The Real Reason You Can't Hold Wealth Yet: Self-Worth

"Wealth isn't something you chase. It's something you learn how to hold."
What if the reason abundance hasn't stuck isn't strategy — but capacity?

In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Christopher Mackin, a wealth advisor with over two decades of experience who bridges finance, spirituality, and planetary stewardship.

After a life-altering spiritual awakening in Sedona and a chance meeting on a private island retreat in Belize, Christopher introduces a radically different way to think about money, success, and abundance. He challenges traditional manifestation culture and explains why rooted wealth creates fulfillment — while unrooted wealth often leaves even the most successful people feeling empty.

As Christopher puts it:
"You can build wealth from a rooted place—or an unrooted place. One creates fulfillment. The other creates lack, no matter how much you have."

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• why most money mindset work fails at the identity level

• how self-worth determines how much wealth you allow yourself to receive

• the difference between fast money and sustainable wealth

• why regulation, not hustle, is the foundation of abundance

• how giving, play, and service activate true prosperity

And yes — Christopher delivers one of the most unforgettable lines of the episode:
"Putting manifestation on top of unhealed patterns is like putting whipped cream on poop."

If you've ever made money but still felt "off," burned out, or disconnected… this episode will resonate deeply. Christopher reframes wealth as WELLTH — a holistic state of abundance rooted in purpose, balance, community, and conscious stewardship.

"Most people don't have a money problem. They have a relationship-with-money problem."
"You can make money fast—but without internal capacity, you'll lose it just as fast."

This is not a conversation about getting rich quick.
It's about becoming the kind of person who can hold, steward, and expand abundance with integrity.

Confidence, Clarity, and the Numbers Behind a Healthy Business

Money is one of the biggest sources of stress for entrepreneurs and yet, it doesn't have to be. If the words cash flow, financials, or numbers make you want to look the other way, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Today on GRASP Confidence, we're reframing the entire conversation around money, leadership, and freedom.

Josh Greenbaum is a founder, advisor, and author who has made it his mission to help entrepreneurs build financially healthy businesses—without spreadsheets, shame, or jargon. Through his book Numbers Scare Me & Other Excuses, his advisory firm CFO Minded, and his upcoming Replaceable program, Josh is changing how founders relate to money. Instead of seeing numbers as overwhelming or intimidating, he helps leaders use them as a tool for clarity, confidence, and better decision-making.

In this conversation, Josh breaks down why most founders struggle with money—not because they're bad at math, but because they were never taught how to think about numbers in a way that supports the life they actually want to live.

You'll learn how to move from financial avoidance to financial ownership, how to turn "messy" numbers into clear leadership decisions, and why understanding your finances is one of the most empowering confidence shifts you can make as a business owner. This episode is especially powerful for entrepreneurs who are tired of running businesses that feel heavy, confusing, or misaligned and are ready for simplicity, clarity, and freedom.

If you want to build a business that supports your life (not the other way around), this episode will change how you see money—and yourself as a leader.
