The Purse Podcast interview (#134): Barbara Huson
Who she is:
Barbara Huson (formerly known as Barbara Stanny), is a leading authority on women, wealth, and power. She is dedicated to empowering women to take control of their finances and reach their full potential.
With a background in business, journalism, a master’s degree in counselling psychology, and extensive personal and professional research, Barbara brings a unique perspective to financial education and coaching.
She is the best-selling author of seven books, including Rewire for Wealth (2021), and has inspired millions through her work as a financial therapist, teacher, and wealth coach.
What she did:
On the The Purse Podcast (#134), Barbara Huson talks about her book Sacred Success. Barbara shares how combining spiritual principles with practical financial decisions can transform the way women approach money.
She outlines four steps to financial success: mastering practical money skills, addressing emotional barriers, aligning finances with life purpose, and reshaping thoughts about money.
Barbara also highlights common struggles women face, such as negative self-talk and fear of power, and emphasises the importance of supportive communities and living in alignment with one’s values. She encourages women to see money not just as a means of earning but as a powerful tool to fulfil their purpose and create meaningful change.
Key takeaways:
Change how you see money: think of money as a tool to help you live your best life and do what matters most, instead of something to be scared of or feel bad about.
Grow yourself and your support team: learn smart money skills, work on feeling good about yourself, and spend time with people who support your growth.
Focus on what really matters: success isn’t just about making money—it’s about using it to make a difference, follow your dreams, and stay true to who you are.
