In part two of her conversation with Dr. Maria Nemeth, Heidi Schalk digs into the topic Maria is best known for: our relationship with money. Featured on Oprah and author of The Energy of Money, Maria reframes money as one of six kinds of energy we get to use in life, alongside time, physical vitality, creativity, enjoyment, and relationship.

The conversation explores why money is so emotional, why capable women still wrestle with deserving it, and how limiting beliefs are just the brain's negativity bias talking us out of leaving the metaphorical cave.

Maria shares two unforgettable client stories: Sally, who went from welfare to running her own business after starting with fifty dollars a month, and a supermarket cashier who funded a cruise once she saw how much money she was quietly leaking.

At the heart of it is Maria's definition of financial success: doing what you said you would do consistently with money, with clarity, focus, ease, and grace. She closes with practical guidance on charging your worth, taking one small sweet step today, and a Mark Twain reminder that twenty years from now you will regret what you didn't do far more than what you did.

Maria Nemeth, PhD, MCC, is the Founder and Director of the Academy for Coaching Excellence and has trained thousands of coaches around the world. An accomplished psychologist working with people in crisis, she is also a well-known expert in leadership excellence, personal/professional development, and financial empowerment. Voted one of the 50 most influential people in wealth management in the UK, her work has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Inc Magazine. Maria is the author of two highly acclaimed books: The Energy of Money, available in five languages, and its follow-up, Mastering Life’s Energies.

In this episode of the Be S.H.E. Podcast Heidi Schalk sits down with Dr. Maria Nemeth, founder of the Academy for Coaching Excellence, author of The Energy of Money and Mastering Life's Energies, and a coach who's trained tens of thousands worldwide. Dr. Maria shares how a $35,000 scam forty years ago became the unlikely origin of her life's work, and why "your breakdowns hold the key to your breakthrough."

The conversation digs into how to find your purpose by first discovering what it isn't, why contribution (not revenue) should anchor your business, and the neuroscience of fear. Why our 100,000-year-old brain treats going live on social media like stepping out of the cave toward a saber-toothed tiger. Dr. Maria closes with her definition of success: doing what you said you'd do, consistently, with clarity, focus, ease, and grace.

A part two on The Energy of Money is coming soon.

Burnout is not a personal failure. That single reframe sits at the heart of Heidi's conversation with Wendy S. Meadows, certified life coach, former lawyer, and author of Sparkle and Grit. Wendy's take is refreshingly freeing: burnout is not a sign you did something wrong, it is more like a common cold, something that keeps happening to busy women and moms no matter how many times we swear we have learned our lesson. The real skill is learning to see it coming and knowing exactly how to climb back out.

Wendy shares how she traded the courtroom for coaching by holding onto the part of law she loved most, the human connection, and letting go of the rest. She and Heidi dig into what it really means to live your best life, why finding the silver lining became second nature to Wendy after a childhood shaped by divorce and a demanding stepfather, and how our hardest seasons often carry our biggest growth.

Wendy S. Meadows, best-selling author of sparkle & GRIT, inspires others to live a technicolor life by finding balance and beating burnout. Wendy’s experience comes from her unique career path of family law attorney turned life coach. Recognized for her excellence in family law, Wendy holds the AV Preeminent rating and continues to be honored as one of Maryland’s Top 100 Lawyers and Top 50 Women Lawyers. With over 20 years of combined experience in litigating, mediating, coaching, and consulting, Wendy offers highly relatable and spot-on insight. Today, Wendy leverages her extensive expertise to coach clients, provide strategic consulting for law firms, mediate family law disputes with empathy and precision, and deliver engaging talks at professional events. In her free time, she loves playing in the water with her family and dreaming up her next travel extravaganza.
