Planning Alternatives October 7, 2024
In this episode, Julie Colwell, Psychologist, Founder, and Director of the Evolutionary Power Institute, shares insights into redefining wealth beyond money.
Julie discusses how energy, health and purpose play vital roles in living a fulfilled life. She emphasizes the importance of aligning personal energy with meaningful experiences, while also touching on the role of relationships and creativity in true wealth.
Key Takeaways:
- (02:18) Money can be overemphasized, and it's easy to forget about other forms of energy.
- (02:45) We have a limited amount of energy, and how we invest it determines our return.
- (05:48) People often sacrifice their health to make money, but there should be a limit.
- (15:27) Without health, nothing else in your life can truly thrive.
- (16:48) Possibility makes life interesting and fun — it’s essential for long-term fulfillment.
- (18:30) Creativity allows you to access new ideas and possibilities that keep life exciting.
- (24:12) True wealth has nothing to do with money; it’s about meaning and purpose.
“It’s this paradox that many people get trapped in, thinking more money or achievement of a certain outcome is the end-all.”

About Julie Colwell, PhD
I’ve been on a journey of discovery for most of my life, seeking to unlock the secrets of living in true power. Being the fourth of four children instilled my sensitivity to hierarchy early on. Theorists from the women’s movement unveiled the systems that benefit from Power Up and Power Down, and introduced me to a brand new possibility: Power With.
As a psychologist (student of the psyche, aka the soul) I’ve spent my career developing and refining methods for individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations to shift out of energy-draining power struggles into reconnection, innovation, and flow.
My methods are clear, research-based, and powerful. As I play with clients and students, it is clear to all of us that we’re on the path of a new day, one where every person can be blessed by living from true, evolutionary power.
