  045: Money, Freedom, and Choice: Abby Anderson on Women and Wealth

  Aug 18, 202624 min

  In this episode of The Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with Abby Anderson for a candid conversation about women, money, and the freedom that comes from understanding what you have and what you want. From getting a clear picture of your finances to having a voice in financial decisions, Abby challenges women to stop avoiding money and start seeing it as a tool for creating choices. Together, they explore scarcity, abundance, leadership, and why building wealth begins with awareness. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Financial empowerment begins with awareness. Know what you have, what you owe, and where your money is going. • Women need to be part of financial conversations and confident speaking up about their goals, questions, and priorities. • Money is a tool, not the destination. The real goal is having the freedom and choices to create the life you want. • Getting more money into the hands of women and more women into decision-making roles can change families, businesses, and communities. • Moving beyond scarcity requires more than earning more. It also requires examining your beliefs about money, worth, and what is possible. FAVORITE QUOTES: • “Everything starts with awareness.” • “We’re not chasing a number. We’re chasing freedom.” • “For me, freedom is choice.” • “To have more, we have to become more.” • “You need to be in the room.” LINKS & REFERENCES: • Love Money, Money Loves You MORE ABOUT ABBY ANDERSON: Abby Anderson is an Coach, Facilitator and EOS Implementer with over 17+ years of experience growing and leading businesses from the inside out. Having been directly involved in more than 20 acquisitions, she knows firsthand what it actually takes to scale not just the highlight reel, but the hard decisions, the pivots, and the moments that truly define where a company ends up.

  Jul 28, 202624 min

  In Part 2 of their conversation, hosts Tracie Munce and Lisa Carmichael welcome back Dr. Kathy Sullivan, CEO and President of Operation Dignity International, to explore what it takes to create change that lasts. Kathy shares how listening first, building strong partnerships, and strengthening local systems are transforming healthcare, clean water, education, and economic opportunity in Ghana. This episode is a powerful reminder that sustainable leadership isn't about doing more for people but it's about empowering people to build a stronger future for themselves.

FAVORITE QUOTES: • "When you restore dignity to a person, an entire community rises with them." • "It wasn't our solution. It was their dream." • "It takes people to get the work done, but it takes a system to create sustainability." • "If you don't like change, honey, get used to it." • "You can take that next step, even though you're absolutely scared to death."

  Jul 21, 202616 min

  In this episode of the Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce and Lisa Carmichael welcome Dr. Kathy Sullivan, CEO and President of Operation Dignity International. Kathy shares how personal loss, courageous leadership, and a commitment to listening before leading have shaped her work alongside communities in Ghana. Together, they explore sustainable leadership, building systems that last, and why lasting change begins with dignity, collaboration, and empowering others to achieve their own vision. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Sustainable leadership begins by listening, building trust, and empowering communities rather than creating dependency. • Lasting impact comes from developing systems that continue serving people long after individual leaders are gone. • Collaboration with local leaders creates stronger, more sustainable solutions than working alone. • Personal loss and life's transitions can become opportunities to lead with renewed purpose and courage. • Every entrepreneur and leader has the opportunity to create a legacy that extends beyond themselves. FAVORITE QUOTES: • "It takes people to get the work done, but it takes a system to create sustainability." • "When we restore dignity to a person, an entire community rises with them." • "It is their dream, not ours. How can we help make their dream a reality?" • "You have to do what you really have to do to get where you want to go." • "You can take the next step, even though you're frightened."

  040: From Little Birdy Buddies to Bold Confidence with Heather Boschke

  Jul 14, 202628 min

  In this episode of the Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael welcome strategic marketing leader, author, artist, and educator Heather Boschke for a conversation about identity, creativity, and courage. Heather shares how a simple love of drawing birds became the Little Birdy Buddies brand, why so many women struggle to own the titles they've earned, and how authenticity remains our greatest advantage in a world increasingly shaped by AI. This episode is a reminder that confidence doesn't come before action. It grows each time we choose to show up as ourselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • The hardest title to claim is often the one you've already earned. • Authenticity and human connection will always be more valuable than trying to imitate someone else or rely on AI. • Building a meaningful brand happens through consistent action, even when no one seems to be watching. • Community and supportive relationships help women move beyond imposter syndrome and step into their potential. • Joy, creativity, and purpose often lead to opportunities we could never have planned. FAVORITE QUOTES: • "I am an author and an artist, and I am claiming those titles now." • "When you're in service of something bigger than yourself, it becomes easier to put yourself out there." • "Sometimes it's just returning to the things that offer us joy and letting beautiful things grow from there." • "There is no box holding us back except the one we put ourselves in." • "Remember who the f you are. Everything you need is already within you."

  039: Taking Charge of Your Health: Rethinking Insurance, Wellness, and Personal Responsibility with Amy Nielsen

  Jul 7, 202626 min

  BRIEF OVERVIEW: In this episode of the Power Lunch Podcast, hosts Tracie Munce, Amy Sousa, and Lisa Carmichael sit down with health insurance broker and health coaching enthusiast Amy Nielsen to explore a different approach to healthcare. Together, they discuss understanding your health insurance options, becoming your own health advocate, and why taking personal responsibility for your well-being can lead to better long-term outcomes. From traditional insurance and health share programs to root-cause healing and alternative wellness approaches, this conversation encourages listeners to ask better questions and make informed decisions about their health. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Understanding your health insurance options empowers you to make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary costs. Traditional insurance, cash-pay models, and health share programs each serve different needs depending on your health goals and lifestyle. Taking an active role in your healthcare can lead to more personalized treatment, lower costs, and better outcomes. Addressing the root cause of illness rather than simply managing symptoms may support long-term healing and wellness. Investing in your health today is one of the most important decisions you can make for your future. FAVORITE QUOTES: You want to make sure your healthcare experience lifts you up, not turns you into a chronic managed patient. There are problem solvers who throw Band-Aids on everything, and there are solution finders who go to the root. Your body has always been trying to keep you alive more than you want to stay alive. Starting now, while it's easy, is the time to do it because there's nothing more important than your body. If everybody healed the same way, we'd all get sick the same way.
