Success shouldn't feel like a cage. In this episode, Hadriana Leo explores the "Golden Handcuffs"—the psychological trap where a high salary provides security but lacks fulfillment.

If you are a high-achieving professional woman earning well but feeling paralyzed by financial complexity or "Imposter Earner" mindset, this conversation is for you. Hadriana unpacks the strategic shift from building fear-based "escape hatches" to architecting proactive, values-aligned "Freedom Funds."

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to diagnose your specific "Wealth Blindspot."
• Why budgeting is the "handcuffs" and values-based allocation is the "expression."
• How to step into the role of the confident CEO of your wealth.

Success is more than numbers—it’s about the architecture of your internal world.

This week on Catalyst Conversations, Hadriana Leo welcomes Chantal Fraser, Thought Partner and founder of Empowered Path, Inc.

Chantal brings a unique perspective shaped by a 28-year career in the Canadian Armed Forces (retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel) and her heritage as a proud citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario. In this powerful episode, we explore:

• The Safety Gap: Why you can't take the bold risks required for legacy if you don't feel psychologically or culturally safe.

• Energy vs. Currency: Why money is best understood as an "elegant exchange of energy".

• Identity Shifts: How to navigate the evolution from rigid structures (like the military) to intuitive leadership.

• Trusting the Unfolding: How to distinguish between fear-based discomfort and the "gut curl" of misalignment.

If you are a high-achieving woman feeling "stuck" despite your success, Chantal’s insights on creating safe spaces will help you find the agency to make your next wise decision.
