100. The Wisdom Advantage: How to Build Wealth Intentionally
On this episode of the Wealth and Wisdom Together™ podcast, we are on week four of our series on your STEWARD Identity™. Today’s deep dive is on the meaning of the “W” in the STEWARD acronym, which stands for “Wisdom Led Decision Making”. But that is not all. This is our 100th episode, and we are celebrating! Have you heard these common myths about wisdom and financial stewardship? You need a lot of money to start building wealth. Investing is only for the wealthy. Financial success is all about luck. These do not define wisdom or its effects on our finances. The truth is that wisdom can guide us toward intentional wealth-building when we exercise the habits of our STEWARD Identity™. Today we are speaking to that truth and revealing strategies from the Word of God on wisdom-led decision making, which can debunk these myths.

99. Empower Your Financial Journey: Discover the Rewards of Earnestly Seeking God
On this episode of the Wealth and Wisdom Together™ podcast, we are on week three of our series on your STEWARD Identity™. Today, we are highlighting and expanding on the meaning of the “E” in the STEWARD acronym, which stands for “Earnestly Seeking God”. Can you say that you earnestly seek God in all your decisions? We can now, but that was not always the case. As we have shared before, some of our earlier decisions, financial and those that were not financial, were not always made with God in the forefront. Sometimes, our decisions were made just by thinking about ourselves and what we wanted. We discovered that this habit kept us struggling and trapped in a scarcity mindset. We felt like we were working hard but didn’t see the results we desired; it was disheartening. If you have ever felt that way, this conversation will enlighten you on the importance of earnestly seeking God's guidance in all you do. When we realized the importance of seeking God and aligning our faith with our finances, we experienced a shift in our mindset, our decision-making, and our lives. We saw God’s guidance provide a sense of peace, rest, and fulfillment in all areas of our lives. Now we want the same for you. It’s your time to recognize and eliminate the scarcity mindset that can rule our decision-making and replace it with a mindset established from earnestly seeking God in managing your resources.

72. Clarity Is In The Doing
Have you ever been on top of your game, getting it all done, but later realized something was amiss? Did you make adjustments and keep moving? That’s what we’ve done. We have pivoted in our work and are moving forward. We’ve spent several years preparing to be financial coaches empowering those we serve to enjoy life, manage their money and build a legacy. But as faith-based coaches, we have realized that many don’t connect good stewardship practices with their desire to live an abundant life. 2 Timothy 4:2 tells us to “Preach in the full expression of the Holy Spirit - with wisdom and patience as you instruct and teach the people.” And so we pivot in accordance to this passage to instruct and teach the Stewardship Message with wisdom and patience to the Body. This week on The Abundant Living Podcast , we share our journey to becoming the Financial Empowerment and Stewardship Coaches to the Black Church. Let’s Embrace Abundant Living: 3:00 - The Dream to serve the kingdom 7:00 - Empowering Ourselves To Serve 10:15 - Mindset Work To Eliminate Fear 12:30 - Wealth and Wisdom 13:40 - The Stewardship Message Top Takeaways “We have always had a greater call and can’t limit it to just our church.” - Weslia Echols “Teach others how to use the 90% after giving the 10%.” - Willa Williams “Getting the message out that you can live in the abundance of God.” - Willa Williams “...None of these programs addressed mindset and changing behaviors which were needed in the Black community.” - Weslia Echols “There is no struggle, but there is a mindset change.” - Willa Williams “Clarity is in the doing.” - Weslia Echols “Stewardship goes beyond the capital campaign and raising money for the building fund.” - Weslia Echols Let’s Connect Connect with Weslia Echols, AFC® and Willa Williams, AFC®, Trinity Financial Coaching On Social Join the Abundant Living Facebook Community!

