In this heartfelt episode, Shawn O’Connor—mother of four, wellness advocate, and a new but passionate real estate investor—shares her transformative journey from scarcity to stewardship. From surviving personal loss and financial hardship to redefining what legacy means, Shawn opens up about overcoming fear, embracing faith, and stepping into purpose-driven investing later in life.
She reflects on early lessons about money, the lingering effects of a “lack mentality,” and how her faith now informs every financial decision. Shawn also discusses her current real estate goals—serving military families, creating generational impact, and building communities that empower others to thrive.
