The Money Strategies Nobody Taught Us | with Lisa Schwartz

What happens when a woman who spent over 20 years climbing the corporate ladder, managing a $500 million budget, juggling calls with London at 6 a.m. and Singapore at 10 p.m., breast pump plugged into the cigarette lighter on the Edens Expressway finally decides enough is enough? She gets back in the driver's seat. And she starts learning what nobody ever taught her. Lisa Schwartz is a nurse, scientist, and founder of her own clinical research consultancy. But in this conversation, we are not talking about pharma. We are talking about what it took for a smart, accomplished woman to admit she had never heard of a Roth IRA and what happened when she finally did something about it. In two years she turned $8,000 into $150,000. She completed her first real estate deal. She executed the Augusta Rule for the first time and felt a kind of pride she had never felt climbing any corporate ladder. And she tells every one of her kids the same thing now: you can study anything you want in college, but you must get a minor in entrepreneurship because there is nothing more powerful than engineering your own wealth. This one is for every mom who has ever felt like the financial world was not built for her. It was not. But that does not mean you cannot learn the rules and use them anyway. Until next time, a wise woman will prosper. Buy the field, plant the vineyard, and watch it multiply.

Why High Achieving Women Still Feel Stuck with Kristen Jacobsen

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances, your education, or your opportunities? What if it's a subconscious belief you don't even realize you're carrying? In this episode of The Mom's Wealth Club Podcast, Lynn sits down with psychotherapist, TEDx speaker, and author Kristen Jacobsen to explore how childhood experiences, developmental trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, and self-limiting beliefs can quietly influence every area of our lives.

Together, they discuss: • Why successful women often struggle despite appearing to have it all together • The connection between trauma, anxiety, and self-sabotage • How scarcity mindset affects our relationship with money • The role of the inner critic in achievement and burnout • Generational patterns and subconscious beliefs • Nervous system regulation and practical tools for everyday life • Why healing isn't about fixing yourself but understanding yourself Kristen Jacobsen is a psychotherapist, TEDx speaker, author of Unpacked: How to Detach from the Subconscious Beliefs That Are Sabotaging Your Life, and founder of Cathartic Space Counseling.
