On today’s show, I sit down with author and speaker Cathy Heller to discuss her book, 'Abundant Ever After: Tools for Creating a Life of Prosperity and Ease.' Cathy shares her personal journey from a challenging childhood to discovering the true meaning of abundance through spiritual teachings and personal growth. 

We delve into deep topics such as the philosophy of Kabbalah, the importance of receiving, setting intentions, and finding purpose. Cathy also offers practical advice for establishing a morning routine and cultivating a mindset of abundance and self-worth.

In this episode, you’ll hear: 

• Cathy’s personal journey from struggle to abundance and the spiritual awakening she experienced in Jerusalem

• A powerful distinction between the Law of Attraction and the often-overlooked Law of Reception

• How to align with abundance by tuning into flow, worthiness, and the deeper meaning of happiness

• The importance of living authentically, following your soul’s path, and creating a soul-aligned morning routine

• Why receiving is just as powerful as giving, and how it opens the door to oneness and true abundance
