Gateways to Awakening Money as Energy: Conscious Investing, the Dark Feminine, and Real Freedom with Natalie Levy
In this episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with her friend Natalie Levy, Managing Partner of She’s Independent Investments, a women-first angel investment group making investing more accessible through action and education.
Natalie is an engineer and mathematician by training and a former Wall Street trader and private equity professional who now blends analytical rigor with values-based, heart-led investing. They explore Natalie’s new book, Cash Is Queen: A Conscious Journey in Angel Investing, and the deeper shift it represents in how we relate to money, power, and feminine leadership.
“The business is not just numbers and data points. The business is people. It’s energy.” - Natalie Levy
Key takeaways from this conversation:
Why Natalie chose the title “Cash Is Queen” and how changing language can change culture, identity, and access.
What a feminine approach to wealth-building looks like, including magnetizing and flowing versus forcing and grasping.
Why investing is not just numbers and spreadsheets, but also people, energy, and values, and how that changes what you choose to fund.
A candid look at unconscious bias in finance, including how privilege can create blind spots and why contrast often sharpens self-awareness.
How to start redefining your relationship with money by recognizing that money is energy, and that nearly everyone carries some form of money trauma, whether they have wealth or not.
Why “conscious capital” is often reduced to marketing language, and what it looks like when it is real, embodied, and practiced.
Practical advice for founders, especially women and diverse founders, on how to think about funding, including why not every business needs venture capital and how to use accessible education tools to understand your options.
The idea that the most powerful fundraising strategy is building something so aligned that it becomes magnetic, and support arrives through relationship and trust rather than panic and pressure.
