    6.14 | Starving the Machine, Matriarchally

    2026/08/12 | 36 mins.
    And the question of how to withdraw from the machine, strategically, structurally, collectively, is one of the most practically urgent questions available right now, perfect for today's eclipse.
    In today's episode, I show you exactly how to: 
    -withdraw your life force from the machine, 
    -make the machine lose its leverage (based on its four favorite weapons)
    -build the alternative infrastructure based on the four forms of capital.
    In just under 30 minutes, you'll receive the map to withdraw from the narcissistic machine in the very same way you withdraw supply from a narcissistic partner.
    It's the collective, feral GTFO plan.

    6.13 | The Signs of Hidden Financial Abuse

    2026/07/29 | 36 mins.
    This is the first time I tell the full story of my experience with financial abuse.
    Because 1 in 6 women experience it, and most think it'll NEVER happen to them.
    Because I, a psychologist, was one of the 3 in 5 women who don't see it until AFTER they leave the relationship.
    Because I've sat down with dozens of women who are experiencing the same things I did and they're NOT calling it financial abuse. 
    They're calling it:
    "The economy's bad and he hasn't been able to find work."
    "He's depressed and has a learning disorder that's made it hard for him to keep a job."
    "We haven't been able to get out of debt despite me making good money."
    "We constantly fight about money."
    "He refuses to sit down with anyone other than his advisor."
    Meanwhile, women are burning out under carrying the load of what they can't name as abuse because it doesn't fit the textbook definition.
    In this episode, I share: 
    -the process of moving from "what am I doing wrong" to "there's definitely something wrong here" that enabled me to leave;
    -my recommended GTFO plan;
    -other women's stories of financial abuse that they graciously offered over IG (and gave consent to share for this episode).
    In 30 minutes, you'll recognize the subtle signs of financial control in your relationship dynamics, inoculate yourself against financial abuse, and maybe even help someone who's in that sitch right now.

    6.12 | Four Models of Matriarchal Wealth Redistribution

    2026/07/14 | 31 mins.
    I used to drool at the thought of becoming a professional philanthropist.
    I pictured myself donating my time, wads of money, energy funding women's businesses and ecological projects all around the world. 
    That image in my head felt like the peak experience, like if I could achieve that it would mean I'd arrived.
    But when I started studying matriarchal economics and specifically wealth distribution models, I had to rethink some things.
    Because philanthropy is the dominant model of redistribution inside the current economy and it is structurally designed to leave the power differential intact.
    In this podcast episode I dive into the four categories of redistribution that get collapsed under philanthropy, and each one's role in moving us from the control of the triangle (where power is concentrated at the top) to circle (where power is distributed through relationships).
    In just under 30 minutes, you'll understand how to balance your redistribution portfolio along with 4 steps to putting it in action in ways that distribute power.

    6.11 | 4 Practices That Break The Scarcity Cycle

    2026/06/29 | 31 mins.
    The energy that drives the matriarchal economy is GENEROSITY.
    Not performative, one-off donation kind of generosity that happens once a blue moon when the spirit moves you. 
    I'm talking about the structural, consistent, normalized assumptive generosity of a woman who moves money through community.
    And internalized scarcity is what stops generosity cold.
    It doesn't matter how aligned your values are. 
    It doesn't matter how much you believe in the matriarchal economy.
    If your internal ecosystem is running a scarcity program underneath all of that belief, you won't circulate consistently. 
    You will hoard in ways that feel like a responsible choice. 
    You will give sporadically, not necessarily from guilt but maybe sometimes, and then contract. 
    You will keep waiting for when you have more to begin giving consistently.
    Dissolving internalized scarcity is the real work at the foundation of a matriarchal economy.
    And in this episode, I share the 4 practices that've helped me break the cycle of scarcity in my lineage.
    Before there was a framework, these practices planted the seeds of everything I now teach about ecological wealth.

    6.10 | When Generational Wealth Comes With Generational Scarcity with Marina Pearson

    2026/06/15 | 56 mins.
    What would you do if you lost a parent and suddenly inherited a massive amount of money?
    What feelings might it bring up for you?
    Who do you talk about it with?
    OR: what if you were a recipient of the Great Wealth Transfer, where $34 trillion in investable assets are moving into women's hands by the end of this decade?
    Even though many people say they would love to be in that position, it does come with its unique challenges.
    Marina Pearson knows exactly what those challenges are. 
    Having walked the path of inheriting wealth herself over the past 15 years and having worked with women from all over the world, she deeply understands the often-unspoken emotional and identity challenges that can accompany it. 
    And this is something the wealth industry completely misses.
    Marina is the founder of Unshackled Wealth™, an investor, author, speaker, guide, and host of the She Who Inherits podcast. 
    Today, she helps female inheritors move from survival, uncertainty, into sovereignty, self-trust, and aligned wealth stewardship, so they can lead their wealth, and their lives with confidence and purpose.
    Once you listen to this conversation, you will leave with a deeper appreciation of how powerful inherited scarcity can be, and the specific factors required to shift into stewardship.