70 REWIND: Create A Vision For Yourself
To create the vision of who we want to become, we must acknowledge that it requires some form of financial commitment. Rooted in first understanding who we are, how God created us, how he's gifted us, and what skill sets He's allowed us to acquire, as we develop the talent that he's provided us, we will then be able to enhance both our vision and our finances. This week on The Abundant Living Podcast , we discuss the power of creating a vision and the biblical truth intended to guide us as we pursue our God-given purpose.

How many opportunities have you talked yourself out of? What kind of things do you say to yourself?

54. How To Address Inner Conflict To Curate Peace
People often want to release chaotic situations but stay in them because they lack the peace or financial stability to make the move. When faced with conflict, they resolve the issue on the surface level, and they internally suffer and carry their trauma into other places and spaces in life. This week on The Abundant Living Podcast , we sat with Conflict Resolution Specialist and Peace Curator Patrice Grimes . As a follow-up to Episode 50: “Preparing for Peace: What Is Your Exit Strategy?, we reached out to Patrice utilize a holistic approach to serve as a place of refuge for performance-driven, "go-getter" women and reveals how we can identify HEALTHY conflict transformation strategies while embracing authenticity.

53. Eradicating The Stigma of Renting
Many people believe that progress and wealth are only shown by owning a home. Whether it be land, property, or even financial assets, there’s a stigma that ownership usually signifies whether someone has “made it” in life. We want to flip the script and change the narrative regarding owning vs. renting, and this week on The Abundant Living Podcast , we’re talking about eradicating the stigma of renting. Deciding to purchase a home should be very strategic and consider your lifestyle, financial health, and personal goals! Just because someone decides to rent doesn’t mean they're less capable of attracting or achieving wealth, wisdom, or abundance. Let’s Embrace Abundant Living: 2:45: The History Of Home Ownership 8:50: The Societal Stigma Around Renting 11:50: Avoid Becoming House Poor 14:20: The Difference Between Renting and Owning 18:30: Why Renting Is Beneficial 24:30: Eradicate The Stigma Of Renting Yourself Eradicating The Stigma of Renting Takeaways “Home ownership is a crucial element in wealth building.” - Willa Williams “The Wisdom of the Lord is what is needed to establish the foundation to support the lifestyle you desire.” - Willa Williams “Approximately 9 out of 10 Americans equate homeownership with personal success and economic security.” - Willa Williams “Don’t put yourself in a position where you’re house poor.” - Weslia Echols “The rental market really is changing right now.” - Willa Williams “Renting alleviates you from having to invest in the maintenance and upkeep of a home.” - Weslia Echols “You have the power to eradicate the stigma of renting yourself.” - Weslia Echols “If you’re investing as a renter, you may end up building wealth quicker, than you would possibly owning a home.” - Weslia Echols This episode is brought to you by Trinity Financial Coaching, where we aim to guide you through a financial transformation with grace and ease so that you can manage money confidently, live life purposefully, and build wealth intentionally!

52. 5-Minutes of Intentionality
Without confidence, it's hard to pick ourselves up and keep going. Whether we're trying to accomplish something new, trying to get ahead at work, or even when we're dealing with our finances, our confidence can take a hit at any time, anywhere. When we lack confidence, the only thing blocking us from success is Us. We have to believe that we can accomplish whatever we set our mind to, and we must be willing to boldly step out in faith and make it happen. So, the best way to restore a lack of confidence is to make it impossible to give up. This week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we’re tackling how you can intentionally set up your life to strengthen your faith and boost your confidence.

51. Fighting the Internal Resistance to Change
What do you do when your financial success doesn’t mirror your career success? Do you change your situation, or do you remain complacent?

This week on The Abundant Living Podcast , we’re discussing how to push past resistance to receive our desired results. Although fighting the internal resistance to change can be both terrifying and paralyzing, once we identify the core reason behind it, we’ll be able to face it, fight through it, and take the first step toward wealth, wisdom, and financial success.

Are you financially prepared to be released? With the drop of The Renaissance Album - ACT 1, Beyonce permits us to release.

