From Shame to Sovereignty: Reclaiming Financial Confidence—Even with $4.5M in the Bank

You’d never guess she was struggling. A 66-year-old widow with $4.5 million in assets, and yet—crippling doubt, no savings, and no idea how to manage it all.

In this raw and revealing episode of I Date Money®, Lisa Drennon, your Wealth Activator, opens the vault on a conversation so many women are too ashamed to have. Shame doesn’t just keep us silent—it keeps us from seeing clearly, from asking for help, and from leading our money like the CEOs we truly are.

Lisa shares the power of the money map, the truth about emotional spending, why wealth doesn’t equal confidence, and how you can finally feel safe and sovereign with your money again.

Whether you’re hiding your Amazon packages, avoiding your statements, or quietly wondering if you’re “doing it wrong", this episode is for you.

💡 Topics Discussed:

• How shame silently controls your money decisions
• The difference between having wealth and feeling wealthy
• Why women with 7-figures still feel scared to spend or invest
• What to do if you were never taught how to manage money
• The real role of emergency funds—and why yours might keep disappearing
• The magic of money mapping (with color-coded clarity)
• What it means to date money and lead it with intention
• How the Wealth Accelerator transforms doubt into financial confidence

💬 Quote to Remember:

“She wasn’t broken. She wasn’t foolish. She was just unresourced. And that changes now.”
