Mikelann Valterra is a financial psychologist and author who helps women transform their relationship with money to create a life they love. 

My biggest takeaway from this conversation was that the more you know about your spending, the less you will have to think about money. If you get clear on exactly where your money is going, and then decide what is most important to you, you can create a life where you get everything you need, don't waste money on things you don't care about, and actually think about money less.

What a blessing that would be, right?  

She combines emotional intelligence with practical money strategies help her clients feel in control of the money, while escaping financial stress and anxiety.

We talk about how to get control of your money, the importance of having a passion that brings you joy (hers is Argentine tango), why opposite money personalities tend to partner up, and so much more.

I was surprised by this interview so many times: Dry farming with no electricity—what?Founding said farm at 16, and sticking with it for 23 years? Colon cancer diagnosis at 37, and beating the odds with a full recovery, thank heavens. Oh, and gray hair at 18!

Jennifer Lee Segale is a professional botanist and founder of Wildflower Farms, an organic landscape design and consulting company specializing in coastal plantings, edible gardens, habitat restoration and unique plant sourcing. She has a rich background in farming and plant propagation, and her design and consulting services focus on plant and soil care.

The farm's no-till, dry-farmed medicinal herbs also supply Segale's skincare and wellness brand Garden Apothecary, with two storefronts in Half Moon Bay, CA. 

"Garden Apothecary is really set apart from other brands by our growing of ingredients and making everything in-house," she says. "We really try to come from the plant's perspective, with gentle growing techniques and minimal harvesting—thus being able to offer unique and sustainable products, with a lot of integrity behind them."

Jenn lives by the beach with her husband, two step-children, piles of books and her two sweet dogs, Sorrel and Oolong.
