Ep. 379: What happens when your entire life changes in a single moment? In this powerful episode, Erika Brouillette shares how she became a traumatic brain injury caregiver overnight after her husband’s accident—and how she went from barely surviving to reclaiming her identity after trauma.

She’s now the host of Real Lives of TBI Wives, a podcast for TBI wives, where she supports women walking through similar storms.

 Ep. 371: Money mindset for women isn’t just about budgeting or saving—it's about owning your desire for more without guilt, shame, or needing to explain yourself.

In this bonus episode of Success in Mind, I’m diving deep into a pattern I see all too often in women’s networking circles: the habit of justifying financial goals. Whether it’s “I want to give it all away” or “I want to retire my husband,” we often soften our ambitions. But here’s the truth—you don’t need a reason to want more. Financial freedom for women starts with letting yourself want what you want.

I’m talking candidly about how our language around money reveals limiting beliefs, why the word “retire” may not be what you think it is, and how female entrepreneurs can rewrite their internal stories about success, wealth, and worthiness.

This episode will challenge how you think about money and give you full permission to claim it—unapologetically.

The subtle ways women justify wealth

Why “retiring your husband” may not be empowering

What money really means: health, choice, and freedom

How to shift your wealth mindset without guilt

Why wanting more just because you want it is enough
