I want to teach you the secret wisdom of creating wealth and asserting power, as a woman… wisdom which took me over 40 years to figure out.

I grew up relying on my father (the “R” of H&R Block), then my husband, to manage my inheritance. But early in my marriage, I found out my husband was a compulsive gambler. And here’s the insane part — I continued to let him handle all our finances because that’s how scared and intimidated I was by money.

That didn’t change until a devastating financial crisis became a personal wake-up call. I got tax bills for over $1m for illegal deals my ex got us in. He’d left the country. I didn’t have anywhere close to $1m. And my father wouldn’t lend me the money. I had three daughters — one just a baby, and I was not going to raise them on the street. That’s when I knew I had to get smart. And I did.

I share my journey to financial independence in hopes of inspiring, and even better, motivating YOU to become smart (or smarter) with money… and earn more than you’re making now. It’s much simpler and more in your control than you may realize.

My life took a miraculous turn when I began, as a former journalist, interviewing financially savvy women.

I discovered a surprising series of insights that all these women shared — insights that enabled them (and eventually, me) to get smart about money. Those insights became the core of my first book, Prince Charming Isn’t Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money (Penguin).

Suddenly, I was a financial expert, with a whole new career, traveling the country educating women about money. But I couldn’t make money, at least not very much, no matter how hard I worked. That’s when my mentor, Karen McCall, told me I was an underearner.

“I am not!” I protested. “I’m a writer. Everyone knows writers don’t make money!!!”

I truly believed that until I decided to focus my research on women’s earnings. Rather than concentrate on the wage gap and gender barriers, I turned my attention to the women who were breaking those barriers. I interviewed over 150 women who made $100,000 or more.

My goal: to find out how they did it, if I could too, and how to avoid the pitfalls along the way.

From this new research came my next book, Secrets of Six Figure Women: Surprising Strategies to Up Your Earnings and Change Your Life (HarperCollins).

I not only uncovered the secrets that enabled these women to become financially successful, but for the first time in my life, I became a six-figure woman — before I even finished writing the book.

At the same time, I began giving Overcoming Underearning® seminars to teach others what I was learning.

You cannot change the past, but you can take the lessons you have learned along the way and grow towards your best self. Being your best self is not solely about doing for yourself either, it is about helping others find their purpose.

Style has always been important to Barbara and it is not about the brands that you wear, but in how you carry yourself! She believes that everyone is here for a purpose and you need to carry yourself with confidence.  Barbara is all about swiping to left on your fears and self-doubt and swiping to the right for your future. People are going to judge you, so give them something to judge you about! Barbara believes that you need to live outside of your comfort zone and take your style and purpose and rock it!

Adventure is how Barbara has always gone through life and how she teaches her children to live each and every day! Your life is one big adventure and you need to take your style and purpose and go on your own adventure. Live your best life and have no regrets and find gratitude for the lessons you have learned along the way.

Barbara has taken her life lessons and created the 14-Day Accountability plan that sets the groundwork for crushing lofty goals and teaches you consistency, and habits and rituals that will last a lifetime.

Once you take that first step and begin creating real change, you will begin living your life.
