About this listen

 If you’ve ever believed that wealth was “not for someone like you,” this episode will change everything. This week on The Sovereign Shift, Chelsea sits down with real estate revolutionary, TEDx speaker, and former social worker Mel Dorman, whose life's work dismantles the biggest lie women have been sold: 👉 that financial freedom is reserved for the wealthy, privileged, perfectly-credentialed few. Mel’s story is unbelievable—except it’s real. From teaching orphans in Uganda, to working in psych wards and jails, to supporting women escaping sex trafficking in India… Mel spent her early life serving the margins. But everything changed when her father developed Alzheimer’s and her family suddenly needed $7,000/month for his care—with no plan, no safety net, and no financial literacy to lean on. What Mel did next became a blueprint for financial sovereignty: She quit her job, studied real estate between inmate intakes, bought her first property for $500 out of pocket, and went on to build 34 rental units in five years—all using the method she now teaches: ✨ Seller Financing — a community-driven wealth transfer model that bypasses the banks, returns power to everyday people, and keeps money where it belongs: in communities, not corporations. In this conversation we go deep into: 🔥 The Sovereignty Themes Why traditional “love and light” spiritual bypassing keeps women brokeHow financial instability creates nervous system dysregulationWhy seller financing is the most ethical, community-centered wealth model you’ve never heard ofHow patriarchal conditioning shows up as money blocks, perfectionism, and fear of visibilityWhy wealth-building isn’t capitalist—it’s self-care, self-respect, and self-sovereignty 🔥 The Wealth Disruption Pieces How seller financing works (and why the banks don’t want you to know about it)Why Boomers are the key to the next wave of ethical wealth transferHow to buy real estate with little or no money downThe truth about amortization and why your mortgage is designed to keep you paying foreverWhy the “American Dream” is dead—and what’s replacing it 🔥 The Personal Transformation Mel opens up about: Coming out after growing up in a conservative Christian environmentReleasing the fear of being seen—for who she is and for the wealth she now buildsHow queerness became the foundation of her financial sovereigntyHow choosing herself changed everything 🔥 If you’re someone who… grew up financially illiteratefeels behind, unprepared, or unworthy of wealthwants to build a business but feels trapped by money stresswants to participate in the economy without feeding billionairesfeels called to sovereignty but doesn’t know where to begin …then this episode is your turning point. 👑 Mel’s mission is simple: Transfer wealth out of the billionaire class and back into the hands of everyday people—especially women. And after this conversation, you’ll believe it’s possible too.
