When it comes to financial transformation, few books bridge the gap between brain science and wealth building like Rewire for Wealth by Barbara Huson. Formerly known as Barbara Stanny, author Barbara Huson is no stranger to financial empowerment. With decades of experience in coaching women around money and mindset, she brings a refreshing blend of psychology, neuroscience, and practical wisdom in this transformative read. In Rewire for Wealth, Huson shares a simple yet powerful method to change how you think and feel about money. And, it all begins in the brain! The Premise Behind Rewire For Wealth The book shows readers how to change their brain patterns related to wealth. Barbara Huson uses neuroscience to explain money habits. She reveals that many behaviors come from subconscious beliefs formed in early life. These beliefs often involve scarcity, self-worth, or financial success.They become wired into the brain and guide how we earn, spend, and invest. Huson’s three-step approach centers around: This mental reprogramming, she argues, is essential for true wealth building. And it’s not just about mindset — it’s about literally rewiring your brain for abundance. Why Rewire for Wealth Stands Out There are countless books on money management, but Rewire For Wealth goes deeper. It focuses not on tactics and budgets, but on the inner game of money — the subconscious drivers of our financial choices. Huson’s approach is especially valuable for those who have tried traditional financial strategies but still feel stuck. Her background in both finance and psychology gives her a unique voice. Throughout the book, author Barbara Husonshares client stories, neuroscience…

Jen Du Plessis: Success is sweeter when it’s unexpected. Tell Me I Can’t, and I’ll show you the impossible made real

Liz Rubico September 21, 2024 September 20, 2024Meet The Authors

Success is sweeter when it’s unexpected. Tell me I can’t, and I’ll show you the impossible made real. There’s something about being told, “you can’t” that just hits different, isn’t there? For some, it’s discouraging—like a weight pulling them down. But for others, it’s the spark that ignites a fire within. In Tell Me I Can’t, Jen Du Plessis talks about this exact feeling, about using that doubt as fuel to make the impossible possible. When someone tells you, “you can’t,” it’s tempting to believe them, especially if the odds seem stacked against you. But that’s where the magic happens. You get to make a choice: do you accept that as truth, or do you take it as a challenge to push harder and prove that anything is possible? For Jen, and for so many of us who’ve been counted out, the choice is simple—we prove them wrong. And here’s the thing—success is never easy. It’s messy. It’s full of long nights, quiet sacrifices, and moments of doubt. But when you achieve it, especially when no one expects you to, there’s no feeling quite like it. Jen captures this perfectly in her book. She talks about how those small, unexpected wins become personal victories. When people don’t see it coming, that success feels even sweeter, like you’ve quietly snuck in and claimed something that was meant for you all along. When people say “you can’t,” they’re not just doubting your ability—they’re trying to put limits on what you can achieve. But…

Joanna Kleinman: What if the voice in your head that says ‘you’re not good enough’ isn’t your true voice at all?

Liz Rubico September 13, 2024 September 11, 2024Meet The Authors

What if the voice in your head that constantly tells you that you’re not good enough isn’t really your own? That voice, the inner critic that doubts us all the time, challenges us, and destroys our confidence, is something that many of us are all too familiar with. It may sound so powerful, whispering things like “You’ll never succeed” or “You’re not smart enough,” but the startling fact is that this voice isn’t actually your own. This critical inner monologue isn’t a reflection of who you are, according to Joanna Kleinman’s book Dethroning Your Inner Critic: The Four-Step Journey from Self-Doubt to Self-Empowerment. It’s a story you’ve been telling yourself, shaped over time by internalized pressures, traumatic events, and worries. Consider this: How often do we allow our inner critic to take charge? That voice that tells us we’re not good enough causes us to doubt ourselves, shy away from difficulties, and turn off possibilities. But according to Kleinman, this voice is nothing more than a pattern—a habit of thought that we’ve learned to believe. It doesn’t represent our authentic self. So, if it’s not who we really are, what do we do about it? Kleinman’s book offers a transformative path out of this self-doubt. She lays out a four-step process designed to help us recognize the inner critic for what it is—a false narrative that keeps us stuck. The first step is recognizing that this voice isn’t yours. It’s an old script, often influenced by past criticisms, failures, or…
