In this episode of Women, Wealth & Wisdom, host Anita Knotts sits down with Kathleen Burns Kingsbury, wealth psychology expert and author of Breaking Money Silence, for a dynamic conversation about women, money, and the power of speaking up.

Kathleen shares a personal childhood story about being told to “take a lunch break” — and how that moment planted the seed for her life’s work: helping women use their voice, especially when it comes to money.

Together, Anita and Kathleen explore:

• The mixed messages women receive about money and power in society
• The three biggest mindset blocks that hold women back from negotiating compensation — and how to overcome them
• How to have more confidence and even have fun talking about money
• Why it’s critical for advisors to better understand and support female clients

Whether you're navigating a raise, building a business, or guiding others in their financial journey, this conversation is a reminder that breaking the silence around money isn’t just brave — it’s transformational.

In this powerful debut episode, host Anita Knotts, founder of the Lotus Women’s Institute, shares why now is the moment to launch Women, Wealth & Wisdom — a podcast years in the making.

In conversation with marketing executive Pamela Von Lehmden, Anita opens up about her 30+ year journey in the wealth management industry, her experience as an Indian immigrant, and her mission to create a space where women’s voices, stories, and financial power are fully seen and heard.

You’ll hear stories from women in the corporate world, nonprofit sector, public office, and entrepreneurship — all sharing how they’ve navigated challenges, claimed their worth, and redefined success on their own terms. Together, their experiences reveal a powerful truth: when women are economically empowered, they don’t just change their own lives — they change the world.
