A Woman’s Guide to Earning More, Building Wealth, and Gaining Economic Power
Rachel Rodgers
This book details a realistic and achievable path for women to create the support, confidence, and plan needed to own their success and become millionaires. Rachel Rodgers addresses various obstacles such as shaky confidence, knowledge gaps in wealth building, imposter syndrome, and a misguided mindset about money. The book provides strategies to stop making 'broke-ass decisions' and start making 'million-dollar decisions,' including an eye-opening history lesson on how women and people of color have been shut out of wealth-building opportunities. It also includes practical advice like Rodgers’ $10K in 10 Days Challenge and emphasizes the importance of setting higher financial goals.
Today’s episode of The Funktional Nutrition Podcast is a little different — Erin is bringing back a past show that struck a chord with so many listeners, and it feels more relevant than ever. It’s the only episode she’s ever recorded on the topic of money, and she’s re-releasing it to explain exactly why it deserves a second listen. This isn’t just a conversation about finances — it’s about how we view ourselves, our worth, and where those beliefs come from. It’s a powerful message for everyone, but especially for those who are used to putting others first: moms, caretakers, over-functioners — this one’s for you.
The episode also dives into something deeper: how we shape our reality based on the beliefs and narratives we consume. In a world flooded with fear-based and limiting messages (particularly around the economy), it’s easy to fall into a mindset of scarcity and self-doubt. But Erin reminds us that when we train our minds to seek out evidence of possibility — not limitation — everything starts to shift. This is exactly why she created Manifest Your Wealth, a program returning June 1st by popular demand. If you’ve ever struggled to see yourself as a worthy investment and want to understand why that is — this episode is your pep talk… or maybe even your full-on pep rally.
In this episode:
Why women are more likely to feel guilty investing in themselves, and how to flip the script
How subconscious beliefs formed in childhood secretly limit your financial potential
The emotional connection between receiving support and feelings of shame
How to recognize if you’re permission-seeking OR self-trusting with money decisions
Why building wealth is about rewiring your brain, not just earning more income
