What Nobody Tells Successful Women About Money — with Leah Hadley

June 23, 2026·17 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Most successful women have built something significant.A thriving practice.A growing business.A career of genuine accomplishment. And somewhere in the middle of building all of that the conversation about their own money — their personal wealth, their financial independence, their long-term security completely separate from the business — never quite happened the way it should have.Leah Hadley is a financial advisor who works specifically with high-achieving women and who has seen this pattern more times than she can count.The woman who manages millions for her clients and has never properly managed her own. The founder who built a seven figure business and has no personal financial plan outside of it.The physician whose income is extraordinary and whose personal wealth strategy is nonexistent.In this episode Maria Fontana and Leah Hadley have the money conversation that most successful women are not having with anyone in their current world — honest, direct, and completely specific to the woman who has earned significant income and is ready to ensure that her personal financial life finally matches the level of everything else she has built.What you will hear in this episode — why successful women consistently underinvest in their own financial futures, the specific money mistakes that cost the most at the highest income levels, what genuine financial independence looks like for a high achieving woman and how to build it, and the conversation about money that every successful woman deserves to have and almost never does.https://www.intentionalwealthpartners.co/Grab a copy of Intentional Wealth : https://www.amazon.com/Intentional-Money-Modern-Building-Purpose/If you are a founder or business owner who has built something significant and you are exhausted, overwhelmed, and privately carrying something that nobody in your current world is positioned to address honestly — I want to hear from you.
