FROM THE EDITOR
Founder, Lead and Empower Her She Talks
November always brings with it a gentle shift—cooler mornings, deeper conversations, and a season
of reflection that invites us to look at what matters most. For me, that begins with gratitude.
I am profoundly grateful for each of you.
Our She Talks community is more than a network—it is a global sisterhood made up of women who
refuse to dim their light, who dare to lead with courage, compassion, and conviction. Every month, I
meet someone new whose story moves me. Every day, I see women lifting one another up, sharing
resources, and creating space for others to rise. You make being grateful incredibly easy.
This November, that spirit of gratitude is fueling one of the most important initiatives we’ve ever
launched: 10,000 Women Rising.
This campaign was born from a deep place in my heart—a calling to ensure that every woman,
regardless of background or circumstance, has the opportunity to step into her voice, pursue
abundance, and lead a life filled with purpose. After more than two decades of working with women
around the world, I’ve seen the extraordinary potential that is unlocked when a woman is supported.
I’ve also seen how easily that potential can be quieted by systems, doubt, and lack of access.
10,000 Women Rising is our answer to that.
It is a movement to empower, train, and uplift women worldwide through leadership development,
business growth, financial literacy, and mental/physical wellness. It is an invitation for women to
rise—together.
To the women who have already said “yes”—thank you. To our ambassadors, partners, friends, and
sisters around the world—thank you. Your belief in this mission tells every woman watching that she
is worth investing in and that she doesn’t have to walk alone.
And if you are just joining us, welcome. There is a place for you here.
Whether you contribute your story, volunteer, mentor, sponsor, teach, or simply show up—you’re
part of the rise.
As we gather this month with the people we love, may we remember that gratitude is not passive. It
is active. It moves us to serve, to give, to uplift. My prayer is that we hold gratitude not only in feasts
and gatherings—but in action, in generosity, and in the way we champion one another.
I hope as you read this month’s issue, you feel seen, inspired, and strengthened. I hope you are
reminded that your voice matters. And I hope you know how deeply thankful I am—for you, for this
community, and for the world we are building together.
May this month be filled with reflection, warmth, and abundant joy.
May we continue to rise—one story, one sister, one step at a time.

The Power of Safe
Money Strategies: Your
Path to a Secure Future
eople often ask, “Why do I need a safe
money strategy?” The truth is, we tend
to forget the lessons of the past. Just
think back to 2008.
By Kris Miller
Millions of people saw their dreams of retirement
vanish as the market crashed. Many of those
individuals were close to retirement, only to find
themselves forced to keep working. Some even
had to take on jobs like being greeters at big-box
stores just to make ends meet. It’s heartbreaking
but true.
This reality inspired me to dedicate my career to
helping others avoid this fate and to share my
knowledge through my #1 Best-Selling Book,
Ready for PREtirement: Three Secrets for Safe
Money and a Fabulous Future. By understanding
these strategies, you can protect your
hard-earned savings and create income you will
never outlive while setting yourself up for lasting
financial growth.
A Wake-Up Call: Are You Ready for PREtirement?
I’ll never forget speaking at the government
financial officers’ association convention in
Washington, DC. As a keynote speaker, I asked the
audience, “How many of you are ready for
PREtirement?” Out of the entire room, maybe 2%
raised their hands. These were government officials
— the people managing everyone else’s money.
Their laughter in response to my follow-up, “And
you’re the government,” underscored a universal
truth: we’re all too busy managing immediate
responsibilities to plan ahead effectively. Moms are
juggling kids, dads are handling bills, and no one has
time to focus on creating wealth for the future

