The holidays don’t have to break the bank or your sanity.

This week, we’re joined by Lisa Chastain, a renowned expert in personal finance and dedicated to empowering passionate and successful women to overcome the shame and guilt surrounding their finances. Lisa has built her entire career supporting individuals to rewire their money mindset and adopt a strategic framework to focus on healthy spending rather than restrictive budgeting. 

Lisa shares how childhood experiences shape our holiday spending habits, why quality time beats quantity of gifts every time, and the five money personalities that show up when December rolls around. We also dive into her favorite holiday hacks, like stacking credit card points, creating “holiday-only” savings accounts, and forecasting your finances months in advance.

Whether you’re worried about overspending on gifts, feeling guilty about saying no to parties, or just wanting to make this holiday season more meaningful, this conversation is packed with perspective shifts and practical tips you can use right now.
