THE PODCAST

Real Money with Lisa Chastain

Honest conversations about money, identity, and the decisions underneath both. New episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Money doesn't live in isolation.

Most money advice assumes we make decisions with a spreadsheet. We don't. We make them with the beliefs we inherited, the roles we were handed, and the pressure we carry into our marriages, businesses, and families. Real Money is where I talk about that part openly, with guests who have built real lives and are willing to say what it cost them and what it taught them.

Now in its fifth year, the show has widened its lens to include men: the expectations they inherited, the pressure to provide, and what money reveals about how all of us lead.
