Shownotes

What I’ve seen, again and again, working with highly successful, world-class women is that what makes you feel truly prosperous is rarely just what’s in your bank account.

It’s how you relate to your experience of being a steward of wealth and how you create wealth, circulate it, hold it, and the internal experience you’re having while doing so.

If you’ve built success, yet money still feels heavy, this episode gives you a first, perfect taste of how things shift when you align with your unique energetic design. Because when your inner world catches up, wealth starts to feel lighter, softer, and more easeful…more you!

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

1. Prosperity Is About Relationship, Not Revenue

True prosperity isn’t just accumulation. It’s how you create, circulate, hold, and internally relate to wealth.

2. What Most Money Advice Misses

Save. Invest. Diversify. Scale. These strategies can be sound. But they rarely ask: why does money feel heavy for you? What expands one woman can deplete another.

We each have a specific energetic frequency for how we create and experience wealth. When you operate outside that frequency, money feels effortful or never enough.


3. Your Gene Keys Money Code

Inside your Gene Keys blueprint is a placement I call the Money Code. It reveals what makes wealth feel light versus heavy for you specifically. It shows how you’re designed to receive, circulate, and structure money.


Practical Takeaways:


• Notice when money feels heavy. Is it the strategy or is it misalignment with your design?

• Identify what actually makes you feel prosperous. Simplicity? Impact? Celebration? Something else entirely?

• Refine one financial structure in your life to better reflect your energetic frequency. Small shifts create immediate lightness.

Welcome to Elevate Daily, the podcast for those ready to elevate their life one intentional day at a time. I'm your host, Alexia Usgaard, here to give you a permission slip to unapologetically savour the beauty and richness of life. Join me as we explore modern rituals, self-leadership, the Gene Keys, and the art of elevating your health, wealth, love, and leadership. It's time to elevate. Let's dive in.

Hello, hello, and welcome back to Elevate Daily.

I'm Alexia Usgaard, and I'm so enthused to have you here for today's conversation, where I'm going to start off by naming something I've seen over and over again with highly successful women. They can have the successful business, they can have the profitable revenue streams, they can have the diversified wealth portfolio, and still, in all honesty, find that their experience of money feels heavy. They can feel like financial decisions feel coded in stress and maybe even tension.

They can feel this undercurrent fear of losing it all. They can feel this insatiable feeling like they just need more and more and more, and overarchingly, there can be this energetic where they just feel a bit of a charge around their experience of money. It can be confusing because they've done everything right.

They've gotten the financial support. They've been raising their prices. They've been diversifying their portfolio, yet the heaviness isn't lifting.

That's what we're going to get into today, is what is causing that heaviness and how you can actually transform your relationship with money so that your wealth experience feels easeful, feels light, and more than anything, feels pleasurable. So what I've seen working with highly successful world-class women is your experience of feeling prosperous is rarely linked to just what's in your bank account. It's connected to how you relate to being a steward of wealth, how you create wealth, how you circulate your wealth, how you hold wealth, your internal experience of wealth.

This is what most money advice misses entirely. It focusses on save more, invest, diversify, scale, and while these strategies can be sound, they aren't asking this question. Why does your experience of money feel heavy for you? Because here's the truth.

What feels resourcing for one person can feel like pressure for another person. What feels expansive for one person can feel depleting for another, and that's because we all are designed with a specific energetic frequency of how we are here to lead as stewards of wealth, how we're here to create, how we're here to circulate, how we're here to hold, how we're here to cultivate wealth. And when you're not operating from that frequency, money will always feel heavy.

It can always feel like it's depleting you, and it always can feel efforting rather than feel like it's in bounty, that it brings a sense of ease and that it brings a sense of that exhale, that relaxation of fully feeling embodied in who you are and what you're showing up to create with. So to know your specific energetic frequency, I love to look at your gene keys and to see in your blueprint a very specific placement that I call your money code, because your money code reveals what supports you with having an experience of money that's light versus heavy.

How do you receive and attract wealth in a way that's very natural and very easeful for you? How do you experience money and wealth from an energetic, a feeling at peace within yourself and just feeling like it just is flowing with so much support and exhale.

And this is where I find so much money advice fails us, is it doesn't take into account our design, our unique design and relationship with money. But when you know your money code, then you have a lot of crystal clarity on exactly how you were uniquely designed to connect to money, to relate to prosperity, to see yourself as a wealth steward, which then gives you a key code into understanding what is the best way to design your wealth creation, your wealth portfolio, your business model, and all the ways in which you consciously choose to circulate wealth. So that way you really get to have joy in the experience and really feel relaxed in your experience of it, rather than finding yourself feeling that sense of depletion, rather than finding yourself caught in that trap of feeling like no matter how much you have, it never quite feels like you can really fully land.

