Passionate & Prosperous with Stacey Brass-Russell Ep 211 | Rewiring Your Relationship to Money: Identity, Journaling, and The Science of Getting Rich with Edward Vilga
In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I’m joined by Edward Vilga to talk about his new book, The Science of Getting Rich Journal.
Edward took the original 1910 prosperity classic, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, and created a 40-day guided journal designed to help readers actively apply its principles. Instead of simply reading about wealth, gratitude, faith, and creative thinking, this journal turns those ideas into a structured daily practice.
Our conversation centers on identity and wealth — and why mindset and belief systems must come before strategy. We talk about the difference between passive manifestation and aligned action, and why visualization without follow-through isn’t enough. Edward shares the neuroscience behind journaling and how consistent reflection can help rewire the brain, increase clarity, and shift long-held patterns around money.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How Edward transformed a classic prosperity text into a practical, action-oriented journal
- Why identity and belief shape your ability to create wealth
- The difference between passive manifestation and aligned action
- The neuroscience behind journaling and brain rewiring
- Gratitude as a foundation for abundance
- Creative mindset vs. competitive mindset
- Why repetition and structure (like a 40-day practice) support real transformation
- Strengthening your relationship to money without shame or guilt
If you’re building a business, leading clients, or working to strengthen your own relationship with money, this episode offers a grounded framework for thinking about prosperity differently. Wealth, as we discuss it here, isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about becoming the kind of person who can create, hold, and act from abundance over time.
