Breaking Free from Money Fears with Leisa Peterson
Money. Just reading that word might make your stomach flip. If you’ve ever felt intimidated, overwhelmed, or even avoided talking about money altogether—you’re not alone. I’ll be the first to admit, my hand is raised right along with yours.
That’s why today’s episode of The Seed: Cultivating Growth and Empowering Women in Business is one you can’t miss. I’m joined by Leisa Peterson, an author, financial advisor, and money mindset coach who’s bringing honesty, wisdom, and clarity to a topic that so many of us struggle with: how to build wealth with confidence instead of fear.
Why We Need to Talk About Money (Especially as Women)
Most of us weren’t taught how to manage wealth in school. We stumbled into adulthood with jobs that offered 401(k)s or insurance plans and thought, “Okay, I’m set.” But then life happens—job loss, divorce, unexpected change—and suddenly we’re left scrambling to figure out finances on our own.
Women, in particular, often don’t take ownership of financial conversations until a pivotal life event forces us to. And even then, it’s easy to feel like advisors are talking at us rather than with us.
That’s where Leisa is different. She’s dedicated her career to empowering people (especially women) to not only understand money but to build a healthy relationship with it.
In this conversation, Leisa and I dig into:
Why so many women feel behind when it comes to financial literacy.
How to start building wealth even if the numbers scare you.
The role of emotions—and even trauma—in shaping your money mindset.
Why risk is necessary, and how to start taking smart risks without losing sleep.
Her personal journey from ramen noodles and low-paying jobs to financial independence.
Leisa also shares insights from her bestselling books The Mindful Millionaire and The Money Catalyst. Both take a unique approach to wealth by blending practical financial strategies with the emotional side of money—helping you rewrite your story and step into abundance.
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of this episode, you’ll see that building wealth isn’t about having all the answers or a perfect financial past—it’s about:
Starting where you are.
Trying something new, even if it feels uncomfortable.
Learning to trust yourself with money.
Whether you’re curious about making your first investment, wondering how to talk with your advisor, or just ready to stop letting fear control your financial decisions, this episode is packed with encouragement and actionable wisdom.
