Elizabeth Faye | Breaking Free from Money Trauma & Hustle Culture

Welcome back to MONEYO2! Today’s episode features Elizabeth Faye, founder of The Vitality Project and Hair Love University, a former hairdresser turned healer, trauma-informed life coach, and creator of the beauty industry’s first workplace wellness program.

In an era defined by burnout and hustle culture, Elizabeth shares her powerful journey from relentless hustling that led to a health collapse to discovering a balanced approach to success and wealth. Her guiding philosophy? “Show me how easy it is” — an experiment that completely transformed her relationship with money, work, and self-worth.

Throughout this episode, Elizabeth offers essential insights on the difference between using hustle as a tool versus making it a lifestyle, how childhood money trauma shapes our money mindset, and the importance of nervous system regulation and breathwork to create a sense of safety around money. She also explores breaking generational scarcity patterns and explains why “ease is a state, not a destination” on your wealth journey. Plus, she highlights the power of asking different questions to create different results.

Elizabeth shares her personal story and practical guidance for building success without sacrificing wellbeing — including a guided breathwork meditation designed to transform your money mindset.