She’s encouraging us to leave situations that don't serve us if we’re looking for motivation or a new foundation. Still, to truly take off the load and stop allowing others to break our souls, some situations require us to reach a level of financial stability or preparedness first.

49. S.E.L.F - Saving Elevates Life Fulfillment
When we released the episode on Financial crossroads in our 30s, it reminded us of some of the challenges we faced that required us to change our mindset regarding savings. We knew it was important to have a savings account and money in the bank. However, we also knew people who needed our assistance financially. Unintentionally, our heart to give led us to become budding philanthropists, seeding and supporting those around us. But what do you do when giving mindlessly starts to affect your financial growth? This week on The Abundant Living Podcast, we’re unpacking how it feels when you cultivate an environment where people depend on you financially. We’re also discussing how to protect yourself and your savings to elevate your life's fulfillment.

48. Keeping The Momentum: Stay On Course To Reach Your Financial Goals
Do you remember when Physics class was required in school, and the instructor would talk about momentum? We do! While we initially thought we would never use Physics in life, that lesson on momentum was instrumental in achieving the transformation we desired in life. We now realize that as you move toward your goals, the momentum pushes you to reach them. This week on The Abundant Living Podcast , we’re talking about how to keep the momentum and stay on course to reach your financial goals. There is a direct correlation between momentum and success.

Did you know that today’s millennials (those currently in their late 20s and early 30’s) are the only generation who have experienced a pandemic, two recessions, and possibly World War III in their lifetime? Even while facing wartime and inflation, we believe it’s essential for everyone, especially millennials, to seek wisdom and understanding while enjoying a fulfilled life and preparing for the future.

46. What Is Financial Coaching?
Are you unhappy with your finances or desire to change your financial situation? Do you believe you could be doing better financially but don’t know where to start? While most people seek financial coaching looking for someone to tell them what to do, for many, the problem isn’t knowing what to do, the problem is implementation. You are more than capable of building wealth on your own, but your financial coach will hold you accountable as you implement your individual financial plan. As you seek financial services, it’s important to clearly understand the duties and responsibilities of the many professions that make up financial care. From vision through implementation to completion of your goals, this week we’re breaking down what Financial coaching is and isn’t so that you’re equipped with the tools you need to manage your money confidently, live life purposefully, and build wealth intentionally.

45. Abundant Living: Embracing New Opportunities
How often do you look at something and immediately dismiss it? As Wealth Partners, when we use phrases like, “That's not me” or “I don’t do that,” we limit our thinking and prevent ourselves from embracing new opportunities. Whether we unintentionally pass up great love, a fulfilling career, and even monetary blessings, limiting beliefs have the power to derail us from our living in abundance. This week on The Abundant Living Podcast , we are unpacking what it truly means to live abundantly. We all have opportunities all around us and just because something may not be in alignment with who we were, doesn’t mean it won't help us evolve into who we want to become. Even if it may not look the way you imagined, don't turn away from the blessings God has put in place. Renew your mind to be able to see God’s hand in everything, and remember that God’s Will, not our will, is the only path to an abundant life. Let’s Embrace Abundant Living: 2:45 - Embrace New Opportunities 8:00 - Broaden Your Thinking 13:00 - Be Intentional About Accepting Yourself 19:00 - Express Your Inner Brightness 22:13 - Let Go Of Limiting Thinking 27:10 - Don’t Tell Me, Show Me Abundant Living: Embracing New Opportunities Takeaways “Self-care is so important.” - Weslia Echols “Keep your mind focused on the provision that God has made for you.” - Willa Williams “Embracing new opportunities is key to an abundant life.” - Weslia Echols “Push past the dollar amount that you put on yourself.” - Willa Williams “I want to present myself outwardly, as good as I feel inwardly.” - Weslia Echols “I love who I am, I love the space that I’m in, therefore I am going to present that wherever I go.” - Weslia Echols “You can make a change in your life and it can be good for you.” - Willa Williams “We all have opportunities all around us.” - Weslia Echols “Get beyond telling people what you’re going to do and get to the point where you intentionally show people what you’re going to do, what you’re about, and who you are.” - Weslia Echols “The abundant life that God has for us never changes. We just have to show up and live in it.” - Willa Williams Mentioned in this episode: Patrice Washington: Evolving In Purpose This episode is brought to you by the Abundant Living Wealth & Wisdom Facebook Community.

