    Ep 327 – Mom Money Mindset: A Millionaire’s Guide to Thinking Bigger, Living Freer, and Building Real Wealth with Lisa M. Easton

    Send a text What if building wealth wasn’t about hustling harder—but about shifting your mindset? In this empowering episode of MomShine, Alicia sits down with Lisa M. Easton—speaker, coach, and self-made millionaire—to unpack the money myths holding moms back from financial freedom. From supporting high-net-worth individuals to building her own empire, Lisa knows that wealth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about how you think. You’ll learn: Why money isn’t the end-all for happiness (and what millionaires do differently). The surprising truth: you don’t need your own wealth to make money—you need belief and trust. Why self-care is one of the most powerful wealth strategies. How 15 minutes a day of goal-setting and scripting success can transform your future. The role of community and expanders in stretching what you believe is possible. If you’ve ever felt like financial freedom was for “other people,” this episode will inspire you to see success as something you can claim—today. Watch the video on YouTube, explore more at MomShine.co, and follow Lisa M. Easton for more on building Her Rich Life. 🏆 Award-Winning MomShine Podcast | Multiple Awards of Excellence & 11 Awards of Distinction from The Communicator Awards Thanks for listening!

This Wednesday on MomShine, I sit down with the awe-inspiring Maimah Karmo, a 20-year triple-negative breast cancer survivor and the visionary founder of the Tigerlily Foundation. Her journey from self-diagnosing her own tumor at 31 to becoming a national leader in women's health advocacy and health equity is truly remarkable.

We dive deep into: Self-Diagnosis & Resilience: Maimah's incredible story of trusting her body when doctors dismissed her concerns, and how she became her own first advocate. The Tigerlily Foundation's Impact: Discover how Maimah's foundation is making a difference through initiatives like the largest women's health symposium and nationwide advocacy training programs that empower women to speak up. Women's Health Policy & Progress: What's shifting in women's health policy under the current administration, what's still falling short, and crucial discussions around programs like 340B and their impact on patient access to care. Becoming an Angel Advocate: Learn how you can get involved, speak on Capitol Hill, and push for action to create real change in the healthcare system. (Yes, I'm personally looking into becoming an Angel Advocate for endometriosis!) Empowering the Next Generation: Practical advice for moms on how to teach our daughters to advocate for their health from a young age. This episode is a rallying cry for every woman to own your wellness and understand that your health is your greatest asset.
