Rich Life Plan: Money, Investing, Entrepreneurship & Mindset for Women

If you're ready to take your side hustle full-time but don’t know where to start, this inspirational episode will show you what’s possible in business. 
Michelle Thames went from a corporate healthcare job to building a six-figure boutique marketing agency without a degree in business, a giant following, or without trying to be everywhere online. In this conversation, we break down her mindset and how she made the leap from burned out employee to booked-out entrepreneur by focusing on what actually moves the needle: real relationships, a clear niche, and an intentional digital ecosystem.
You'll learn how she built her digital agency business from scratch, helped major brands grow on social, and what it really takes to get seen and get paid as an entrepreneur. We dive into how to build an organic content strategy, how to turn your ideas into a side hustle without burning out, and why showing up with intention beats being everywhere online in business. 
If you’re a purpose-driven entrepreneur trying to get seen, get paid, and grow with confidence.....press play!

You work hard in your career, you show up, and you’ve earned more but saying it out loud? That’s the scary part!
In this episode of Rich Life Plan podcast, we break down how to ask for a raise (or anything important in life) without the panic, awkwardness, or “I’ll just wait and hope” mindset because hope is not a strategy and when it comes to your career, you always need a plan and the mindset to match.
Inspired by negotiation expert and former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss, we walk through simple, powerful strategies that help you speak up with clarity and confidence no matter how nervous you feel.
You’ll learn:
Why most people ask the wrong way (and how to do it better)
How to shift from “please pick me” energy to calm, professional confidence
What to say when the answer is “not right now”  without shutting down
And how to make the conversation about value, not just money
This isn’t about being pushy!  It’s about being prepared!  So if you’ve been holding back, waiting for someone to notice your work, this episode is your sign to stop waiting.
Let’s get you ready to ask like a boss and get what you deserve!

Whether it's relative to your money story or life in general, everyone’s always talking about how to be happy but no one talks about what is actually making you miserable.
In this episode, we have flipped the script and are talking about the top three mistakes that quietly pull you off track and off your Rich Life Plan.  The ones that drain your energy, steal your peace, and keep you stuck in a life that doesn’t feel as good as it should even when life looks “fine” on the outside.
Backed by decades of research, including the largest and longest study ever done on happiness (think Harvard), this episode is your reminder and wake up call. It is full of real talk and practical tools to help you take your power back. You’ll learn how to hit reverse in a way that actually feels doable. 
Learn how to stop quietly ruining your life because if the little things are what tore you down, the little things can rebuild it too one step at a time.

Lindsay Scherr Burgess wasn’t trying to start a business. She wasn’t plotting a brand strategy or chasing investors. She just saw a moss wall on Pinterest, thought: “I could probably make that,” and followed a little spark.  That spark turned into a company that now creates living art for clients like Amazon, Hilton, and Starbucks.
In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to grow something from scratch when you have no business plan, no outside funding, and no clue where it’ll lead. We break down the quiet reality of building momentum with $2 ads and blurry photos, the moment you realize strangers are paying attention and the messy middle between side hustle and real business.  You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of what it takes to start before you’re ready, how to test an idea without going all in, and why the slow seasons often become the turning points.
If you’ve ever questioned whether your idea is “real enough” to run with or whether you’re too late, too small, or too behind...this conversation will flip that story on its head.
Sometimes the life-changing idea doesn’t show up in a brainstorm. It shows up when you’re just willing to try.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to market your business, like you’re doing everything right but still not seeing results, this episode is the reset you didn’t know you needed.
In this episode, we’re breaking the glass on what actually grows a business. Whether you’re building something from scratch or pivoting in the age of AI, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed until now.
Kristin Zhivago, the original “revenue coach,” has spent over 40 years helping Fortune 500s and scrappy startups alike learn how to listen smarter, sell better, and stop wasting time on tactics that don’t work. Her decades of in-the-trenches experience give her a rare edge: she doesn’t just teach theory; she’s lived it.
You'll walk away with a new lens on marketing and a reminder that big pivots don’t require perfection.  Just courage.

There are two main ways people invest in the stock market. One is slow and steady. The other is fast and follows trends. Both have made people a lot of money but they’re very different.
In this episode, we break down value investing and momentum investing in a way that actually makes sense. You’ll learn what each one means, how people use them, and why picking the one that fits you is the smartest move of all.
You don’t need to be an expert or time the market. You just need a simple plan you can stick with especially when things get volatile and  investing gets emotionally tough.
If stocks have ever felt confusing or like you’re just guessing, this episode will give you the clarity you need and the plan to stay steady when the market gets messy.
