Money Blindspots: Why Smart Women Get Caught Off Guard


Listen Later

So many smart, successful women are running companies, leading teams, and managing full lives… yet flying blind when it comes to their own household finances. Not because they’re clueless, but because money is quiet when you ignore it — and trust feels easier than clarity.

In this episode, Shari breaks down the real reason high-earning women get financially blindsided and the three guardrails every woman needs to stay informed, secure, and empowered.

Then forensic accountant Tracy Coenen joins the conversation to reveal what she sees behind the scenes: the blind spots, red flags, and financial dynamics that quietly derail even the most capable women.

Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, this conversation will help you protect your money, strengthen your confidence, and take back control without creating relationship drama or adding one more thing to your mental load.

You’ll walk away with:

– The #1 reason smart women get blindsided financially

– The three essential “Money Guardrails” every woman needs

– How comfort turns into vulnerability (and how to stop it)

– The red flags Tracy sees most often in high-asset households

– How to talk about money in relationships without damaging trust

– Simple routines to stay informed, independent, and protected