44. Overcoming Negative Self-Talk
Negative self-talk can creep in and impact our lives in more ways than we can ever imagine and without us realizing it. It can cause us to become our own worst enemy. But when we recognize it, we can change the negative self-talk to a more positive, encouraging, and motivating message to ourselves. This was a real reality for us at TFC when we were beginning to launch The Abundant Living Podcast. We looked at the time, effort, and skills needed to be successful and doubted if we were really prepared or should move forward in the midst of all the things going on last year during the pandemic. We were challenged with the same things many faces every day. The negativity surrounding COVID-19, caring for aging parents, helping kids graduate college, building our business, and all this in the midst of establishing new households after moving to our dream homes. Nevertheless!!!! We got clarity and recognized that we had begun to listen to the roar of the enemy and not the still small voice of our Father. So here we are today, we just celebrated the one-year anniversary of The Abundant Living Podcast. We heard God, trusted Him and He got it all done through us. Our self-talk went from doubting to encouraging and when it did our eyes and hearts opened to the reality of what God was doing and we overcame all negative self-talk. On this episode of The Abundant Living Podcast, “Overcoming Negative Self-Talk“, our conversations include: Identifying negative self-talk and its impacts on you Changing what influences your self-talk How to change your mindset to positive self-talk Forward-thinking removes the things that hold you back Connect with Weslia Echols, AFC® and Willa Williams, AFC®, Trinity Financial Coaching Join the Abundant Living Facebook Community !

43. Lindsay Rae Perry: The Journey to Be CEO Of Your Life
There is an underlying foundation for success that aligns with HARD WORK and this develops your work habits and your work ethic. But have you ever stopped to identify what drives work ethic to morph into hustle & grind, burnout, or even breakdown? Today we talked with Lindsay Rae Perry about the journey from the hustling and grinding to being the CEO of your LIFE. Lindsay Rae Perry is an award-winning CEO, serial entrepreneur, with over a decade of experience in strategic marketing, messaging and cloud-business consulting and is mastering the art of building multiple businesses holistically without compromising her values, worth, and integrity by partnering with multiple global brands such as Google, AT&T, HubSpot, and RingCentral just to name a few. This isn’t how her journey began, at one point, the pressures of being a black woman entrepreneur in corporate America, plus high-functioning anxiety, were driving Lindsay’s personal life and career into the ground. The combination of depression, anxiety, a deep-rooted sense of unworthiness, and the constant hustle-and-grind lifestyle, led to a nervous breakdown that landed Lindsay in the hospital. It was in this darkness that she remembered her true purpose: to be a pioneer in helping women leaders to heal our stories of unworthiness while building sustainable lives and businesses without compromise. With her “God first” philosophy and strategic expertise, as CEO of the LRP Agency, Her vision is to be a vessel of transformational consulting and mentorship for women-owned women entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to find freedom in building a sustainable life and business.

42. Seasons of Frugality
You probably already know, deep down, the basics of being financially successful. Work hard, save, invest, spend wisely, and don’t take your eye off the ball. But this doesn’t have to mean you have to live a penny-pinching life with no treats. You can live a happy, fulfilled life and still be financially responsible. And the secret is to embrace frugality. We’ve experienced frugality in seasons. These seasons of frugality have been opportunities to build, grow and reach goals that we set for ourselves. Chosen times when we intentionally changed our spending to help us reconcile where we were to where we wanted to go. They were ultimately seasons of positivity and growth. In this episode, we are discussing the value of intentionally making adjustments to spending habits to reach our goals. What is frugality? Frugal or Cheap Intentional Frugality vs Forced Frugality Impacts of a scarcity mindset on frugality Connect with Weslia Echols, AFC® and Willa Williams, AFC®, Trinity Financial Coaching Join the Abundant Living Facebook Community !

