Welcome back to the Health in Wealth™ podcast.

I’m Ana Ramos, and as always, I’m grateful to share this space with you.

As we move through life — our careers, our ambitions, our daily responsibilities — it’s so easy to forget the one practice that can change everything: gratitude.
Not the gratitude we write on lists or rush through at the end of the day…
but the gratitude we embody — the kind that softens our nervous system, expands our perspective, and shifts the energy with which we meet the world.

Today's guest is someone who understands this deeply, and she is proof that even the most technical fields are made richer by heart, intention and presence.

Dalene Deale is a fintech strategist, regulatory specialist, and the founder of Business Growth Hacking. She brings big-picture clarity to complex systems, and her work influences some of South Africa’s most important digital identity and financial frameworks.

But what I find most inspiring about Dalene is not just her mind — it’s her humanity.
She is a high achiever who has learned to channel her ADHD, her lived experiences, and her unstoppable curiosity into a life filled with meaning, creativity, and purpose.

Today, we’ll explore how gratitude has shaped her path — how it supports achievement, expands resilience, anchors focus, and transforms the way we experience both our inner and outer worlds.

So take a breath…
Settle in…
And let’s explore the power of gratitude in a life lived fully, purposefully, and with a deep connection to wealth-being.

Hi everyone, and welcome back to the Health in Wealth® podcast. I’m Ana Ramos, and I’m so grateful you’re here.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the quiet moments that shape us… the ones that remind us to pause, breathe, and come back home to ourselves.

In a world that moves so quickly, the breath is one of the few things that’s always with us — a constant invitation back into presence, safety, and flow.

And that’s what today’s conversation is about. I’m joined by someone whose work inspires me deeply… Jennifer Furter, the founder of Breathing Room, whose approach to breathwork is as grounding as it is expansive.

Jennifer has a gift for helping people reconnect to the wisdom already living inside them. Her work shows us that breath is not just a physiological act — it is an energetic reset, a doorway into creativity, clarity, and gratitude.

So, take a deep, slow breath… Settle into your body… And let’s begin.

Hi, and welcome back to Health in Wealth®. I’m Ana Ramos — and I’m so happy you’re here.

When our body, mindset, and mission move in rhythm, wealth stops being something we chase — and becomes a natural expression of truth.

Today, we’re going to explore where that truth begins.

Because before we build careers, brands, or even bank accounts — we begin building stories. The stories we hear, the ones we live, and the ones quietly written into our bodies as children.

Our relationship with money starts long before we realise it. It begins with how we’re taught to share, to give, to wait, to receive. It begins with how our parents speak about enoughness, effort, and value. And those early experiences often become the blueprint for how we experience wealth as adults.

My guest today understands this deeply. Matena Valverde is a physiotherapist and neurodevelopment specialist based in Mexico City and the founder of Clínica Luli.

For over three decades, she’s worked with children and families — helping them grow not just physically strong, but emotionally aware and connected.

Together, we explore how our earliest money stories are formed — and how we can guide the next generation to build stories rooted in safety, curiosity, and abundance. And maybe, in doing so, we’ll uncover the lessons we needed to hear as children, too.

So, take a breath, open your heart, and let’s rediscover how the stories we tell our children can transform the way we all experience wealth-being.

Welcome to the Health in Wealth™ podcast. You are exactly where you need to be.
