Is your money mindset holding you back from going to the next level in your life? Do you fear change and feelings of discomfort? Find out how you can change all that through the power of neuroplasticity as I chat with Barbara Huson.
Barbara Huson, formerly Barbara Stanny is a best-selling author, financial therapist, wealth coach, and the leading authority on women, wealth, and power.
In this episode, Barbara shares how she learned all about money the hard way and how she became the woman she is today.
She discusses what neuroplasticity is and how she incorporates it into her work. In detail, she gives the three steps on how to rewire our brain for wealth and how to know if it’s working for us.
Barbara also talks about her experience of being codependent, how it manifested in her money and relationships and how she dealt with it.
We also touched on ways to face the fear of change especially as it relates to wealth, how to deal with discomfort and what differentiates highly successful women from the rest.
