234. Wealth Consciousness with Cortney McDermott
Happy Whole You
If money has ever felt heavy, confusing, or out of reach, it’s not about your bank account. It’s about how you relate to your own value.

You hear stories that flip the script, from a mystic who gives away a diamond to a business deal that turns around the moment alignment replaces effort.

232. The Inner Teacher with Cortney McDermott
Happy Whole You

Rather than searching externally for answers, true alignment comes from turning inward and learning to deeply listen. We break down how intuition is an inner knowing that arrives softly and quickly, often felt in the gut or heart, and how the mind tends to overtake it when we don’t listen. The conversation highlights why inner guidance is essential for coherence, alignment, and living in flow. We also reframe manifestation, shifting it from “doing more” to...
