    Jan 27 2026
    In this deeply expansive episode of The Wellthy CEO, Shae Invidiata is joined by spiritual mentor and transformational architect Michael Edwards for a powerful conversation on self-mastery, authenticity, and what comes after external success. Designed for high achievers and conscious leaders, this episode explores why “not enoughness” is often stored in the nervous system rather than the mind, how reality mirrors our internal state, and why creating space is essential for clarity, intuition, and aligned growth.

Together, Shae and Michael dive into presence, intuition, boundaries, and the often-overlooked power of saying no. This conversation bridges the material and the spiritual, offering grounded wisdom for those who have mastered achievement but are now seeking peace, purpose, and authentic power. If you’re navigating burnout, success fatigue, or a deeper calling toward alignment and abundance, this episode offers insight, language, and lived experience to support your next evolution. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why authenticity is the gateway to true successHow consciousness levels shape your reality and resultsThe real source of “not enoughness” and how to release itWhy space and stillness unlock intuition and guidanceThe balance of masculine and feminine energy in leadershipHow flow creates opportunities logic can’t predictWhy saying no is a strategic and spiritual actHow presence transforms business, motherhood, and lifeMoving from force to power in how you create and lead About Michael Edwards: Michael Edwards is a transformational architect and spiritual mentor for post-success leaders. His work bridges the material world and consciousness, guiding visionaries to dismantle performance-driven identity and return to essence.

  • 081 - Why 2026 is a year for intentionality and co-creating with God

    081 - Why 2026 is a year for intentionality and co-creating with God
    Jan 7 2026

    As we step into 2026, this powerful solo episode is a call to intentional living.

    Shae Invidiata invites you to pause, reflect, and consciously choose the direction of your next decade. This isn’t about rushed resolutions or surface-level goal setting. It’s about zooming out to craft a 10-year vision, then bringing it back to the daily habits, choices, and inner shifts that shape who you are becoming.

    Shae explores the often-unspoken truth that growth holds both pain and joy, and that unbecoming old versions of ourselves is a necessary part of stepping into purpose. She shares why community matters more than ever, especially for women who are ready to lead with faith, love, and conviction, and why financial literacy is a cornerstone of creating generational wealth and legacy.

    This episode is both grounding and activating, blending mindset, spirituality, and practical wisdom. Shae also extends an invitation into her upcoming mastermind experience, focused on co-creating with God, aligning vision with action, and living from intention rather than reaction.

    If you’re feeling the nudge that 2026 must be different, this episode will meet you right where you are.

  • 080 - The Trashcan Theory: Understanding Hidden Food Allergens

    080 - The Trashcan Theory: Understanding Hidden Food Allergens
    Dec 20 2025
    In this expanded and deeply insightful episode of The Wellthy CEO, Shae Invidiata is joined by Dr. Shiva Lalezar, a pioneer in functional medicine, to explore how the foods we eat every day may be silently shaping our health in ways we don’t immediately recognize. At the heart of the conversation is Dr. Lalezar’s powerful concept known as the “Trashcan Theory.” She explains how the body gradually adapts to repeated exposure to food allergens and environmental stressors, much like becoming accustomed to the smell of an overflowing trashcan. Over time, this prolonged exposure can create oral tolerance, where symptoms fade from awareness even though inflammation and internal stress continue to build beneath the surface. Dr. Lalezar highlights how regular consumption of allergenic or inflammatory foods can mask their true impact, leading many people to believe certain foods are harmless when, in fact, they may be contributing to fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, or chronic inflammation. She also explains why changing environments such as travel, lifestyle shifts, or dietary resets can suddenly heighten sensitivity, revealing reactions that were previously hidden. Throughout the episode, Shae and Dr. Lalezar emphasize the importance of awareness and education in reclaiming health. Understanding tolerance, recognizing subtle warning signs, and identifying personal triggers are key steps in preventing long-term inflammation and supporting whole-body balance. This conversation encourages listeners to question “normal” symptoms and to see health as something that can be actively managed, not passively endured. Key Takeaways: The “Trashcan Theory” reveals how we adapt to environmental toxins and allergens.Prolonged exposure can lead to oral tolerance — masking health issues.Awareness of hidden allergens is essential for reducing inflammation.Inflammation can be a silent driver of chronic illness.Changing environments can heighten sensitivity to allergens.Regular exposure can conceal the true effects of certain foods.Recognizing allergens is a key step in restoring balance and health.Even seemingly harmless foods can trigger deeper systemic reactions.Awareness and education are vital for preventing long-term health damage. About Dr. Shiva Lalezar: Dr. Shiva Lalezar is a family physician and one of the leading pioneers in functional medicine, with over 25 years of experience in anti-aging medicine and chelation therapy. Her practice focuses on uncovering and resolving the root causes of illness through four key pillars: reversing metabolic syndrome and inflammation, heavy metal detox through chelation, complete gut repair, and hormone optimization. Known for her intuitive and compassionate approach, Dr. Lalezar empowers patients to heal from the inside out.

    079 - Don’t Build a Brand You Can Lose: The Legal Blind Spots Entrepreneurs Miss
    Nov 25 2025
    Are you aware of the legal blind spots in your business — the ones that could cost you your entire brand? Most entrepreneurs move fast, create fast, and launch fast… but forget the one thing that actually protects what they’re building. In this episode of The Wellthy CEO, Shae Invidiata sits down with global trademark expert Ashlee Froese to reveal the legal traps founders overlook, the mistakes that leave your business exposed, and the exact steps to secure your name, your work, and your worth before someone else claims it. From trademarks to contracts, Ashlee explains how legal tools can serve as strategic business assets that fuel growth and credibility. She breaks down the most common misconceptions entrepreneurs have about legal advice, trademarks, and intellectual property, revealing how proactive legal planning can help business owners avoid costly mistakes and confidently scale. Ashlee encourages founders to shift their mindset—seeing legal guidance not as a reactive step after problems arise, but as a proactive framework for long-term success. Because when you treat “the law as a system of business tools,” you’re already well prepared to lead with strength and stability. Key Takeaways: Entrepreneurs often underestimate the value of trademarks.Lawyers are strategic partners, not just courtroom advocates.Legal tools can proactively shape business growth.Preparation prevents legal and financial pitfalls.Trademark protection is crucial for brand integrity.Proactive legal strategy saves time, stress, and money.A strong legal foundation builds credibility and resilience.Legal literacy empowers entrepreneurs to lead with confidence. About Ashlee Froese: Ashlee Froese is a branding lawyer and trademark agent recognized globally for her leadership in intellectual property law. She’s one of only six female lawyers in Ontario to hold the designation of Certified Specialist in Trademarks Law, and since 2017 has been listed among the Top 1000 Trademark Lawyers in the World by World Trademark Review. A recipient of the Lexpert Zenith Award, WIPR Diversity Award, and Canadian Law Awards Female Trailblazer of the Year, Ashlee founded Froese Law after fast-tracking to partnership on Bay Street within six years. Her expertise spans trademarks, copyright, contracts, licensing, advertising law, and startup corporate structures. Ashlee also serves on numerous industry boards and advisory panels, including the Ontario Bar Association, Canadian Marketing Association, and City of Toronto’s Fashion Industry Advisory Panel.
