I’m honored to welcome Lisa Chastain onto the podcast today!

We’re talking ALL things money today, and Lisa is the perfect person to help us with this. I know money can be somewhat of a touchy topic, and really bring up a variety of feelings for us. It is my intention as a business owner to continue to be empowered and make financial decisions that will ultimately grow the kind of wealth that I want to have, so I can make the lasting impact I want in the world. I’m betting you can relate to that, too! 

Lisa Chastain is a professional money coach that helps passionate and successful women shed the shame and guilt around their finances and focus on healthy spending, instead of restricted budgeting. Lisa grew up with a pretty ‘humble’ money mindset; she didn’t think or dream too big. Money wasn’t typically a part of the conversation in her family, but if it ever was brought up..it was because there wasn’t ‘enough’ of it.

As Lisa grew up, she felt a huge disconnect. She had big dreams and knew she was meant to take up space on this planet, but she never felt like she was worthy, or, you guessed it..enough. Lisa knew she wanted something that would provide unlimited earning potential; she pursued the career path to financial advisor, which ultimately led to professional money coach. It’s been a hell of a ride for her, but she loves supporting women get out of their comfort zones + crush their limiting beliefs when it comes to money!

In today’s episode, we talk about empowering women to rewrite their money story and step into their financial potential without guilt or shame. All of us have certain beliefs about money that were ingrained into us as children. Regardless of what our ‘money story’ is, it’s our job to take responsibility for that, and break free from those beliefs that are no longer serving us!

Lisa created an incredible tool that tells you what YOUR money personality is (special offer for you as a listener linked below if you want to try it)! She shares more about the 5 unique personalities, and what it can look like to take control of your finances, and build the kind of wealth you’re desiring.

We’re also discussing what it looks like to navigate healthy money conversations with your partner, and even model healthy money habits to your kids. It’s important to actually talk about and get super clear on the vision you want for your finances, and your life. As women, we have a hard time asking questions because we don’t necessarily know the questions to ask. This shouldn’t keep us from being involved, but instead, help us to work closely together and get on the same page with our partners! 

Money is NOT as complicated as we make it out to be – it shouldn’t be something that feels so chaotic or overwhelming! We should feel excitement as we step into our financial potential, not guilt or shame. When we choose to surround ourselves with women who are doing big things with money + normalizing it all together, we WILL transform the world.

I hope this conversation inspires you to dig into your own money story, stop playing small, and yes..be a little disruptive on your path to building unbelievable wealth, friend!
