I have a special guest today who I reconnected with a few months ago after 10 years. Christie Flynn was a client back in 2014 when she was a health coach. We re-engineered her business and transformed her money relationship. And then we lost touch for a while, which I found out why and you will hear about that in our interview. When she found me on LinkedIn back in November 2024, I was delighted to see her direct message in my account. But something was different about her energy and the info on her profile had changed. It read Psychic Medium and Executive Coach. I said to myself...

So, when I met my guest In October 2024 at a women’s global networking event here in LA and listened to her story as she was introducing herself, I intuitively knew she’d be...
