Meet Lisa Chastain

Lisa is a disruptor in the financial world, here to challenge the systems that were never built for women in the first place. Budgeting, as we’ve been taught, is a tool of control—a structure designed by men to keep women in check, ashamed of their spending, and disconnected from their power. But the truth is, women drive over 85% of the country’s spending. We’re already in control of the economy—we just haven’t been shown how to fully own that power. Lisa’s work is about giving women the tools, language, and confidence to lead their financial lives with clarity and intention, not guilt.

She knows how scary it can be to face your money, especially when you’ve been shamed, ignored, or overwhelmed by advice that doesn’t speak to your lived experience. That’s why Lisa created Stop Budgeting, Start Living—to help women get honest, get unstuck, and start living life on their own terms. This isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about doing it your way, with support, courage, and community. Lisa’s not promising a quick fix—but she is promising that you can create a life you love. The only thing you need to get started is the decision to stop waiting.

Here’s what’s
waiting for you inside these pages.

{This is one of the few books I’ve read that I’ve taken many things away from to implement in my own life. Lisa does a great job of acknowledging that understanding money is about understanding yourself and what you want out of life. I’m very excited to start doing what I’ve learned and reduce some of the debt load I have!
