In this episode, host Christy Pennison sits down with wealth & wellness coach Jacent Wamala for a heartfelt, eye-opening conversation about what it really means to create a healthier, more empowered money mindset. From growing up with little financial literacy to paying off nearly $100K in debt on a $17K salary, Jacent’s story is a powerful reminder that your past doesn’t define what’s possible—your vision does.
Your nervous system may not be ready for everything that you want, which means you’ll have to work so that you can become the container to hold the abundance—which is enjoying the bright side without always thinking about the rain cloud.

Whether you’ve been avoiding your bank account or dreaming of something more aligned and abundant, this conversation invites you to rethink what’s possible—not just with money, but with your mindset, your future, and yourself.
Grab your notebook (or your favorite cozy drink) and get ready to reconnect—with your values, your vision, and your power to create abundance from the inside out.
Because this isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nurturing a new way of being. And Jacent and Christy are here to show you how.
