Real Money with Lisa Chastain

My husband, Jimmy, and I talk about what a safe place for a man to be vulnerable requires, and why so many men never find one. He grew up hearing that grown men do not cry, spent more than thirty years in construction where there was no room for feelings, and describes the years of destructive anger that followed. He also describes the men in his life who showed him how to be open, because none of this happened on his own. That matters most for what we want our boys to learn: that it is okay to be vulnerable, frustrated, and happy. If you love a man who handles everything and says very little, this episode is worth listening to together.

I have championed women as financial leaders for the last decade, and in this episode I revise part of that position after reading Richard Reeves’ Of Boys and Men. The research on education, wages, and work points to a gap that affects men and women alike, and I walk through the figures that changed my thinking. I have been running breakthroughs with men, and the data in this episode explains why that work matters. Men need to rediscover their purpose, and women can support that without stepping back from our own ambitions.

Dr. Jade Norris explains what became possible once she built a practice with room for real conversations — patients who finally feel heard, care plans built around their actual lives, and prevention that gets caught early instead of missed. This episode is about what individualized attention makes possible, in medicine and in coaching alike. We talk about why the best care, financial or medical, always starts with actually knowing the person.

Most of what drives your financial decisions was set before you turned seven — in what your parents said about money, and everything they didn't say.
This episode breaks down what happens in a 10-Hour Breakthrough — the four hours we spend on personal history before we ever touch a belief system, and why that order matters. I also introduce the NLP logical levels framework that shapes how I think about real, sustainable change, from environment all the way up to identity.
If you've ever felt like you're making decisions on autopilot, this episode explains why.

My Wealth Within co-trainer Robert Pleasants joins me to talk about what actually happens in the training room. We get into the pictures we carry of how love, success, and money are supposed to look, and what happens when life stops matching the frame. We also talk about the difference between the practices that move you forward and the ones quietly running your life on repeat.

I'm reintroducing myself and Real Money as we head into year five, then turning to The Wealth Within. I created it because I watched clients build every marker of success and still feel like it wasn't enough. This season, I'm also widening the conversation to include men; the pressure they carry, the expectations they inherited, and what money reveals about how they lead and provide. Wealth doesn't live in isolation from marriages, families, and partnerships, and neither does this work.

The financial rules most women were raised on were written for a different era and a different economic reality.

In this solo episode of REAL MONEY, I examine six financial rules women were taught to follow, what each one actually costs, and what sharper financial decision-making looks like instead. From the budget shame cycle to the compound interest problem, this episode documents the specific ways traditional financial advice underserves women; and what values-based, identity-led financial thinking offers as an alternative.

Is your nervous system keeping you broke?We go deep on the identity-level shifts that separate women who grow wealth from women who keep starting over. Laura built her first business at 21, left Germany at 22, and spent years systematically dismantling the money beliefs her upbringing had wired into her — that success has to be hard, that money requires sacrifice, that rest is a luxury you haven't earned yet.It's not. And this conversation is the proof.📍 Connect with Laura Herde:

Why do women making six figures still feel broke? In this episode of REAL MONEY, I sit down with Danyel Paulsen — a licensed therapist, and host of the Reset After Dark podcast — who discovered that no amount of strategy could fix what was really holding her back with money. Danyel came into The Wealth Within thinking she just needed more information. What surfaced instead were identity-level patterns she didn't know were running the show.

This is not another personal development seminar with an upsell at the end.

The Wealth Within is a 4-day immersive experience that combines Financial Emotional Intelligence (FEQ), identity reconstruction, somatic and nervous system regulation, breathwork, emotional processing, and practical financial clarity to help high-earning women rewire their relationship with money from the inside out.

The Wealth Within process moves through four phases:

1️⃣ Awareness — seeing the patterns you've been blind to

2️⃣ Emotional Release — clearing what's been stored in the body

3️⃣ Identity Reconstruction — building from who you really are

4️⃣ Integration & Execution — making decisions from truth, not fear

If you've ever thought "no matter how much I make, I still feel broke" — this episode is for you.