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER: THE
THREE “SECRETS”
Connect with Kris
The overwhelming flood of daily responsibilities
and information often keeps people from
prioritizing their financial security. But ignoring
these strategies isn’t just risky; it’s costly. Safe
money strategies can give you the tools to not
only create income you will never outlive but
also achieve consistent financial growth over
time.
The Cost of Not Planning Ahead
After working with over 5,000 clients across
two decades, I’ve seen the devastating impact
of poor planning. Many people reach
retirement only to find their pensions depleted
and their brokers long gone. They’re left
scrambling, dipping into savings that should
have lasted a lifetime. This lack of preparation
is why I’m passionate about sharing these
insights. Everyone deserves a secure future,
and with the right tools, you can build one.
A key part of this process is adopting strategies
that prioritize protection over risky ventures.
While stockbrokers may promise sky-high
returns, they also come with significant risks.
Safe money strategies, on the other hand, offer
a way to safeguard your savings while allowing
for steady financial growth. Most importantly,
they help you create income you will never
outlive, ensuring that your golden years truly
are golden.
The principles I outline in my book aren’t really
secrets. They’re simply not widely discussed in
mainstream conversations. By focusing on
insurance products and other protective
financial tools, you can avoid the pitfalls that so
many others have faced. These strategies aren’t
about taking unnecessary risks but about
ensuring your future stability while allowing
your wealth to grow sustainably.
I’ll be honest: I could earn much more if I
worked as a stockbroker. But my mission is
bigger than personal profit. I’m committed to
helping others build a future where they can
create wealth, experience ongoing financial
growth, and enjoy the peace of mind that
comes from knowing they’ve secured their
financial legacy.
Take Control of Your Future Today
It’s never too early — or too late — to take
charge of your financial destiny. By adopting
safe money strategies, you’re investing in a
future where you don’t just survive but thrive.
Don’t let the mistakes of the past define your
tomorrow. Instead, make today the day you
start creating wealth, fostering financial
growth, and securing an income you will never
outlive. Your financial future is in your hands.
Take the first step toward a fabulous future
with safe money strategies that work.

WHAT IF “NOT
ENOUGH” ISN’T
SOMETHING TO FIX?
e treat imposter syndrome and self-doubt as flaws. What if they’re actually signals designed to
keep us aligned with our purpose?
What If “Not Enough” Isn’t a Flaw to Fix?
We tend to see imposter syndrome, the sense of unworthiness, and the sense of not doing enough as
problems to solve. Something broken. Something shameful. Something we need to “overcome” before
we can be worthy, confident, or successful.
Even Mother Teresa — one of the most devoted humanitarians in history — privately questioned if she
was doing enough for humanity.
If she felt that… maybe “not enough” isn’t a sign of failure at all. Maybe it’s simply part of being human.
Today, I want to challenge this idea:
What if these feelings aren’t obstacles — what if
they are invitations? What if they are here to:
Inspire us to imagine new ways of
contributing,
Motivate us to keep evolving,
Fuel us to rise to the goals we’ve set for
ourselves?
Instead of punishing us or breaking us down,
maybe these moments are here to lift us up.
What If These Feelings Are Built-In?
We often assume that if we feel self-doubt or
imposter syndrome, something is wrong with
us. But what if they are not glitches in the
system… what if they are part of the system?
Maybe these feelings are meant to:
keep us from going on autopilot,
challenge us to deepen our work,
and remind us that our mission matters
enough to question.
They can be seen as strategic signals, not
shameful flaws — checkpoints that ask:
“Are you still aligned with who you want to
become?”
When we stop seeing them as enemies, we can
start seeing them as relationship partners.
The Bridge: How to Work With These Feelings,
Not Against Them
Here’s how to navigate them without getting
stuck or spiraling:
① Pause & Source
Ask:
“Is this coming from Now Me or Then Me?”
Now Me: A growth edge — feeling like an
imposter because you’re stretching into
something new.
Then Me: An old echo — a belief or wound
that’s resurfacing because you’re strong
enough to heal it now.
This question turns the emotional flood into a
signal you can analyze.
SHE TALKS | 10
② Identify the Role
Ask:
“What is this trying to do for me?”
Maybe it’s trying to:
protect you from perceived danger,
refine your standards,
or stop you from moving too fast.
Even fear has a function. Name it — and you
remove its power to secretly run the show.
③ Choose the Relationship
Ask:
“What role do I want this to play right now?”
You get to decide whether to:
Integrate it as an advisor,
Release it as outdated,
or simply witness it and move forward
anyway.
This turns “not enough” from a roadblock into a
conscious choice point.
④ Return to Center
Remind yourself:
“I am not this feeling. It’s just passing through
me.”
This lets you move forward clean — not in
combat with yourself, but in command of
yourself.
From Chaos to Creative Fuel
When we stop trying to “fix” these feelings,
something powerful happens:
We stop wasting energy fighting them
We start using their presence to refine our
path
We transform them from shame triggers
into growth triggers
This is how self-doubt becomes a catalyst
instead of a cage.
The Invitation
I’m not here to say this is the answer. I’m here
to offer another option — especially for those
who feel the usual answers just aren’t working
anymore.
You don’t have to eliminate every shadow to be
worthy of your light. You just have to choose
how you want to relate to it.
Because growth isn’t about fixing what’s broken
— it’s about reclaiming authorship over how you
use what you feel.
You are your own author.
Choose how you want to relate to life.
I am here to support you.

