In this podcourse episode, we are joined by Melanie Evans, a Spanish bilingual SLP (Pediatric Speech Sister) and certified master mindset coach, discusses how SLPs’ money mindset—shaped largely by subconscious beliefs and nervous system “safety” responses—affects income and career choices.

Melanie explains her “navigator” (conscious mind), “program” (subconscious), and “gatekeeper” (nervous system) model, and how scarcity beliefs, attachment styles, adverse experiences, and burnout can drive avoidance of negotiation, staying in misaligned roles, or overworking in entrepreneurship.

She emphasizes aligning goals with purpose/values, building financial literacy, tracking rhythms, delegating, and taking values-aligned action to reframe success to include abundance and equity.

Melanie shares resources, research references, and ways to connect, including The Abundant CEO and free mindset tools.
