6.17 | Building an Ungovernable Business Using PMAs with Angela Merzib
In this conversation with Angela Merzib, you'll learn how Private Membership Associations (PMAs) allow your business to exist in its own jurisdictional bubble where you can create your own rules about how you operate. Angela Merzib is the founder of Be Bold Branding and Sacred, where she teaches brilliant business owners to build businesses on their own terms, in the private domain. There are very specific steps you have to follow in order for your PMA to not cross into the public domain, where most businesses become subject to the registration and regulatory/tax framework of the state you're formed in. In 42 minutes, you'll have tools to create a legal business structure that's as sovereign as you are.

6.16 | Matriarchy as a Marketing Tool
When everyone slaps "matriarchy" on a co-housing community, a leadership coaching course, and a business model without having the ACTUAL infrastructure, it dilutes both the meaning and the movement. Matriarchy is not vibes or an aesthetic. It's a blueprint for a more humane and connected way of living. On today's episode, we're talking about what matriarchy actually is and isn't. I outline the four must-have pillars of matriarchal infrastructure, in other words, what's required legally and somatically for matriarchy to become real and established for the long game: Ownership Governance Wealth Systems Embodiment In approximately 30 minutes, you'll know what gaps you need to close in your co-housing ownership structure, your leadership structures, in how you move money through your business, and in how you share power.

6.15 | Building the Muscle of Reciprocity
A matriarchal economy requires us to see ourselves in that bigger web of relationship, of which trust is the foundation, simultaneously releasing our patterns of transactional exchange. In this episode, you'll learn: -the differences between transaction, reciprocity and extraction; -why you default to transactional exchanges vs trusting the greater web of relationship; -the 5 relational archetypes and how they relate to how we give and receive in relationships; -how to build the trust to make reciprocity feel safer. Reciprocity is the wealth-building foundation of the modern economic matriarchy. Get the transcripts and learn more on my website: www.ishavela.com/podcast Ready to move money like a matriarch?

6.14 | Starving the Machine, Matriarchally
And the question of how to withdraw from the machine, strategically, structurally, collectively, is one of the most practically urgent questions available right now, perfect for today's eclipse. In today's episode, I show you exactly how to: -withdraw your life force from the machine, -make the machine lose its leverage (based on its four favorite weapons) -build the alternative infrastructure based on the four forms of capital. In just under 30 minutes, you'll receive the map to withdraw from the narcissistic machine in the very same way you withdraw supply from a narcissistic partner. It's the collective, feral GTFO plan.

6.13 | The Signs of Hidden Financial Abuse
This is the first time I tell the full story of my experience with financial abuse. Because 1 in 6 women experience it, and most think it'll NEVER happen to them. Because I, a psychologist, was one of the 3 in 5 women who don't see it until AFTER they leave the relationship. Because I've sat down with dozens of women who are experiencing the same things I did and they're NOT calling it financial abuse. They're calling it: "The economy's bad and he hasn't been able to find work." "He's depressed and has a learning disorder that's made it hard for him to keep a job." "We haven't been able to get out of debt despite me making good money." "We constantly fight about money." "He refuses to sit down with anyone other than his advisor." Meanwhile, women are burning out under carrying the load of what they can't name as abuse because it doesn't fit the textbook definition. In this episode, I share: -the process of moving from "what am I doing wrong" to "there's definitely something wrong here" that enabled me to leave; -my recommended GTFO plan; -other women's stories of financial abuse that they graciously offered over IG (and gave consent to share for this episode). In 30 minutes, you'll recognize the subtle signs of financial control in your relationship dynamics, inoculate yourself against financial abuse, and maybe even help someone who's in that sitch right now.

6.12 | Four Models of Matriarchal Wealth Redistribution
I used to drool at the thought of becoming a professional philanthropist. I pictured myself donating my time, wads of money, energy funding women's businesses and ecological projects all around the world. That image in my head felt like the peak experience, like if I could achieve that it would mean I'd arrived. But when I started studying matriarchal economics and specifically wealth distribution models, I had to rethink some things. Because philanthropy is the dominant model of redistribution inside the current economy and it is structurally designed to leave the power differential intact. In this podcast episode I dive into the four categories of redistribution that get collapsed under philanthropy, and each one's role in moving us from the control of the triangle (where power is concentrated at the top) to circle (where power is distributed through relationships). In just under 30 minutes, you'll understand how to balance your redistribution portfolio along with 4 steps to putting it in action in ways that distribute power.

6.11 | 4 Practices That Break The Scarcity Cycle
The energy that drives the matriarchal economy is GENEROSITY. Not performative, one-off donation kind of generosity that happens once a blue moon when the spirit moves you. I'm talking about the structural, consistent, normalized assumptive generosity of a woman who moves money through community. And internalized scarcity is what stops generosity cold. It doesn't matter how aligned your values are. It doesn't matter how much you believe in the matriarchal economy. If your internal ecosystem is running a scarcity program underneath all of that belief, you won't circulate consistently. You will hoard in ways that feel like a responsible choice. You will give sporadically, not necessarily from guilt but maybe sometimes, and then contract. You will keep waiting for when you have more to begin giving consistently. Dissolving internalized scarcity is the real work at the foundation of a matriarchal economy. And in this episode, I share the 4 practices that've helped me break the cycle of scarcity in my lineage. Before there was a framework, these practices planted the seeds of everything I now teach about ecological wealth.
