Send us a textEver find yourself side-eyeing your bank account like it’s a mysterious creature you can’t quite figure out? You’re not alone. In this week’s episode of Unleashed & Unstoppable, we’re diving into the powerful and surprisingly playful art of commanding your wealth. Not controlling it, not chasing it… but commanding it from a place of trust, clarity, and leadership.Join Alex and Carol as they unpack what it really means to be in relationship with your money. Relationship that's grounded in intimacy, awareness and ease. Because here’s the truth: your wealth already belongs to you. You just have to learn how to call it in.We explore the difference between being in control and being controlling, and why so many high-achieving leaders unknowingly hand their power over to money. (Spoiler: it’s often not about the dollars. It’s about identity, self-worth, and old subconscious stories that keep us hustling instead of receiving.)Here’s a taste of what you’ll hear inside this episode: 💡 How to use “Pearson’s Law” to shift your financial results with just 10-15 minutes of daily connection to your wealth. 💡 Why resistance shows up when you try to get intimate with your numbers (and how that resistance is actually an invitation, not a red flag). 💡 The restaurant analogy you’ll never forget: how ordering your wealth like you’d order your favorite meal teaches you trust, surrender, and gratitude. 💡 How money magnifies who you already are and what that means for purpose-driven leaders. 💡 The shift from money commanding you to you commanding money and the energy alignment that allows it to flow.Carol shares her personal breakthrough moment with the realization that she had been letting finances run her calendar, decisions, and relationships, and how taking back that role of “commander” completely transformed her wealth reality. Alex reflects on her own years of resistance and what changed when she finally leaned in, showing how awareness, alignment, and intentional being are the true starting points for abundance.This episode isn’t about spreadsheets or strict budgets. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about reprogramming your subconscious beliefs around money, identity, and worth so that wealth becomes an extension of who you are, not something you chase.So, Leader, how intimate are you with your wealth? Do you treat it like a trusted partner… or like that text you’ve been avoiding? Tune in to discover how to make your money relationship one of ease, trust, and empowerment, and walk away with a simple daily practice (plus a mantra) to rewire your mindset for abundance.✨ Try This💬 DM to work with us.⭐️ Please leave a RATING or REVIEW!Alex Lianne Carter Website | Instagram | Facebook | LinkedInGrab Your Top Productivity Hacks for Female Leaders 🧠Carol Register Experience 7+ Figures and complete nervous system and wealth reset retreats✨ https://linktr.ee/CarolRegister Let's IGNITE your wealth?

Send us a textEver notice how bravery often shows up in the quietest moments; the times no one else sees? Not when you’re leaping off cliffs or slaying dragons (though, props if you are!), but when you say yes to your next chapter even when your knees are shaking.In this heartfelt and laughter-sprinkled episode, Alex and Carol celebrate National Brave Day by exploring what courage really looks like for women who lead, nurture, and create EVEN when the path ahead feels uncertain. Drawing inspiration from Brené Brown’s definition of courage, which is the choice to be vulnerable and show up, even when the outcome is unknown is the conversation that dives into the real, sometimes messy truth behind brave action.Carol opens the episode with a tribute to Alex’s own bravery: from once dreading Facebook Lives to now sharing sun-kissed beach walks from her new home in Panama. Together, they unpack what it takes to uproot your life for a vision bigger than comfort and to exchange hustle for harmony, and “shoulds” for soul-led choices.You’ll hear Alex reflect on the neuroscience of courage and how our brains are wired for safety, yet our spirits crave expansion. She shares candid stories about adjusting to a new culture, parenting in Spanish (while still learning it herself!), and watching her daughters model bravery in the simplest ways, including playing with new friends despite language barriers, or walking confidently into unfamiliar classrooms.Carol also opens up about her own courageous chapters: learning Spanish in her 50s, running a new business in a new country alone, and redefining what strength looks like after loss. Together, they remind us that bravery doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it’s the whisper that says, keep going anyway.✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:Why hustle culture can secretly sabotage our sense of safety and how to rewire your brain for ease instead.The powerful connection between vision and vulnerability, and why every big leap begins with a small, honest question: “What do I truly want to create?”How modeling bravery for the next generation starts with slowing down, being present, and letting go of perfection.The neuroscience of courage and how to train your mind to see uncertainty as expansion, not danger.Why community and connection (like the Worthy Book Club) can transform fear into fuel when you surround yourself with brave women walking their own bold paths.Before you hit play, take a breath. Think about the last time you did something that scared you where you spoke up, set a boundary, made a change, or simply chose yourself.
