    How Entrepreneurs Can Become Work Optional with Phil & Trish Calandra

    2026/08/26 | 54 mins.
    Are you growing your business and making more money, but still wondering if you’re building the wealth and freedom you want? In this episode, Chris and I sit down with Phil and Trish Calandra, CEO and Co-Founder of TruWealth Advisors, to talk about the difference between generating revenue and building long-term wealth. They break down the “revenue trap,” why having multiple financial experts doesn’t always mean you have a unified strategy, and how entrepreneurs can create a clearer path toward their personal wealth freedom number. We also talk about the money stories that can shape your financial decisions, why women entrepreneurs can put their own wealth goals last, and what it means to become work optional. Tune in to learn how you can make your business work toward the freedom you want.

    How to Find Your Confidence Again When Everything Feels Uncertain

    2026/08/20 | 16 mins.
    Have you ever been trying so hard to make something happen that you end up feeling even more disconnected from it? In this episode, I share what I’ve been learning about manifestation, confidence, and getting back to a place of neutrality after a really challenging season in business. I talk about why forcing yourself to feel abundant can sometimes create more pressure, the questions that helped me take personal responsibility for what wasn’t working, and how getting neutral can help you reconnect with what’s already available to you. Get ready to release the pressure, trust yourself again, and start creating from a more aligned place.