And so I'm going to share with you some specific examples. So I'm going to first share an example of how I've experienced this in my own blueprint. So for myself, and actually it's quite interesting because my husband shares this essence as part of his money code, is that for both of us, simplicity is essential for us to feel wealthy.

And so for us, if we have financial resources and a financial structure that's too complex, that has so many moving parts, and that feels like it needs our constant attention, no matter how much we're accumulating, it will feel heavy. And so for us, it's been really powerful to realise that what makes us feel prosperous is keeping things simple. So we have the spaciousness to focus on creating.

The two of us love to create, to use resources, to circulate resources for the act and service of creation. And so for us, this has looked like us being very intentional about our business models, to keep things refined, to keep things very quality over quantity orientated. So that way we can have less moving parts and less complexity and can really keep it grounded and an energetic of simplicity.

So again, we can feel joy in the ways in which our resources are moving, circulating and being used for creation. For one of my clients, a key essential part of her money code is that what makes her feel nourished by her wealth and resource is the ways in which it's linked to philanthropy. In the ways in which she feels that she is impacting and elevating the lives of others.

So for her, if she had a business model, a business structure that yes, could be incredibly profitable, but if she doesn't have a direct connection with knowing how the resources she's accumulating are circulating and elevating people that she cares about projects she cares about, it would likely feel empty for her that she would find that no matter how much she was bringing in, she wouldn't get that feeling of deep relaxation and deep joy. And I've seen that a lot in her experience is that she, you can see lights up talking about naming the ways in which she's impacting the lives of others through the resources that she intentionally creates as a wealth steward. And then the last example I'll give is that for another client, a key aspect to her money code is celebration.

So for her, she lives for the joy of utilising and circulating her resources to create meaningful experiences. She's the one that she could go and she could be meeting achievement after achievement, but if she's not taking intentional space to really celebrate with people she cares about, she's the one I watch who creates amazing experiences for her team where they get to really all together celebrate what they're creating, the ways in which they're all growing because that experience of celebrating is how she feels connected to the energy that she's naturally circulating through her wealth and resource. And that helps her to feel really alive in her experience as a wealth steward.

So can you see how each of these have very specific frequencies, very specific lenses through which how they see themselves and what they find deepest joy in their experience of money and wealth? When you design wealth around your money code, things shift so quickly. Money decisions become easier. Your relationship with money starts to feel softer and more gentle and just much more relaxed.

You find that you're not stressing so much and worrying so much all the time. You keep things much more refined. It's often not about going and like burning everything down.

I'm all about those simple refinements that make everything feel elevated. And oftentimes the biggest thing is you also stop focussing on financial strategies, revenue streams, business model structures, things that actually weren't designed specifically for you. Yes, they might be working for someone else, but for you, they actually can be what creates a lot of stalling, a lot of heaviness, and actually create more burden than actual bounty specifically for you.

And so when you do this, wealth creation just becomes so much more enjoyable and so much more in flow because the resources you're creating, the resources that you're attracting, the resources that you're receiving feel deeply aligned with the life that you feel most aligned with on a soul level. And so if this conversation resonated with you, if you're recognising that despite your success that you have created, money still feels heavy, or maybe you just have this deep feeling that there is a more easeful way that you're meant to be doing it, here's what I just want to say and reiterate. This isn't something that I find will often be fixed with another strategy.

I find that no matter how much you try to fix your business model, you try to fix your next revenue stream, the next diversification of your portfolio, the truth is you can't optimise your way out of a design mismatch. And this is something that I deeply care about is you really being in alignment with your unique energetic frequency, your unique energetic architecture so you can actually enjoy the experience of stewarding your wealth. And in my signature experience Illuminate, one of the key things we decode is your money code.

So your specific design for creating, receiving, and stewarding wealth in a way that actually feels good in your body, that makes it feel so delicious and nourishing. And as I've shared, when you understand that code, so much elevates in your life, so much becomes lighter. And more than anything, money decisions and your experience of money can finally feel like there's not that charge, that feeling of depletion around it.

And so if you feel the resonance, I'd love to invite you to explore Illuminate in my show notes. It would be an absolute honour to walk with you and to decode your money code with you. And as always, thank you for being here and for being you.
