95% of Money Mindset Is Energetic: Rewriting Scarcity with Yinka Ewuola

What really holds women back from building wealth and ease not only for themselves, but for generations and communities? Can your beliefs, inherited narratives, and emotional relationship with money secretly dictate your financial reality? How can reframing the act of receiving and redefining generosity set you (and others) free?
In this powerful episode of Embodied, Anthea Bell is joined by leading cash flow strategist Yinka Ewuola for a conversation that explores the energetic, psychological, and systemic landscape women face around money. Yinka Ewuola shares her journey from “Little Lagos” in London, working in investment banking, to becoming a sought-after mentor for women breaking generational patterns and rewriting the script on abundance. It’s not just about spreadsheets, it's about identity, belonging, ancestral stories, and the bravery it takes to step beyond inherited scarcity.
