From Sudden Wealth to Mindful Millions
What if true financial security had less to do with how much you earn, and everything to do with how you think? Whether you've received a windfall or you're growing a business at lightning speed, this conversation will help you align your wealth with your values, your vision, and your inner peace.
In this insightful episode, Leann Herron interviews Leisa Peterson, a Financial Strategist, Money Mindset Coach, and Sudden Wealth Specialist who helps people navigate the emotional and psychological side of money. Leisa shares her journey from traditional financial advising to founding WealthClinic, a compassionate, holistic approach to wealth that integrates behavior, mindset, and legacy-building.
Leisa brings decades of experience working with both entrepreneurs growing wealth and individuals who’ve inherited it suddenly. Surprisingly, they often face the same internal blocks—fear, unworthiness, or confusion around identity and worth.
Leisa helps people move from financial chaos to clarity by identifying misalignments between their goals, actions, and beliefs. She explains how sudden wealth—whether from a divorce settlement, business exit, or inheritance—can trigger identity crises and emotional overwhelm if someone hasn’t yet built a strong inner foundation.
Leisa also shares her personal “lightbulb moment” that led her to walk away from the rigid world of traditional finance to create something more human-focused. Her books, The Mindful Millionaire and The Money Catalyst, provide frameworks to help readers cultivate a healthy relationship with money rooted in mindfulness, purpose, and peace.
Whether you’re scaling a business or facing an unexpected financial windfall, this episode offers practical, shame-free wisdom—like one gentle step anyone can take today to begin healing their financial story.
