What if financial planning wasn’t about chasing a number—but about designing a life that actually feels aligned?

In this episode of The FitZen Project, I’m joined by Mike Milligan, author, Certified Financial Planner®, and Founder of 1 Oak Financial—a firm dedicated to helping pre-retirees and new retirees build intentional, values-driven financial futures.

As part of the FitZen Regulation Series, this conversation explores financial regulation through the lens of conscious leadership. Mike challenges the traditional obsession with “Return on Investment” and instead introduces a more grounded, human approach he calls “Return on Life.”

We talk about money as energy, clarity, and stewardship—and how financial decisions are deeply influenced by the nervous system, self-trust, and personal values. Rather than chasing a generic number or timeline, Mike shares how to design a financial plan that supports your unique life purpose, seasons, and capacity.

In this episode, we explore:

• Financial regulation and why calm creates better money decisions
• The shift from Return on Investment to Return on Life
• Money as energy management, not j

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Rachel Fitzpatrick sits down with Deepak Chari, a biofeedback engineer and healer whose work blends technology, voice frequency, and emotional intelligence to help people relieve anxiety, clear subconscious patterns, and create lasting transformation.

Deepak shares his personal journey—from childhood bullying and an engineering career to pioneering a healing approach rooted in biofeedback and voice technology. Together, they explore how emotional imprinting from the womb, early childhood, and parental relationships shapes adult behavior, relationships, and self-worth.

This episode dives deep into the science and intuition behind emotional healing, generational trauma, and the “quantum leaps” that occur when limiting beliefs are identified and cleared. Deepak also shares real-life success stories from clients who have experienced profound changes in their relationships, confidence, health, and opportunities.

If you’re curious about how your voice, subconscious mind, and emotional history influence the life you’re living today—and how to access unlimited possibilities—this conversation is a must-listen.

In this powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with Bill Goodwin, author of Priority Living: Seven Pillars to Make Your Life Count, to explore intentional living, personal growth, and the deeper purpose behind how we spend our time, energy, and attention.

Bill shares the life-changing experience that led him to develop the Seven Pillars of Priority Living—a framework designed to help people stop merely accepting their lives and start leading them with clarity and intention. Together, they unpack what it means to live with purpose, create impact, cultivate meaningful connection, embrace generosity, and build a legacy that extends beyond personal success.

This episode challenges the hustle-driven mindset of “doing more” and instead invites listeners into a rhythm of being, growth, exploration, and contribution. If you’ve ever felt called to slow down, realign your priorities, or pursue a life rooted in significance rather than achievement, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
