You've worked hard to create a successful life. But are you actually enjoying it?

Maybe you've built a thriving career or business. You have money, opportunities, and choices.

But you're still the one making the decisions.

Managing the details.

Anticipating what could go wrong.

And holding everything together.

You thought success would create more freedom.

So why does it sometimes feel like you're working harder than ever?

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle sits down with Elizabeth Ralph, founder of The Spiritual Investor, intuitive investor, wealth strategist, and host of The Spiritual Investor podcast.

Elizabeth retired at 39 after a career as a financial executive and energy trader. Today, she teaches entrepreneurs about investing, financial freedom, and what she calls money neutrality.

But this isn't just a conversation about making more money.

It's about creating a different relationship with success, receiving, identity, and control.

Elizabeth shares what happened when she challenged the way she was running her already-successful business. By giving her trusted team more decision-making responsibility, she created space for greater collaboration and personal freedom.

Brenda also shares the deeply personal story of traveling across the United States with her dog while her father was dying and how grief and identity changes affected her relationship with receiving.

When Brenda says, “Receptivity felt dangerous,” Elizabeth pauses, and the conversation takes a powerful turn.

Together, they explore why receiving can feel natural in one area of life and difficult in another, and what becomes possible when we stop judging ourselves for the places where we're still growing.

In this episode, you'll explore:

• What money neutrality means and why Elizabeth considers it foundational to her approach to wealth

• Why having money and feeling financially free aren't necessarily the same experience

• How to question the patterns and identities that keep you doing everything the hard way

• What Elizabeth means by “breaking the structure”

• How Elizabeth created more freedom by allowing her team to make more decisions

• Why receiving felt dangerous for Brenda during a period of grief and uncertainty

• Why receiving can feel easier in one area of life than another

• How curiosity, self-trust, and allowing support can change your experience of success
