What if your desire isn't something to manage or minimize but something you're actually required to follow?
In this episode, I'm joined by Craig Siegel — coach, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and founder of the CLS Experience. Craig works with people operating at an elite level who are ready to stop playing small and step fully into their gift. From his Kabbalistic framework to his approach to certainty, discomfort, and identity, this conversation goes deep fast and it was one of those conversations I genuinely didn't want to end.
We get into what it really means to bring your inner work into your business, how to tell the difference between productive discomfort and misalignment, and why your spiritual studies might be the most important investment you're making right now.
In this episode: Why Craig looks at identity before he ever looks at results The difference between being uncomfortable in the right arena vs. burning out in the wrong one How to tell when you're outsourcing your power and how to take it back Why desire isn't the opposite of spirituality and why Craig wants you to want it all What Craig means when he says wealth is alignment The role of being a vessel and how gratitude functions as actual technology Follow Craig on Instagram: @craigsiegel_cls

You can feel something new coming and you're asking the old version of you to build it, and the old version of you doesn't have the capacity or the tools for that. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast I'm bringing you right into a live coaching session with Alee Morrison. Alee found her way here through a comment she left on one of Bridget McGing's posts, and I knew from that one comment that she was amazing. She sold the wellness business she owned for 13 years, moved her husband and three kids to Bali, and now they world school around the globe. And after two years of spaciousness she can feel something brewing, so she came in asking how to open herself to new income and receiving without immediately turning that into pressure to build something. In this episode: Why the life Alee spent 10 years calling in came through her kids' education and not her career Stepping into the opportunity first, and why the vehicle never looks the way you planned The 3D pressure, and the internal pressure of asking the old you to do something new Who you're working for, and why in the now you are never unimportant How I use 3D metrics in my own investing accounts without letting them use me Pulling down a new timeline, and Alee's prayer for God to meddle in her life If you heard yourself in Alee, the SI Club is where you keep stepping into the new you with money. You'll have the full SI Method training library, a Get Started Investing series, SI Money Practices to come back to and a community of people expanding right alongside you, plus a live call with me each month.

Analyzing where you are as a reason not to start is the first disservice you do to yourself. This week on The Spiritual Investor Podcast you get to meet Elimu Nelson, an actor and private basketball coach who played college basketball at Syracuse and who has been apart of The Spiritual Investor community for well over a year. And for that whole time he's been taking the replays and the podcast and putting them into practice in his life. He opened his brokerage account in October 2025, and at the start of 2026 he was in an awful financial position and decided he was not going to put value on himself in terms of the dollar amount in his bank account. So he dug into what he loves, and he tells the whole story here, including the day his theatrical agency of more than 10 years dropped him and why he was fine with it. In this episode: Why waiting is lack energy, and what happened when Elimu heard it Paying down debt and investing at the same time, because we live in an AND world Buying $50 of a stock at a time and contributing to his Roth every week to keep wood on the fire The question he asks himself: what happened, and what did you make it mean? Why the person with money neutrality over $100 a month can't be the same person who makes $100,000 a month Being committed in action without frenzy, and why people wonder how you're doing it Follow Elimu Nelson on Instagram: @elimu11 Come go deeper with me inside the SI Club, monthly or annual: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub
The real cost of playing small with money is the energy you spend upholding an identity that's too small for you. We work our whole lives for the 401k and the paid-off house like those checkboxes are where freedom starts. And those things fit nicely inside of who you are, but as the goal they leave an emptiness, because what we're looking for is ourselves. In this episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I talk about lining up with your human potential instead, why that is the magnetism that brings the money in, and what I've found underneath all of it: it's not the identity that's the cage, it's the need to prove it. In this episode: Why freedom with money is something you feel in the experience right now The house I bought seven years ago from a woman who had lived there for 30 years, and what it's like to see it go back on the market What extreme identity is and why it's the furthest point from your natural state Finding certainty in the one thing that doesn't change while everything else does How to notice when you're pushing abundance away, whether it's money or love The mantra I took on over a decade ago: show up needing nothing and receive all Come go deeper with me inside the SI Club, monthly or annual: thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub Music licensed through Soundstripe.

What if there's no right way to do money, only the way you're doing it now? In today's episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast, I share what's been moving through me lately, from selling a property and finally looking at the details I used to skip, to the stories coming through the SI Club about money neutrality showing up as new clients and new possibilities. I talk about why money neutrality is a practice rather than a permanent state, and how to come back to it when life pulls you out. Then we get practical. I walk through where the market is right now, why treasury yields and oil prices are part of the conversation, and why diversification is one of the most grounded ways I know to hold neutrality in the 3D. In this episode: Why accounting is the history of money, and finance is where the creativity lives How money neutrality helped one member move out of fear and into booking new clients My story of leaving corporate, realizing I was the product, and letting go of how I filtered myself Teaching kids to invest, and the conscious parenting collaboration coming soon to the SI Club The hidden beliefs that push abundance away, and the disentanglement exercise I use to come back to myself A flat market, rising treasury yields, inflation, and why staying invested matters when things feel uncertain If you're interested in learning more about the SI Club, visit thespiritualinvestor.com/siclub.

What if the time problem you keep trying to solve was never a time problem? This episode is a live coaching session. Samantha McKay commented on a giveaway post on Bridget McGing's Instagram, won a session with me, and showed up with a question I hear constantly: how do I stop trading my time for money without blowing up my whole life? We talk about: Samantha's move from full time law to a fractional practice, cutting from 24 hours a week down to 12 Why fewer hours is a 3D fix that the old stories find their way back into The difference between your time being dictated and being in resistance to what you already agreed to Why the time conversation is really a sacrifice conversation How being happy in the hours you committed to is the contribution, not the output Samantha's goal of an extra $5K a month from income that isn't tied to her hours About Samantha McKay: Samantha McKay is an attorney and a mother of two young children living in Los Angeles. She and her husband moved from Melbourne, Australia eight years ago and arrived with nothing. She is currently transitioning into a fractional legal practice while building income streams that don't depend on her hours.
