#180: Wealth Isn't Money, It's Consciousness in Motion | Christopher Mackin

The Real Reason You Can't Hold Wealth Yet: Self-Worth   "Wealth isn't something you chase. It's something you learn how to hold." What if the reason abundance hasn't stuck isn't strategy — but capacity? In this powerful episode of GRASP Confidence, Tara LaFon Gooch sits down with Christopher Mackin, a wealth advisor with over two decades of experience who bridges finance, spirituality, and planetary stewardship. After a life-altering spiritual awakening in Sedona and a chance meeting on a private island retreat in Belize, Christopher introduces a radically different way to think about money, success, and abundance. He challenges traditional manifestation culture and explains why rooted wealth creates fulfillment — while unrooted wealth often leaves even the most successful people feeling empty.   As Christopher puts it: "You can build wealth from a rooted place—or an unrooted place. One creates fulfillment. The other creates lack, no matter how much you have."   In this conversation, you'll discover: why most money mindset work fails at the identity level how self-worth determines how much wealth you allow yourself to receive the difference between fast money and sustainable wealth why regulation, not hustle, is the foundation of abundance how giving, play, and service activate true prosperity   And yes — Christopher delivers one of the most unforgettable lines of the episode: "Putting manifestation on top of unhealed patterns is like putting whipped cream on poop." If you've ever made money but still felt "off," burned out, or disconnected… this episode will resonate deeply. Christopher reframes wealth as WELLTH — a holistic state of abundance rooted in purpose, balance, community, and conscious stewardship. "Most people don't have a money problem. They have a relationship-with-money problem." "You can make money fast—but without internal capacity, you'll lose it just as fast." This is not a conversation about getting rich quick. It's about becoming the kind of person who can hold, steward, and expand abundance with integrity. Tune in, listen all the way through, and reflect deeply.
