Women, Wealth, and True Power | Write Your Outcome, with Barbara Huson | #17

By Key Performance | September 24, 2026

I have idolized this woman for years. I’ve read every book she’s written, been coached by her through one of the hardest seasons of my life, and she even included me in her book Rewire for Wealth. So having Barbara Huson on the show feels like a full-circle moment I still can’t quite believe happened.

Barbara is a leading authority on women, wealth, and power. She’s the bestselling author of seven books, including Prince Charming Isn’t Coming, Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Overcoming Underearning, Sacred Success, and Rewire for Wealth. She’s also a financial therapist and the founder of The Wealth Connection.

In this conversation, we go deep into the truth she taught me years ago: problems with money are never about money. They’re about our fear of and ambivalence toward power. Barbara shares how she lost nearly everything to her ex-husband’s gambling, rebuilt her life, and discovered that real wealth has nothing to do with the amount you make—it’s about wellbeing.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

Why getting smart about money requires four kinds of work: outer, inner, higher, and deeper
How to use her three-step rewiring process—recognize, reframe, respond differently—to shift money fears
What unhealed trauma does to your nervous system and your finances
The three simple practices that changed her relationship with money: read daily, talk weekly, save monthly
Why doing what you fear is the fastest way to build self-esteem and increase your earnings

If money has ever felt like a language you can’t speak, or if you’ve quietly believed you’re just not “good with money,” this episode will meet you exactly where you are and show you another way.
