Back to EpisodesThe Income Trap Keeping Women Stuck (Even on Good Money) | Jessica Conrick
Description
Why are so many high-earning women still financially stuck - earning more every year but building nothing?
In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Conrick - CPA, wealth strategist, and creator of the SF15™ framework (Self-Funded in 15 years).
Jess has helped thousands of women move from income reliance to genuine financial independence.
And her own story… from high school dropout and single mom to building a wealth framework changing women's financial futures… is a genuine ride.
Together, we unpack the income trap that catches even smart, successful women, why earning more won't fix it, and how to start converting income into income-producing assets using her three-phase SF15 system.
You'll also hear why your home might be a liability before it's an asset, the identity shift from consumer to investor that changes how every dollar moves through your life, and how to calculate your "freedom number".
