The Conscious Investor

In this episode of the Conscious Investor podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Devana Came, who has a deep passion for co-living and specializes in sober living environments. Devana's personal journey into this field was inspired by her family’s experiences with addiction and the heartbreaking loss of a loved one to a heroin overdose. She shared how these experiences fueled her mission to create supportive, safe, and structured homes for individuals in recovery. Now on the verge of opening her fourth house, Devana explains how her model is focused on providing a compassionate, community-based environment where residents can rebuild their lives. During our conversation, Devana dove into the specifics of how her sober living homes operate, from daily routines to the unique challenges and rewards of managing multiple residents in recovery. She also opened up about the importance of connection and accountability in overcoming addiction, highlighting the personal and professional systems she has in place to ensure a clean, supportive environment. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how passion and purpose can intersect in business, especially in such a meaningful and impactful way.

In this episode of the Conscious Investor Podcast, I dive deep into the emotional cycle of change and how we can push through the challenging moments—especially when we hit that "trough of despair." I share some personal insights on my own journey of feeling like I wasn’t a "high performer" and how I overcame that by realizing I’m not in competition with anyone else. Each of us is uniquely created with our own DNA, and that means no one else can be you. Whether you’re pursuing real estate, personal development, or any other path, it’s time to embrace your uniqueness and stop comparing yourself to others. I also talk about moving into what I call "informed optimism," a shift that happens after we push through the tough times and gain confidence in our abilities. It’s not about being better than someone else; it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. Conscious Investor, you don’t have to beat anyone else—just take those steps forward, trust your journey, and find joy in the process of becoming who you were created to be.

In this episode of The Conscious Investor, I dive deep into the journey of restoring joy in the midst of life's challenges. Conscious Investor, with all the uncertainty in the world—whether it's political, economic, or personal—it can feel like joy is slipping away. Drawing from my own experiences, I share how I realized I had lost my sense of joy and how I reclaimed it through three transformative practices: taking a "mental vacation," staying in my lane, and embracing life as an adventure, rather than feeling pressured to always be the expert. By incorporating these practices—inviting intentional rest, surrendering control, and viewing life as an opportunity for exploration and curiosity—you, Conscious Investor, can rediscover that deep, anchored joy that persists regardless of external circumstances.

Welcome back, or welcome to the Conscious Investor podcast! In this episode, Finding Rest in Routines, I dive into the importance of ensuring our routines serve us, rather than enslave us. As high achievers, it's easy to feel the pressure to stick to rigid schedules, but Conscious Investor, sometimes the best thing we can do is allow ourselves the space to rest.

As we step into a new season, it’s the perfect time to reassess your routines and ensure they are adding freedom and balance to your life. I hope this episode encourages you to invite rest and intention into your routines, creating a more peaceful and productive path forward.

Have you ever wondered if your morning routine is doing more harm than good? In this episode, I dive deep into the world of morning routines and challenge the notion that they are the ultimate key to peace and success. While routines can provide a solid framework to start our day, they are not the source of true peace. I share my personal journey of shifting from a rigid, all-or-nothing approach to a more flexible and intuitive routine that better serves my life today. I also discuss the importance of having a deeper foundation that goes beyond external practices. What happens when life throws you a curveball that your morning routine can't fix? I invite you to explore what truly grounds you in those turbulent moments. For me, it's my faith and a constant exploration of my beliefs. I encourage you to ask yourself: what do I believe in that is bigger than me? Lastly, I’m thrilled to announce the Conscious Investor Growth Summit 2025, happening March 6-9 at the beautiful Coeur d'Alene Resort. This event will be a unique opportunity for deep connection, personal growth, and learning from some of the best minds in investing and personal development.