20. Ifeoma "Iffy" Ibekwe, Esq.: What Is Your Legacy?
What comes to mind when you think about “legacy”? Do you think about inheriting something? Or leaving something for someone as an inheritance? Or do you not think about “legacy” because you feel that you don’t have anything of value to give anyone? Well, recent statistics reveal that over 70% of Black Families do not have estate plans in place which indicates that they may not be positioned to leave a legacy for their families. These are necessary documents that can allow the smooth passing of assets from one generation or person to another. Establishing an estate plan can resolve problems with asset distribution but it also provides other protections which we utilize while living including wills, trusts, medical directives, power of attorneys, and more. These protections are critical and are readily available from a reputable estate planning attorney. To provide insight on the importance of estate planning our guest on this episode is Ifeoma (Iffy) Ibekwe, Esq. an estate planning attorney, Founder, and Principal Attorney at Ibekwe Law, PLLC in Austin, Texas. Iffy is an evangelist for inter-generational wealth transfer who activates intentional women so they can build impactful legacies. We invite you to join us as we discuss: The purpose and importance of having an Estate Plan The components of an Estate Plan The real cost of an Estate Plan Protecting the control of your assets from the state where you live Do It Yourself Estate Planning vs. Using an Estate Planning Attorney Scripture: Proverbs 13:22 NIV A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.

17. Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson: Disrupting Cycles of Burnout
Burnout is a thief seeking to devour the patience, peace, joy, and love you have for your career, business, and family.

16. REWIND: Financial RESET
Have you ever had to do a reset in your life? I mean, a total control-alt-delete? For us, typically, a reset means “What does God have to say about this,” or how does this align with the will or the word of God. This even applies to finances. Why is that? Because God knows that our attitude toward money is an indication of where our heart is with God. We will either follow after gold or God, and we cannot serve two masters. So we will either turn to our wallets or our worship when we look to the source of our security. But we have to remember: Money is a resource, not your Source. In this episode, we have a candid discussion about: Having a financial mindset that is consistent with God Examining your financial situation and your spiritual mindset Trinity Financial Coaching sponsors the Abundant Living Podcast. We help financially uncertain professional women of faith confidently transform their cash flow to wealth while living abundantly. Is this you?

13. Self-Care & Leisure: Luxury or Necessity?
Do you rest after a hard day of work or after a day full of tiring tasks? Do you schedule personal or private time with yourself? Just you, so that you can chill and rejuvenate to be ready for the next thing on your list? What about leisure time? What does leisure time mean to you? Do you treat yourself to your favorite activity free of guilt, appreciating the pleasure it brings you? If you don’t, you should. We all need to practice self-care and schedule leisure time to take on the responsibilities we face each day successfully. We have the perfect model of doing so. Genesis 2:1-3 tells us that God finished His work in creation then He rested. He took the time to chill, appreciated what he created, and ready Himself for what was coming next. We need to learn to do the same, so we can enjoy the abundance of God while living healthy, productive, and stress-free lives.

11. Lessons From The Father: Part 1
This is the special time of the year when we celebrate our earthly fathers and honor them for loving, covering, protecting and providing for us. This is not only what we receive from our earthly father but also from God The Father. He is our ultimate creator and provider. At times our earthly fathers may err in their ways but never God the Father so we must always honor Him whole heartedly. God The Father blessed our earthly fathers to bring us into this world and with that came a charge to care for, love and provide for us. That does not always happen and can result in bad relationships between us and our fathers. So bad that it can impact our relationship with God. But because God is perfect in His ways we cannot allow what our earthly fathers do, who are subject to err, cause us to move away from our closeness to God. We invite you to listen to this week's episode, “Letters From The Father Part 1” and experience how this dynamic can occur and what we must do to reconcile ourselves with God. I share my experience with this and discuss how God helped me to right my errors. Listen and be assured that He can help you also. We will discuss: What things are you allowing to come between you and God The Father? Do you trust God completely or depend on self where you think He is not present? Did God have to remind you to reconcile with Him? Did He have to wait on you? A WORD FROM WESLIA and WILLA We believe in living abundantly in Christ and not allowing money or the needs of life to pull your focus from the gracious God who gives us all the ability to produce wealth.

