Last week, I shared my journey with trading stocks. That’s all because a good friend introduced me to Teri Ijeoma back in 2022. Teri has made $1 million in a day in the stock market (multiple times) and has the #1 course on Teachable. Not only is she an amazing businesswoman, she’s an incredible teacher. I’m so lucky to have learned from her.  Lucky for you, Teri graciously agreed to come on Hustle & Flow to share with you her story of building wealth and why we all need to have this financial skillset.  Tune in now and then be sure to sign up for Teri’s upcoming Take Your First Trade Challenge at http://www.HeatherJoyHubbard.com/Trade.  As a student and beneficiary of Teri’s teachings, I happily agreed to be an affiliate partner. That means if you sign up for her programs through my link, I earn a commission. I rarely promote other products or programs and wouldn’t promote Teri if I didn’t deeply believe in her work.       Chapters 00:29 - Introduction to Teri Ijeoma  03:51 - How Teri got started investi

I’ve not told too many people this, but I’m finally starting to share that I’m a full-time day-trader. Never in a million years would I have thought that would be my profession. It wasn’t something I planned. It kind of just happened.  During my health sabbatical, I needed a way to distract my mind and make money without having to be public-facing. So, I decided to learn how to trade stocks. Fast forward 18-months, and I’m a professional full-time trader. Yes, I still have the podcast and lead retreats, but trading stocks has provided me more freedom and flexibility in prioritizing what brings me the most joy. In today’s Hustle & Flow episode, I’m sharing why I love trading so much, why I think everyone needs this skillset, and how you can start making short-term investments even as a busy professional. Chapters 00:29 - Introduction to short-term trading  05:01 - Learning about investments growing up  11:35 - How I stumbled into day trading 16:01 - Overview of what it means to day trade 19:29 - Taxes on s

After living with the debilitating side effects of long COVID for years, Kelly Ruta has been forced to embrace a new identity that isn't focused solely on hustle and ambition, but one that allows more ease and flow for her health.  Regardless of whether you're dealing with a health issue, I think we can all understand the concept that your business is only as healthy as you are. From growing teams, being more visible, and making more money, Kelly shares the most common issues she sees tripping up intelligent, high-achieving women, and why hustling harder is rarely the answer.  Chapters 00:29 - Meet Kelly Ruta  02:00 - From practicing clinician to entrepreneur  06:00 - How long COVID changed her life and business 10:13 - Stepping back and making a comeback 15:16 - Your business is only as healthy as you are 19:26 - Business growth requires personal growth 23:30 - Biggest mindset issues that trip up high-achievers 29:57 - Feeling unsafe + inadequate = bottleneck issues 36:17 - Connect with Kelly Ruta   To stay

I have a love/hate relationship with phrases like "everything happens for a reason" and "it's happening for you." In many ways, I think they're dismissive. But, I also know they've totally helped me come out of dark places. In today’s Hustle & Flow podcast episode, I’m sharing when and how to embrace these types of thoughts (even if you don't truly believe them) so that you can find the strength and motivation to move forward. If you've been struggling lately in any area of your life or business, this episode is for you! Chapters 00:29 - Introduction  01:55 - Why I don't like this phrase  03:36 - The placebo effect 04:51 - My struggles over the last 3 years 09:27 - Suffering is part of the human experience 15:15 - Choosing a better story  27:18 - Use the reframes that help you   Want insider access and perks?
