About Barbara Stanny
Barbara Stanny is a woman on a mission — a mission to motivate women to become financially empowered. Barbara grew up relying on her father (the ‘R’ of H&R Block), then her husband, to manage her money. A devastating financial crisis became her wake-up call. Her first book, Prince Charming Isn’t Coming, grew out of her interviews with financially savvy women. Her next two books, Secrets of Six Figure Women and Overcoming Underearning®, focused on helping women go from financial survival to financial stability. Her current focus is on helping women move from stability to affluence with a new body of work she calls Sacred Success™. Barbara defines Sacred Success™ as doing your Soul’s work for your own bliss and the benefit of others while being richly rewarded.
Barbara’s background in business, her years as a journalist, her Master’s Degree in psychology, her extensive research, and her personal experience with money give her a unique perspective and make her the foremost expert on women’s financial issues.
Barbara’s Coaching Suggestion
Barbara suggests that we think of our earliest memory of money and freeze it in our minds like a photograph. Now ask: what was going on in my life at that time? The answer to that question will give us a wealth of information regarding our beliefs about money.
