WE HAVE A NEW GROUP!! Join us here for giveaways and fun: The Freedom Guild Follow me on Instagram Everyone talks about they are breaking generational curses, and releasing trauma that their ancestors brought us… but what about the positive side of things? What positive attributes that make up our DNA did we get from decades and centuries of evolution throughout our history? Why are we not talking about and using those to our advantage? We may not have to fend for ourselves on a daily basis, or hunt down our food like they did; but what can we use that strength, courage, and bravery for today? Just because we aren’t using what we have to survive, doesn’t mean we can’t use them to thrive. Modern luxuries have made us sort of soft, and it’s time to light a fire and awaken new ambition to create a life of our dreams.

EPISODE 32: ALL THE SMALL(ER) THINGS

3/18/2023
Just like 1 big meal a week, you don’t get into debt by one big purchase every once in a while. It’s not the one bad meal, but the empty/mindless calories day after day that make the biggest difference. Those drive through coffees, random daily amazon purchases, and purchases that “only cost $20” are the biggest budget busters out there. Small things added up over time. There might be other issues other than avocado toast why millennials can’t buy a house, but there is some truth to that. We have gotten so used to modern conveniences, that it sucks the life out of our health and our budget. I’d love to hear from you: what are your biggest budget busters? What can you save for an every-once-in-a-while treat that you’ve become accustomed to doing multiple times a week? I bet it could make the biggest difference in your budget! (And maybe your waistline?) Visit my website here! Tag me on Instagram with your biggest "small" budget busters.

EPISODE 30: THE MAGIC TRIO

1/31/2023
In the last several years, I have gone on a path to reconnect myself to my passions + the things that I LOVE helping people most with, and I kept coming back to these three- and I couldn’t pick just one. Even though the realm of what I do is “Financial Coaching”, and it feels like a random sort of things: I promise you, they are more intertwined than you can imagine. So why Finances? I have been passionate about this for the longest time. As a single mom who is self employed with inconsistent income, I had to learn VERY quickly early on how to smartly budget my money. I also quickly learned that it was never about how much money I MADE, but rather what I did with it that mattered. I learned through life experience + my network marketing business, that I wanted SO BADLY for other people to find the financial freedom I was able to have. I wanted people to know there was a “better way” than how most Americans were living. Let’s be for real: we in America were not taught to do well with our finances. (I mean, just look at the federal government and how they handle money). Borrowing, in massive debt, spending more than we make, stress…. It’s the norm. But what I know for a fact is, as with most things in life – you cannot change your financial situation in an impactful way with a shitty mindset. You can not change your money habits, when you don’t have an open mind to learn, and the desire to be better. It all starts with mindset. When I did financial coaching, I quickly realized that people were missing such a key element that I believe would make all the difference: their mindset around finances SUCKED, and they didn’t even know about manifestation, let alone believe in it! Not only that – I realized the type of people who were on their way to being successful, or who already were, in some capacity in their life, their careers/business, etc - they WANTED to do better and be more successful. They took ownership. They had that desire already in them. They were open minded and optimistic. They had goals and dreams. They were not just complacent, watching life pass them by. Not playing the blame game, having a pity party, or coming up with all the reasons why they couldn’t get out of their situation. They wanted to grow and learn. They understand that they got themselves into a mess, it’s their responsibility to get themselves out – DESPITE how society works against them. Successful people take ownership. Thus, the mindset and manifestation aspect of what I taught quickly took a front row seat The last aspect (and perhaps the most perplexing to some) of the trio – is gut health. Yup. Your internal health. It is proven that your gut health is tied to so many aspects of your outer life: your skin, your mental health, your immune system, the way you handle stress, the quality of your sleep… I could go on. So tell me now – just like when we feed our brains with negativity, bad news, and stress – it has an impact on how our brains work, do you not think that when our gut microbiome is being fed toxicity and out of wack – that it would not impact us? I have told people who prioritize work over health that you cannot work from a hospital bed or when you’re dead. You CAN NOT be successful and fulfilled when you are sick, sleep deprived, low energy, depressed, and overall not feeling or looking your best. You just can not. I have tried (and failed) for years. If you need energy to go out there and get a second income to change your financial future – how can you do that when you barely make I through the day as it is? If you get out of debt to have a better life and to help others, to travel, to spend time with your kids – how can you even do those things when you are sick? Prioritize your health. Fuel your body right. Make it a point to move your body. This perhaps is arguably the MOST important aspect of the trio, because once you discover the importance of gut health which include: fueling your body right,

EPISODE 29: PREPARING FOR IMPACT

5/20/2021
The last year really threw us all for a loop. It really put some things in perspective for me - even the fact that I was wholly unprepared for disaster. Are you prepared for impact? Because it's not an IF, but it's a WHEN. Those of us who have the luxury and are able; shouldn’t be giving our power away. Once we start radically taking personal responsibility for our own lives is the moment we can create our own reality. But that also means being responsible and learning how to prepare for impact. (And, by the way - when those of us who are able do this, we create *more* space for resources to go to those who are not.) Get motivated, and shift your mindset about how you prepare for impact. It might be time to rearrange some priorities! Like this episode? Please share! Instagram.com/monica.burgat www.monicaburgat.com

