“Your nervous system will always choose a familiar hell, rather than an unfamiliar heaven.”

Whew. We’ve all been in this dilemma.

This week on Women & Money The Shit We Don’t Talk About, we’re joined by Lisa Miller @Lisamiller.coach, relationship and divorce coach who helps people decide whether they wanna stay or go in their marriage and then supports them through the entire process, regardless if they stay or go.

You don’t need a million dollars to start building wealth, you need time.

Happy Black History Month! In this episode, we sit down with Chelsea Ransom-Cooper, CFP® the Co-Founder and Chief Financial Planning Officer of Zenith Wealth Partners, a black-owned wealth management firm on a mission to generate $1 billion in wealth for women and people of color. Chelsea is not only leading a firm; she’s cultivating the next generation of diverse financial planners who are committed to helping first-generation wealth builders take confident steps toward financial freedom.

We talk about why waiting is the most expensive decision women make, how money discipline does not have to mean deprivation, and why so many women are focused on becoming work optional instead of retired.

Chelsea shares her journey into wealth management, emphasizing the importance of financial education, particularly for black women and first-generation wealth builders. The conversation covers topics such as overcoming financial challenges, the value of early financial planning, and the concept of 'work optional' lifestyles. Chelsea also discusses effective strategies for managing cash flow, the significance of building a lasting legacy, and tips for transitioning from employment to entrepreneurship.

You don’t need the “right” background to make real change.

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that leadership doesn’t come from perfect resumes or polished pathways. It comes from lived experience, values, and the courage to step forward when something isn’t right.

We’re joined by Representative Emily Weber, who represents Jackson County District 24 in the Missouri House of Representatives. Emily shares her journey from growing up as an adopted kid in rural Kansas and earning an art degree, to becoming the first Asian American woman elected to Missouri’s General Assembly.

Emily opens up about what pushed her into politics, how imposter syndrome almost stopped her from running, and why representation truly matters. We talk about money, power, confidence, and what happens when women stop waiting to be “qualified enough” and start showing up anyway.

This conversation is honest, grounding, and motivating. Especially if you’ve ever thought, “Who am I to do this?”

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure where your power actually lives, this episode will meet you right there.
