In this episode of Growing Money with Sean Trace, I sit down with financial advisor and life planner Justin Castelli to talk about what it really means to live an authentic life and align your money with who you actually are. We get into intuition, synchronicity, manifestation and the law of attraction, but in a grounded way that still respects real world financial planning, budgets and cash flow. Justin shares how he shifted from traditional retirement and investment planning into life planning, helping clients define their purpose, values and vision first, then building the financial plan around that. I open up about my own story, my dad’s health scare, moving to Vietnam, surviving scams, being super woo woo, and how money as energy and strong money habits gave me the freedom to start multiple podcasts and build a media company for my family. We talk about money mindset, expanding income instead of only cutting expenses, why survival mode blocks intuition, how to balance spirituality and wealth, why your net worth will never exceed your self worth, and how to use side hustles and passion projects without needing to quit your day job tomorrow. If you care about financial freedom, purpose, and becoming the most authentic version of yourself while still paying the bills, this conversation will hit you right in the soul and your money life.