EPISODE 24- WHY I STARTED ACCEPTING MALE CLIENTS + WHAT I’VE LEARNED ABOUT MYSELF

2/1/2020
**New WEBSITE!: www.monicaburgat.com** From the conception of my business, I have been asked multiple times over the years if I accept male clients and I've always had the same answer - a hard and definite "No, never". But over the years I have began to reevaluate my thinking after being asked so many times; and then recently I was asked if my reasoning was coming from a valid place- or if it's coming from my own past experiences and limiting beliefs about working with men. This was a moment where I had to sit myself down and really evaluate if I was allowing these thoughts to continue to hold me back in my life (and business). In this episode I talk about how to constantly be having mental check-ins with yourself and your belief systems, and if they are still coming from a good place, or if it's time to evolve.

EPISODE 23: WHY HAVING A GROUP OF FEMALE FRIENDS IS IMPORTANT

1/16/2020
Y'ALL. This got nuts. It started out with me examining the hurt and betrayal that I've been through with women in the last 2 years, and it lead me to a conclusion (that then lead to more): The people who I was hurt by all had one thing in common - they didn't have a GOOD group of female friendships. (Two out of these three have told me this from their own mouths). It got me thinking a lot the last few weeks about how female friendships play a crucial role in our lives, and why they are so important. And then, we talked about the why women speaking badly about one another.... and I go off on a rant. Listen in to hear what I think and how it (once again) is super important that we own up to our shit, take personal responsibility, and DO BETTER.

EPISODE 22: HOW I CHANGED MY MINDSET ABOUT MY HEALTH

1/6/2020
NEW YEAR, NEW ME. Well, not quite y'all. You're still the same you. But I know with New Years resolutions comes lots of pressure to "get in shape", and "lose weight", but is that really how it's supposed to be? Take the DIET out of eating, and figure out what your body really needs! From bed ridden to abundant energy, what happened to snap me out of the mindset of needing to be a certain weight/size, and how I now view what I put in my mouth as a determination of wellness - or illness! Is what you're doing serving your body to help keep it healthy and well? Or is it on the fast track to illness, disease, and YUCK? When you start viewing your habits as health living and not just a number on a scale or your pant size, it takes on a whole new meaning- and is more motivating. Get out of that mindset of "dieting" for aesthetics, and do it for HEALTH. Let's continue this chat on Instagram: @monica.burgat www.the-freedom-guild.com Facebook Group: The Freedom Guild.

Mentioned in this Episode: - Ashley Anne IG @ashleyannecreates - Jenny Harris IG @coffeetalkandconcealerwalk - Tiffany Bettis FB @Blissful Abundance - Nicole Hatten IG @mrshatten I've realized I played it SUPER small and dimmed my light in 2019. How I realized this, what I did about it, and my encouragement to you. Mindset work is a constant journey, and you have to stay on top of it! I let myself slip into self doubt - not only in my personal life but in my business. I backed myself into a corner. Until I had several people reach out to me in the span of a month and restore my faith in my calling and what I KNEW I was meant to do. I was being borderline disrespectful to the people I am called to help by not being ME. Don't do what I did. Don't wait around for someone to give your permission or to validate you.

EPISODE 20: IS IT TOXIC? OR ARE YOU JUST INCONVENIENCED?

11/27/2019
I've been hearing a lot of hubalub this Holiday season about it being "draining" being around family - but what happened to compassion? Some of my best memories with my Gigi were "draining", but I did it anyway because guess what - lots of stuff in life is draining and inconvenient. (I don't know about you, but those darn kids can be exhausting -lol). And guess what? Those are some of my GREATEST memories. Sometimes, we just have to do it anyway. One, because sometimes that's just flat out being part of an adult... and two - because what are we REALLY bargaining for when we don't do the hard stuff? My other theory is this: we have gotten so into the buzz words lately of "self-care" and "aligned" and "the right energy", that we have almost created a sense of entitlement. We choose to bury our head in the sand, or just simply not show up so we don't have to "deal" with people or things. But we come across uncomfortable situations every single day, and it's what builds character- and often times create greatness. There ARE toxic situations where we are totally allowed to set boundaries and distance ourselves. But this episode might help you determine: Is it really so horribly draining that it's actually "toxic", or do we need to choose compassion in this instance? Better yet, how can YOU be the light to some difficult or hurting family members this season? Don't miss out on precious people, places, and things this Holiday season if you don't have to.

EPISODE 17: TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IS NOT SELFISH

9/8/2019
What is it that you need to do in this season of your life that is non-negotiable? Maybe it's a night out with girlfriends. Maybe it's going to live concerts regularly. Maybe it's going shopping. Whatever it is (within reason, and being mindful of your budget, of course) ALLOW yourself time and space to do it WITHOUT feeling guilty. We are better women, mothers, significant others, and business owners when we take time out for ourselves to do those things that we love. You cannot pour from an empty cup, so quit falling into the trap that doing things for yourself is "selfish". I call bullshit!
