Building Thinkers: Accessible Blueprints for Learning & Life

What Every High-Achieving Woman Should Know About Money


Listen Later

If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s done all the “right” things (degrees, career moves, leadership roles) but still feel uncertain when it comes to managing your money, you are not alone.


I sat down with Eryn Schultz, a Harvard MBA and former Accenture consultant who now helps high-earning women get clear and confident about their finances. Eryn has this rare ability to take complex financial concepts and make them feel approachable, judgment-free, and genuinely empowering.


In our conversation, we talk about the biggest things smart women tend to overcomplicate when it comes to personal finance, and what it actually looks like to take control without shame, overwhelm, or endless spreadsheets. Eryn also shares what she’s learned from years in corporate leadership and how she designs her personal finance courses specifically for women with big ambitions (and busy lives).


Her work has been featured on NPR, CNBC, Harvard Business School, and Real Simple, and after this conversation, you’ll understand why. She brings clarity, compassion, and a deep understanding of what so many women are navigating behind closed doors.

More About Building Thinkers: 


I'm your host, Tracy Clark, and this is where potential becomes reality through deliberate curiosity, reflection, practice, and play. The Building Thinkers podcast is based on the realization that there's exponential potential in the things we build.


And so, in my little corner of the internet and podcasting land, I want to take my 12 favorite problems, these are my constant curiosities, and I want to go deeper. I want to build thinkers. This is a community of multi-potentialites who may be disoriented by all the possibilities of success we envision but haven't yet achieved.


If any of that sounds like you, come listen in. Welcome to the Building Thinkers podcast.
