What if you don’t currently have the knowledge and people in your corner to be empowered to invest and grow your wealth? It’s not your fault that you’ve been fed lies and bad information about money. However it is your fault if you continue to stay in that mindset! It’s time to embrace a wealthy mindset, learn, and be an active participant in your finances and wealth building!

If you were to do the same thing tomorrow, and every day for the next month, would you be in alignment with your why? Would you be closer to living the life you want to create, or further from it? So much of what we talk about here on Marriage, Money, and Mayhem comes down to the seemingly small daily actions that move the needle in one direction or another. It’s great to have a vision of what you are working towards, and your “Why” is just as important. It’s the reason the vision you have created means something to you. Tune in as Kara shares a personal story of when it became clear whether or not her families choices were in alignment with her why, and how we can check in with ourselves each day to make sure we are leading with our own personal “why” too!

We also hear from Kara about how she has taught her own kids to think critically, and how their conversations encourage asking questions! This is a great episode to grab a pen and paper, to journal what comes to mind for a few minutes after you listen. Take the questions in this episode, and dive in a little deeper with your beliefs.

He’s the founder of ThoughtpreneurTM Academy & Business Breakthrough Academy where he helps entrepreneurs bring their businesses to the world and build the lifestyle that they want.
After finding a cancerous tumor in his bladder larger than a baseball in June 2019 and successfully conquering it within 18 months, Mel began to openly teach his The Affluence BlueprintTM because his cancer journey spotlighted the immediate and urgent need for entrepreneurs to find “financial liberation” and peace of mind. This is the very process and system he’s used to build his business and more importantly his wealth through business that allowed him to completely shut things down to focus on what’s important. Most entrepreneurs are building a financial house of cards and don’t even realize it…and traditional financial advice will not work for them.
As a frequent guest on some of the top shows and podcasts and through his popular programs, blog and show he shares his thought leadership around financial liberation, affluence, building businesses of impact, and freedom. He’s been called an Affluence Mentor™ and the “thought leader to thought leaders” and advised some of the top thought leaders of our time in their business, money matters, content creation, positioning and market influence.
Mel is a committed advocate for the entrepreneurial way and provides real education to real entrepreneurs for creating a real life! After all, we are placed here to create a legacy beyond acquiring, achieving and accomplishing but by connecting at a meaningful level and impacting lives through our businesses, services and ideals each and every day.
Mel has built, bought and sold numerous multimillion-dollar businesses for himself as well as his clients. He’s a globally recognized thought leader, business advisor, CPA and financial expert sharing stages with a long list of Fortune 500 Companies as well as beacons in the business and personal development industry, from Arianna Huffington and Chalene Johnson to Brendon Burchard and Tony Robbins.
Mel is a Certified Public Accountant with over three decades of experience as a financial expert, valuation expert and business and success strategist. Mel is regularly sought after for consulting and valuation engagements around the country such as family limited partnerships, co-tenant interest valuations, operating businesses as well as various entities. These projects have ranged from small family owned businesses to large $1.7 billion companies.
When not speaking, training, mentoring or just being a little nutty you can find him working out or training in the martial arts. If not, he'll be creating experiences and memories with his beautiful wife, Stefanie by traveling to exotic places or hanging at the beach where they live.

About Joy:
Hey, I’m Joy Harrington - a wife and mom of two kiddos, a stay-at-home mom turned Master Coach for women stepping into their feminine energy.
After generating over $1,000,000 in sales primarily on IG over 4 years and hitting burnout, I began a journey that led to discovering coaching and a secret superpower: feminine energy.
Watching my marriage, business and life transform while cultivating this superpower made me realize more women need this! Now, I get to mentor women who are ready to start thriving in their life instead of surviving it.
Because when life gets hard we always have a choice: we can keep hustling for our worth OR we can lean into our intuition and level up.
I founded and host the Level Up Babe podcast - a show dedicated to helping others use their rock bottom as their catalyst for growth while leveling up their relationships, business, and mindset.
Going through my own rock bottom of betrayal and addiction in my marriage caused me to grow and dig into things that ended up becoming the biggest blessing for me.
Now, I want to help you do the same!

About Cayla:
When I was saving lives as an ER nurse back in 2011, I had this gut feeling that I was meant for so much more. I didn’t want to choose between having a happy family and having a successful business. So I embarked on a journey to have it all.
Nine years later, I figured out a way to bring harmony into my family’s life while helping thousands of women pursue their passions through Mommy Millionaire.
My three beautiful kids and supportive husband have all seen a dramatic positive change in our family’s energy throughout this process. We’re all thankful that I took the leap and chased my dreams relentlessly though it was certainly tough at the beginning.
Now, I want to share my expertise and life lessons with YOU so that you can have it all too.
From my popular Mommy Millionaire podcast, live events, courses, and more, I’ve created tools for every woman to start and grow their own business. Follow along and I’ll give you the confidence to succeed and the plan to get you where you want to go.
My ultimate goal is to help one million moms become millionaires using the same principles I use. I don’t want to just inspire you. I want to give you concrete tips and tactics that you can be successful with today.
