    2026/05/25
    Jacqueline Richards—author, educator, and financial professional—joins the show to share a powerful story of resilience, purpose, and redefining personal worth. From her early days in the service industry to building a career in mortgages and financial education, Jacqueline's journey is anything but conventional. In this episode, Jacqueline dives into the inspiration behind her book Yoga for Your Personal Finances, explaining how money, mindset, and energy are more connected than we think. She also reflects on her experience advocating for women in business, confronting outdated biases, and helping others step into their financial confidence. Jacqueline also opens up about her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis and how she's chosen to live a life rooted in strength, intention, and "no regrets." This conversation is a reminder that no matter your circumstances, you have the power to define your path—and your worth.