10. Financial Changes: Minimize Your Fight Flight Response
Financial changes should be expected on your journey to financial transformation. So do you recognize how you respond? Do you know how to minimize letting your emotions or discomfort cause you to fret, panic or pause? "We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously." - 1 Corinthians 10:13-14 (The Passion Translation) In this episode we discuss the recognizing you fight, flight and freeze response as it relates to your finances.

9. Creating A Vision For Yourself
Now that you know your vision of wealth and who you want to be, don’t be deterred by others. Stay the course! Habakkuk 2:2-3 “ Write the vision make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (NKJV) And then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time. (MSG) The vision that I have for myself is ordained of God. He has given me clarity, my goals are set and I am moving forward. I will not let those who don’t see it for me deter me. This can be your personal view toward your vision for yourself. Everyone will not always see things the way you do. They are not looking through the lenses you are so they may not see what you see. On this episode we are discussing how to develop and stay strong as you carry out your personal vision from God. This conservation will help strengthen your resolve to stay the course on your vision of financial transformation. We will discuss: How to create the right vision for yourself Thinking positive in the midst of those who don’t believe How to recognize when a change is needed How to deal with the inevitable criticism A WORD FROM WESLIA and WILLA We believe in living abundantly in Christ and not allowing money to pull your focus from the gracious God who gives us all the ability to produce wealth.

2. Define Wealth for Yourself & Align Your Cashflow
We believe that your values and goals help to properly align your needs, wants, and desires, meaning that the purpose of managing your money and the purpose of wanting to have financial success must include or encompass more than just building or accumulating financial wealth. You must incorporate the things you value in your life while doing so because you can get to a point where you are working, saving, investing, and ultimately reach a point of achievement and realize that you have not done any of the other things that you value in life. TODAY’S CONVERSATION, Weslia and Willa discuss: Defining wealth for yourself Recognizing the impact of your values and goals on your finances Using money as a tool to help support the things you value Creating a Wealth Statement for your household How to establish a budget and make it work for you The true picture of a Budget. A WORD FROM WESLIA and WILLA: We believe in living abundantly in Christ and not allowing money or the needs of life to pull your focus from the gracious God who gives us all the ability to produce wealth. Therefore, our goal for you is to seek God in all you do as you follow His Word to manage money confidently, live life purposefully, and build wealth intentionally. Thank you for joining us for our conversation today. We would love to hear from you, and rate and review the podcast.

BONUS: Financial RESET
Have your ever had to do a reset in your life? I mean a total control-alt-delete? For us, typically a reset means “What does God have to say about this” or how does this align with the will or the word of God. This even applies to finances. Why is that? Because God knows that our attitude toward money is an indication of where our heart is with God. We will either follow after gold or God and we cannot serve two masters. We will either turn to our wallet or our worship when we look to the source of our security. But we have to remember: Money is to be a resource, but it is not to be My Source. Weslia and Willa have a candid discussion on these topics: Is your financial mindset consistent with God? Two truths about financial stewardship Where are you now? Examine your financial situation and your spiritual mindset Will God consider my financial decisions to be faithful or foolish? How will you get to faithfully honoring God with your finances? The Abundant Living Podcast is sponsored by Trinity Financial Coaching , where we help professional women of faith who are uncertain about their financial future confidently transform their cashflow to wealth while living abundantly.
