with host artist Miriam Schulman
Barbara Huson’s story is proof that financial struggles can transform into wealth and empowerment. She opens up about how decades of under-earning shaped her path to becoming a financial therapist and best-selling author. Together we dive into the mindset shifts and practical steps that help women, including artists, break free from financial limitations. This conversation is about power, purpose, and learning to embrace discomfort as the doorway to success.
“A powerful woman is someone who knows who she is, who knows what she wants, and expresses that in the world unapologetically.” – Barbara Huson
In this podcast, you will discover…
- Learn why under-earning is about more than money
- Hear what “sacred success” means and how it can guide your career
- Discover the three main reasons women often stay stuck financially
- Explore how to rewire your brain with simple mindset practices
“Under-earning never is a conscious choice. It never feeds your soul. It is always a condition of deprivation and not just of money, but of time, of joy, of freedom, of choices. But most of all, of self-esteem.”– Barbara Huson

Listener shout out of the week!
One of the best pieces of advice I took from Miriam was to get myself on PodMatch and start dating: aka pitching myself for podcast interviews. I was nervous at first (hello imposter syndrome!), but I followed her lead, put myself out there, and guess what? I landed three podcast interviews through March! It’s been such a fun way to share my story, connect with new people, and grow my audience.
I’ll be on: Story Power with Lucinda Sage-Midgorden talking about storytelling and art; on Moving along with Christi Cassidy talking about my YouTube video series “walking for inspiration” and on Phantom Electric Ghost, talking about what made me want to be a creator (he reached out to me)
