In this episode of the Next Level Women Podcast, Jennifer Perri sits down with Smart Money Strategist Anna Felix to explore how financial confidence becomes one of the greatest acts of self-leadership. After losing her husband and then her mother just 39 days later, Anna found herself navigating grief while trying to understand a financial system that felt overwhelming and inaccessible. Instead of allowing that experience to define her, she transformed it into a mission to help other women become financially confident and prepared for whatever life brings.

Together, Jennifer and Anna unpack the emotional side of money, why so many women avoid financial conversations, and how building financial confidence begins with understanding your relationship with money rather than simply managing numbers. They discuss practical habits that every woman should develop, the importance of asking questions without fear or judgment, and why it's never too early or too late to take ownership of your financial future.

This conversation is a reminder that financial empowerment is not about perfection. It's about creating clarity, making intentional decisions, and trusting yourself enough to take the next step. Whether you're navigating a divorce, widowhood, career transition, retirement planning, or simply want a healthier relationship with money, you'll leave this episode feeling encouraged, equipped, and hopeful about what's possible.

Key Takeaways

Financial confidence begins with honest conversations and understanding your relationship with money, not with having all the answers.

Major life transitions can become powerful turning points when we choose to seek support, ask better questions, and take intentional action.

No matter where you are financially today, it is never too late to build a stronger foundation and create a future that reflects your values, your goals, and the life you're choosing to lead.

In this episode of the Next Level Women Podcast, Jennifer Perri welcomes Brittany Blackman, founder of Discover Freedom, for a heartfelt conversation about what happens when the life you've built no longer feels aligned with who you're becoming. Together, they explore identity shifts, leadership, emotional freedom, and the courage to choose differently before burnout chooses for you.

Through personal stories and practical wisdom, Brittany shares how she learned to recognize the quiet signs of misalignment, let go of perfectionism and people pleasing, and redefine success on her own terms. Jennifer adds her own perspective on resilience, choice, and creating a life rooted in purpose rather than performance.

Key Takeaways

Success on paper doesn't always translate to fulfillment. Sometimes the greatest act of courage is admitting that something no longer fits and giving yourself permission to choose a different path.

Every "yes" comes with a sacrifice. Learning to protect your energy, set healthy boundaries, and become intentional about what you carry is essential to living and leading well.

Emotional freedom begins with self-awareness. When you understand your needs, quiet the inner chatter, and align your choices with your values, you create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

In this episode of Next Level Women, Jennifer Perri welcomes brand strategist and author Rhonda Caudill for an inspiring conversation about the identity shift behind visibility.

From navigating self-doubt and imposter syndrome to embracing authenticity and purpose, Rhonda shares the deeply personal experiences that transformed the way she leads, serves, and shows up in the world. This episode is an invitation to stop waiting for permission and start trusting the woman you're becoming.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why visibility starts with identity, not confidence.

• Practical ways to move beyond perfectionism and embrace your unique gifts.

Your next level begins with the courage to be seen.

In this episode of Next Level Women, Jennifer Perri sits down with emotional mastery and mindset coach Diana Murphy for a deeply honest conversation about the emotional cost of holding everything together. Together, they explore how high-achieving women often lose themselves in the pursuit of success, productivity, and caring for everyone around them.

Drawing from both professional experience and personal transformation, Diana shares how navigating divorce, reinvention, and major life transitions taught her the power of honoring difficult emotions instead of suppressing them. The conversation offers a refreshing perspective on emotional mastery, self-compassion, boundaries, and what it truly means to come back home to yourself.

Key Takeaways:

Success should never require you to disconnect from who you are. When women learn to honor their emotional experiences rather than override them, they gain access to greater clarity, intuition, and self-trust.

Burnout and misalignment are not the same thing. While burnout often stems from external pressures and expectations, misalignment can be a deeper signal that something within your life, relationships, or identity is asking to change.

The path to your next level begins with emotional honesty. The emotions you've been avoiding may hold the wisdom, clarity, and direction you've been searching for.

If you're navigating change, feeling overwhelmed, or questioning what comes next, this episode offers powerful insight and compassionate encouragement for the journey ahead.

In this episode of Next Level Women, Jennifer Perri sits down with holistic leadership coach, entrepreneur, author, and speaker Jenna D'Annunzio to explore the inner work that supports sustainable success. Jenna shares her personal journey from survival mode to aligned leadership and offers powerful insights into the subconscious beliefs that often keep women stuck in burnout, self-doubt, and overachievement.

Together, they discuss emotional intelligence, self-worth, authentic leadership, gratitude, and the importance of believing that you belong in the spaces you're called to occupy. This conversation is filled with wisdom for women who are ready to stop proving themselves and start leading from a place of alignment and confidence.

Key Takeaways

Many women unknowingly operate from limiting beliefs such as "I don't belong," "I'm not enough," or "I can't have what I want." These beliefs can quietly drive burnout and self-abandonment.

Sustainable success requires more than strategy. It requires inner alignment, emotional awareness, and the willingness to challenge subconscious patterns that no longer serve you.

The version of yourself you're becoming is built through daily choices, self-trust, and the belief that you are worthy of the life, success, and opportunities you're seeking.

In this episode of Next Level Women, Jennifer Perri sits down with Sarah Eggleston, founder and CEO of fflow, for a powerful conversation about self-trust, leadership, entrepreneurship, and the identity shifts that happen when we choose ourselves.

Sarah shares her journey from software developer to founder, the challenges of working in a male-dominated industry, and the moment she realized she needed to stop handing her ideas to others and start building them herself. Together, Jennifer and Sarah explore confidence, resilience, women in STEM, and what it takes to become the leader you're meant to be.

Key Takeaways

Many women don't struggle because they lack talent. They struggle because they're waiting for certainty before taking the next step. This conversation is a reminder that growth often happens before confidence arrives.

Leadership is an identity shift before it is a title. Sarah's journey demonstrates what happens when we stop seeking permission and begin trusting ourselves enough to act.

Entrepreneurship isn't about having all the answers. It's about being willing to learn, adapt, and keep moving forward even when the path ahead is uncertain.

In this episode of Next Level Women, Jennifer Perri sits down with Jackie Cook, Founder & CEO of Momentum Group, for a grounded and deeply honest conversation about reinvention, self-trust, leadership, and learning how to move forward before certainty arrives.

Together, they explore the pressure many women feel to have everything figured out before they begin, the emotional exhaustion that comes from shrinking in rooms that no longer fit, and why clarity is often built through movement, not perfection.

Jackie shares powerful insight on navigating uncertainty in high-stakes environments, trusting your voice before the proof exists, and redefining leadership as a practice of navigation rather than control.

Key Takeaways:

• Leadership today requires navigation, not perfection.
• Women often believe confidence should come before movement, but confidence is built through movement itself.
• Clarity is created in real time.
• You do not need every answer before taking the next step. Momentum happens when you begin moving forward.
• The right rooms matter. Many women lose confidence in environments that require them to shrink. Growth often requires finding spaces that allow your full voice and leadership to exist.
