INFO
In this solo episode of Money and You, Michelle Perkins explores a powerful concept that has recently shifted the way she thinks about money, success, and personal growth: alignment.
After a conversation with an energy alignment coach, Michelle began looking at money through a new lens — not just from a practical or strategic standpoint, or even mindset, but from an energetic and emotional one. In this episode, she unpacks what “money alignment” really means and why it may be the missing piece between setting financial goals and actually achieving them.
Michelle shares how misalignment can quietly show up in:
- The way we think about wealthy people
- Our spending habits and financial decisions
- The disconnect between our goals and our beliefs
- Fear-based or impulsive money behaviors
- Trying to build a life based on what others want instead of what truly matters to us
Drawing from both her background as a former CPA and corporate finance executive and her years of coaching around money mindset, Michelle explains why financial success is about much more than budgets, investing, or strategy alone.
This episode is an invitation to become more intentional, self-aware, and aligned with your values, your purpose, and the kind of life you truly want to create.
