Ep #31: Chelsea Galicia: How to Mindfully Manage Your Money and Spend In Alignment with Your Values, Not Your Ego

The Breathe Like A Badass Podcast

This week, I’m talking to Chelsea Galicia, a financial coach and author of the book S.A.V.E. Yourself: Develop the Financial Fitness to Spend in Alignment with your Values, not Ego.

Chelsea is really honest about how she doesn’t have an inspiring rags-to-riches story. In her own words, she wasn't just comfortable growing up, she had a front row view to the building of a mini empire. She saw what it took to run profitable multi-million dollar businesses but on the flip side, she saw the darker sides of success, up close and personal.

Today, Chelsea teaches small and solo business owners how to operate profitable companies that honor and align with their values, not with their ego. She's also a lawyer, but her proudest legal-career move was leaving the law firm that the empire was built upon, and doing her own thing.

Chelsea is warm, open, honest and genuinely helped bring clarity, compassion - and real practical advice! - to the topic of money and finances, which I find is so often cloaked in shame and secrecy.

In this episode, we talked about

• How she made the move from law firm to financial coach, with a little help from Oprah
• Why figuring out your relationship with money is SO crucial, both for your personal life, and your business
• How to spend mindfully with intuition, and what that really means
• How to combine the practical and economic side of money with the important spiritual and emotional side that most people miss
• How your early experiences shape your relationship with money now (and how to fix that)
• Why being “rich”, and just having "more", isn’t enough to give you financial success
• How to become financially fit with the help of meditation and mindfulness, and figure out what success really means to you
• Why being mindful about money doesn’t mean “the end of fun” and constantly worrying about it all the time
• How to spend in alignment with your values

And why mindful women making money has the power to create huge, positive changes for our society, politics, and the planet.
