Do you struggle with money? Is debt weighing you down? Tresa Leftenant is here to help you cultivate confidence, conquer debt, and begin living a wealthy life. Are you ready?!! In this episode, I talk with Tresa Leftenant, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Behavioral Finance Advisor (BFA™) with over four decades of comprehensive financial planning and wealth advisory experience. Tresa is also a certified Canfield trainer of the Success Principles, a beautiful speaker, podcaster, and transformation facilitator. Tresa's Master Work is a handbook for women ready to change their financial lives called Reinventing Her. In this empowering guide, she openly shares her own transformation with money, relationships, and career, and encourages women to upgrade their lives by learning and living the steps she created to change her own life. Tresa's expertise is the connection between self-worth and net worth - how women can engage in inner work to unleash their “living a wealthy life” mindset. "If there is some empowerment inside that I am inherently valuable, and therefore I deserve to have whatever that amount of money is going to provide for me, then I'm willing to take the actions. I'm willing to learn how to take the risk to become comfortable with behavior that is required to let my money grow on itself, which is what investing is." During our interview, Tresa discusses how our emotions and beliefs around money directly impact our financial outcomes. She shares her personal story of growing up with a banker father and a mother who constantly compared their lifestyle to others, leading Tresa to develop unhealthy money habits like using credit cards for approval. Tresa emphasizes that the number one reason women struggle financially is due to the family story and societal messages they've internalized about money, not their ability. She unpacks how women often struggle to feel worthy of wealth and financial abundance, and how this self-worth piece is the key to unlocking a more empowered relationship with money. This episode is a must-listen for any woman who feels stuck or dissatisfied with her current financial situation. Tresa provides a roadmap for doing the inner work to shift your money mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, and step into your natural abundance. Whether your goal is to become a millionaire or simply gain more control and peace around your finances, Tresa's wisdom and guidance can help you make the shift. "We can grow the way we love and respect and trust ourselves, and then our behavior with money will change, and the outward results will change."

By doing the work of forgiveness and healing past hurts, we build a solid foundation for success across all life arenas.
