In this episode of The Finance Cafe Podcast, we are joined by Rachael Hunt, the Founder & CEO of Freedom School Co. and an Intuitive Indigenous Mentor & Healer. Rachael, a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nations, shares her expertise on breaking generational cycles, especially in the context of money and women entrepreneurship.

Rachael discusses the subconscious patterns that many women inherit around money, which often do not serve our best interests in today's world. She delves into how these cycles can limit financial growth and personal well-being, and emphasizes the importance of shifting these patterns for long-term prosperity.

Drawing from her Indigenous background, Rachael explores how mindset and intergenerational healing play a crucial role in achieving financial wellness and peace. She highlights the need for women to recognize and confront these inherited beliefs in order to create a healthier relationship with money.

In this episode, Rachael also emphasizes the importance of awareness and self-reflection. Change, she explains, must come from within, and building this awareness is a key factor in breaking free from old patterns. Achieving financial neutrality—where one no longer resists or repels money—is a vital step in establishing a peaceful and supportive relationship with finances.

Tune in to this inspiring conversation to learn how breaking cycles and embracing a healthier mindset can lead to greater financial success, business growth, and personal empowerment.
