Real Conversations About Money

with Lisa Chastain

Let’s talk real about money, especially from a woman’s perspective. I’m Lisa Chastain, and I’m here to shatter the silence around finances. Too many women carry the burden of financial shame and guilt, and it’s time to change that narrative. Did you know men hold 90% of the world’s wealth, yet women drive 85% of spending? It’s time for us to take charge of our financial narrative.

Join me as we navigate through the complexities of money management, debunking myths, and claiming our financial power. I’m here to provide practical advice tailored to women, because let’s face it, traditional financial wisdom often doesn’t speak to our experiences. Together, we’ll build confidence in our financial decisions and make money relatable for every woman.

Tune in to Real Money with Lisa Chastain, where we empower women to take control of their finances and own their financial journey.
