Welcome back to the Health in Wealth™ podcast, where we explore the beautiful, intimate connection between your body, your mind, and your money… and how tending to one transforms them all. I’m your host, Ana Ramos, and today we’re diving into something very close to my heart — the Five Pillars of Wealth, and how my own journey through them has shaped the way I live, breathe, and create a life of wealth-being.

This season, we’ve been exploring a theme I love — biohacking. Not in the sense of gadgets or extreme optimization… but in the sense of understanding the body as the first messenger. The gentlest scientist. The place where our money stories live long before they show up in our bank accounts or our decisions.

When I first started this work, I believed wealth belonged mostly to the financial pillar — strategy, planning, structure. And while those pieces matter, what I’ve come to realize is that real wealth — sustainable, joyful, deeply rooted wealth — blooms only when all five pillars are in conversation with one another. When the body is regulated… when relationships feel safe… when purpose is aligned… when finances flow… and when personal growth becomes a way of being.

For many years, I tried to outrun discomfort, to work my way around misalignment, to keep pushing even when my body was whispering — sometimes shouting — that something wasn’t right. And like many of you, I learned the hard way that when one pillar falls out of harmony, it sends a ripple through the others.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share the questions I still ask myself — the ones that help me return to center when life gets loud. Questions that bring the nervous system back into safety, that bring clarity to decision-making, and that remind me that wealth-being is not created through pressure… but through presence.

So wherever you are — walking, resting, driving, or simply listening — I invite you to take one gentle breath with me. Let your body arrive. Let your mind soften. And let’s explore what it means to build a life not from urgency… but from harmony.

This is the journey back to you. This is the journey back to wealth-being. Let’s begin.

Welcome back to the Health in Wealth™ podcast.

I’m Ana Ramos, and as always, I’m grateful to share this space with you.

As we move through life — our careers, our ambitions, our daily responsibilities — it’s so easy to forget the one practice that can change everything: gratitude.
Not the gratitude we write on lists or rush through at the end of the day…
but the gratitude we embody — the kind that softens our nervous system, expands our perspective, and shifts the energy with which we meet the world.

Today's guest is someone who understands this deeply, and she is proof that even the most technical fields are made richer by heart, intention and presence.

Dalene Deale is a fintech strategist, regulatory specialist, and the founder of Business Growth Hacking. She brings big-picture clarity to complex systems, and her work influences some of South Africa’s most important digital identity and financial frameworks.

But what I find most inspiring about Dalene is not just her mind — it’s her humanity.
She is a high achiever who has learned to channel her ADHD, her lived experiences, and her unstoppable curiosity into a life filled with meaning, creativity, and purpose.

Today, we’ll explore how gratitude has shaped her path — how it supports achievement, expands resilience, anchors focus, and transforms the way we experience both our inner and outer worlds.

So take a breath…
Settle in…
And let’s explore the power of gratitude in a life lived fully, purposefully, and with a deep connection to wealth-being.

Hi everyone, and welcome back to the Health in Wealth® podcast. I’m Ana Ramos, and I’m so grateful you’re here.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the quiet moments that shape us… the ones that remind us to pause, breathe, and come back home to ourselves.

In a world that moves so quickly, the breath is one of the few things that’s always with us — a constant invitation back into presence, safety, and flow.

And that’s what today’s conversation is about. I’m joined by someone whose work inspires me deeply… Jennifer Furter, the founder of Breathing Room, whose approach to breathwork is as grounding as it is expansive.

Jennifer has a gift for helping people reconnect to the wisdom already living inside them. Her work shows us that breath is not just a physiological act — it is an energetic reset, a doorway into creativity, clarity, and gratitude.

So, take a deep, slow breath… Settle into your body… And let’s begin.