You Are Not
Your Thoughts
By Mamie-Jean Lamley
"You are not your thoughts. You are
the awareness that decides what stays."
- Mamie
old one hand out in front of you.
Look at it closely. Notice the lines,
the strength, the way it responds
to your direction. Now, pick up
something nearby, such as a pen,
Years ago, I heard T. Harv Eker share that
thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to
actions, and actions create results. That model
changed the way I viewed everything. I began to
realize how my own thoughts were shaping the
tone of my experiences. When I thought small, I
felt limited. When I thought expansively, I acted
boldly. And every time I shifted the thought, the
results followed.
That awareness taught me that thoughts are not
just invisible words floating through the mind;
they are the starting point of every outcome you
create. When you learn to observe them, you gain
the power to redirect the flow before it becomes
your reality.
Too often, we treat our thoughts as if they were
the truth. We believe every story they tell. We
replay the painful memories, the fears, the
doubts, and we give them power. Yet thoughts
are only passing guests. They enter, stay for a
while, and move on when you stop providing
them with food.
a key, or your phone. Watch as your hand lifts,
holds, and then sets it down.
That movement is powerful. You chose it. You
directed it. The object was never part of you. It
was simply something you held for a moment.
Your thoughts work the same way.
Each thought that crosses your mind is like that
object in your hand. You can notice it, use it, or
release it. You can hold on when it helps or set it
down when it harms. When you understand this,
you begin to separate who you are from what you
think. You are not your thoughts. You are the
awareness behind them.
And then one teaching changed everything.

The practice begins with observation.
You step back. You breathe. You watch what enters your mind without judgment. You notice the
thought that says, I am not enough. You notice the one that says, you don't see me. Then you pause
and remember that noticing gives you choice.
Awareness turns reaction into response. It gives you space to decide.
When a thought of fear or anger arises, you can ask, Does this serve me? 'When a thought of doubt
whispers, you can ask, Is this true? When a thought of love appears, you can say, Yes, this stays. And
this is how you begin to lead yourself, this is how clarity forms.
The moment you choose which thoughts stay and which ones go, you reclaim authority over your
inner world. And when you lead from that awareness, every conversation, every decision, and every
action becomes more intentional.
Watching your thoughts does not mean ignoring emotion. It means honoring your humanity without
becoming trapped in it. You can feel disappointment without letting it consume you. You can
acknowledge frustration without letting it define your next move.
Every thought carries energy. Every thought builds momentum. When you hold thoughts of peace,
you create calm. When you hold thoughts of courage, you develop strength. When you hold thoughts
of love, you make a sense of alignment.
You have always had this power. Awareness opens it. When your mind starts to race, pause. Look up.
Watch the clouds move across the sky. Then see your thoughts doing the same and floating by, soft
and calm. Remember, you are the sky. Steady, spacious, and holding it all.
When you learn to watch instead of react, you move from survival to creation. You stop letting old
patterns dictate new possibilities. You begin to live with intention, purpose, and grace.
You are not your thoughts. You are the consciousness that decides what stays. And when awareness
leads, peace follows. Awareness opens the door to transformation, and through time, great teachers
have echoed the same truth. Your thoughts do not define you. Your awareness does.
The Gifts of Aligned Voices
Each voice carries a gift, a mirror, a reminder
of what becomes possible when you rise
above the noise within.
Eckhart Tolle reminds you that freedom
begins the moment you step back from the
thinker. Awareness is your return to peace.
T. Harv Eker offers the gift of structure. A
simple truth that thoughts lead to feelings,
feelings lead to actions, and actions shape
your results. What begins in the mind
becomes the blueprint of your life.
Viktor Frankl brings the gift of space. The
sacred Pause between stimulus and
response where choice lives. That Pause is
where transformation begins.
Dr. Wayne Dyer shares the gift of
empowerment. The reminder that your
thoughts create your direction. When you
shift your thinking, your life follows.
Byron Katie reveals the gift of inquiry. The
gentle practice of asking, Is this true? Her
wisdom invites you to meet your mind with
curiosity instead of judgment.
