What happens when a middle child with chronic pain creates a feminist retail empire? You get Woman-Owned Wallet – a movement that's part store, part media company, and full-on economic revolution.

Welcome to the season six finale where founder Amanda Dare takes the mic solo to reveal major transformations ahead. After closing WOW Factor Collective and weathering ongoing construction challenges at the storefront, Amanda shares her vision for WOW's future: a YouTube series spotlighting woman-owned businesses across America. Think of it as the feminist answer to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives – a travel show mapping the incredible entrepreneurs who deserve your dollars.

But this evolution isn't just about business. Amanda bravely recounts her decades-long health battle that culminated in recent surgery for endometriosis, a condition affecting one in ten women yet chronically underdiagnosed and understudied. Through tearful reflection, she connects her personal healing journey with WOW's mission of creating safe, feminine spaces where women's experiences are validated rather than dismissed. The serendipitous moment when a gynecologist shopping in her store finally pointed her toward diagnosis perfectly illustrates why community matters – we solve problems together that we can't solve alone.

The episode also includes a bittersweet announcement about COO Adrienne's departure after nearly seven years of partnership, plus Amanda's reading of her recent Force Magazine article outlining how WOW is building economic power for women through "funny financial feminism." From guided tours and podcasts to an upcoming children's book starring Penny the piggy bank, Amanda reveals how putting money in women's wallets creates ripple effects throughout communities.

When Candice handed a woman tampons outside a store and saw the immediate relief wash over her face, she couldn't stop wondering: what do people experiencing homelessness do when they get their periods? That question sparked a revolutionary nonprofit that's challenging how we address period poverty.

Candice and Raina, co-founders of For Ladies' Sake, join us to share how their organization is fighting period poverty through three powerful channels: education, legislation, and accessibility. What began as one woman "slinging pads out of the back of her Volkswagen" transformed into a structured nonprofit when Raina gifted Candice the incorporation paperwork as a wedding present—possibly the most meaningful wedding gift in history.

The stories they share are both heartbreaking and inspiring. From advocating at Menstrual Equity Lobby Day to providing over 900 people with period products in their first full year, these women are dismantling stigma one conversation at a time. Their innovative "period pods"—similar to Little Free Libraries but filled with menstrual products—will soon provide 24/7 access in neighborhoods with the greatest need.

Perhaps most striking is how For Ladies' Sake approaches conversations about periods with everyone from reluctant men to curious teenagers. They've created safe spaces where people can ask questions, express concerns, and learn about menstrual health without judgment. As they beautifully demonstrate, period poverty isn't just a women's issue—it's a human dignity issue that affects entire communities.

What happens when you pair a financial conversation with deep spiritual healing? Magic unfolds as Amanda Dare welcomes Brie (Brekita) Goodwin, a spiritual consultant whose approach to money transcends traditional advice by going straight to the soul.

Brie doesn't just talk about money—she reveals how our relationship with ourselves shapes everything about our financial reality. Through her work with candle-making workshops aligned with moon cycles, she creates spaces where people can reconnect with their intuition and true desires. As she explains, "We're not just building a candle. We're learning how to trust our intuition through this process."

The conversation takes unexpected turns as Brie shares her personal journey that began in 2015 when she packed up everything and moved to Louisville. This bold step allowed her to question inherited beliefs about money, love, and purpose. "I had to identify what was mine and what was not mine," she explains, revealing how this self-discovery process transformed her relationship with abundance.

One of the most powerful moments comes when Brie distinguishes between discipline and devotion in our financial practices. "Fuck discipline," she says candidly. "When you can create habits out of devotion, you now are living a life of reverence." This shift from punishment to love creates sustainable financial behaviors rooted in self-worth rather than external validation.

Throughout their heartfelt exchange, both women share vulnerable moments of realization—from Amanda's therapeutic journey to Brie's practice of holding "board meetings" with different versions of herself. Their laughter, tears, and profound insights create a roadmap for listeners seeking financial abundance through authentic self-connection.

Ready to transform your relationship with money by healing your relationship with yourself? This episode offers more than tips—it provides a spiritual framework for understanding that "abundance is everywhere. We are taught to restrict it." Discover how releasing that restriction might be the key to your financial breakthrough.
