Ep194 Micro-Changes Instead of Resolutions
Big New Year’s resolutions often lead to big overwhelm, and very little follow-through. In this episode, Alpha explores why micro-changes are the real key to sustainable financial growth and confidence.

In This Episode, We Cover: Why New Year’s money resolutions often fail The role of identity in financial behaviour How beliefs, stories, and language shape your money habits The difference between intentional money management and avoidance Why micro-investing and small automations are so powerful How to create CEO-level clarity without micromanaging your finances Simple micro-actions you can implement immediately This episode is perfect for anyone who feels overwhelmed by money, short on time, or stuck in cycles of avoidance, and is ready for a gentler, smarter way forward. 🎧 Tune in and start building momentum through micro-changes.

Ep191 Human Design with Selena Hillier
In this enlightening episode of Money with Alpha, Alpha Schulte sits down with Selena Hillier, Human Design practitioner, life coach, and corporate leader turned soul-led entrepreneur. Together they explore how understanding your unique Human Design type can unlock self-acceptance, release shame, and create alignment in every area of life — including money. Selena shares her journey from corporate sales manager to Human Design guide, explaining how this blend of science and spirituality helps people reconnect with who they truly are. She and Alpha discuss practical ways to apply Human Design in relationships, parenting, business, and even how we relate to money. From breaking free of conditioning and “shoulds,” to accepting your natural energy flow, this conversation will inspire you to live—and spend—more consciously and authentically. Key Takeaways Human Design blends science and spirituality using birth data to reveal how you’re uniquely wired. Five energy types—Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector—each operate differently. Self-awareness leads to self-acceptance. Understanding your design removes shame and judgment. Parenting and relationships transform when we honour how others are designed to operate. Money blocks often mirror conditioning. Human Design helps uncover energetic patterns behind financial habits. Goals aren’t for everyone. Some people thrive through flow and intuition rather than rigid planning.

Alpha also shares what's brewing for early 2026: a community-focused program designed to bring women together to grow, learn, and create empowered money momentum. This episode invites you to pause, reflect, and think about your own year — financially, emotionally, and personally — so you can step into the new year with clarity and intention.

Ep185 Money School Fundamentals
In this episode of Money with Alpha, we dive into what I like to call Money School — the foundational lessons we all wish we’d been taught about money, but weren’t. Just like school gave us structure for learning, we can create our own curriculum for financial wisdom — one that blends knowledge with experience and real-life relevance. There is an upside to learning about money as an adult - we have real-world experience which makes us (hopefully) better able to understand how to apply what we learn to our lives. The wisdom that comes with age gives us an advantage here! Alpha walks through the five core fundamentals of Money School, helping you move from confusion to clarity, and from reaction to intentional action with your money. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: What money really is – beyond numbers and emotions, it’s simply a tool for value exchange. How much money you truly need (and want) – and why clarity here changes everything. How you earn – identifying ways to earn aligned with your skills, passions, and lifestyle. What to do with the money you earn – learning the balance between saving, spending, and investing. Why automation is freedom – how setting systems helps you stress less and live more. Key Takeaway: Money is a tool, not a test. When you understand how to earn, use, and automate it, you unlock the freedom to focus on what really matters — living the life you choose. 👉 Listen now to start building your own Money School toolkit for a simpler, calmer, and more abundant financial life.

Ep177 Money Momentum Pathway
Money isn’t just about numbers—it’s about freedom, choices, and building the life you want. But for many women, managing money feels overwhelming or unclear. In this solo episode, I introduce you to the Money Momentum Pathway, a powerful framework designed to help you move from financial confusion to confidence. The pathway is built on three key pillars: Clarity – getting clear on your values and long-term vision so money supports what matters most. Visibility – seeing where your money is going and how it’s working for you. Flexibility – adapting your financial plan as your life, priorities, and goals evolve. Together, these three elements create momentum—and with momentum comes motivation. Instead of worrying about “sticking to a budget,” you’ll find yourself asking, “How much more can I invest this month?” This episode will inspire you to look at money differently—not as something to restrict you, but as a tool to create freedom, security, and joy. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why clarity about your values is the foundation of empowered money decisions. How financial visibility shifts you from feeling out of control to confident. Why flexibility is essential as life and goals evolve. How momentum makes managing money feel natural, purposeful, and exciting. Resources & Links: Join the waitlist for the

Ep171 What We All Think But Don't Say About Money
In this deeply relatable episode, Alpha opens up about the emotional side of money—the unspoken reasons why so many of us procrastinate when it comes to our finances. From the fear of judgment to the comfort of familiar (but unhelpful) habits, she dives into five key reasons we put off dealing with money matters, even when we know it’s important. Whether you're avoiding your bills, putting off switching providers, or just feel like you “should be better at this by now,” this episode reminds you that you're not alone—and you’re not broken. 💡 In This Episode, Alpha Shares: Why self-judgment is the real fear behind feeling judged by others How to keep what you love (like coffee or chocolate) and still be smart with money The myth that managing money is "hard"—and how to simplify it Why shame and guilt hold us back from progress How familiarity with discomfort keeps us stuck—and how to gently move forward ✨ Takeaway Message: You don’t need to overhaul your finances overnight. Financial empowerment is built through small, safe, and intentional steps that honor where you are now. It's time to bring kindness into the conversation about money—and release the guilt.
