Victoria Woods on Women, Money, and Our Future

On the Brink with Andi Simon

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 6, 2025 45:18

In this captivating episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I welcomes an unstoppable force in the world of finance, Victoria Woods—entrepreneur, wealth advisor, speaker, author, and the renowned Financial Diva. What makes Victoria's story so compelling isn't just her success in managing money for millionaires and billionaires—it's how she got there, and what she's teaching women everywhere about stepping into financial power. Victoria's journey began in humble, even challenging circumstances. Growing up poor, abandoned by her father at 11, she learned early how to hustle, survive, and eventually thrive. From organizing games for neighborhood kids to modeling for Montgomery Ward in exchange for school clothes, she was a born entrepreneur. But it was her uncanny ability to see opportunity where others saw limits that ultimately launched her into success. Women, It is Time To Master Your Money Her first “real” pivot came while working in retail. Rather than taking a promotion, she pitched a new concierge buying service to her boss—a bold move that soon had executives handing her their credit cards and letting her shop for their wardrobes. That fearless innovation caught the attention of a financial executive who saw something unique in Victoria: resilience, determination, and an uncanny knack for follow-through. He recruited her into the world of financial advising. Seven months later, Victoria took the leap—and never looked back. Now the founder and CEO of ChappelWood Financial Services in Edmond, Oklahoma, Victoria advises high-net-worth individuals, particularly women who are often underserved or underrepresented in wealth management. But her mission is broader: to educate and empower women about their finances, especially business owners who need to understand, not fear, their numbers. Watch our podcast video on YouTube here: Key Lessons from Victoria Woods on Women, Money and Mastering Your Future 1. Your Gut Is Your Superpower—But So Are Your Numbers. Victoria reminds listeners that while your instincts matter, success demands fluency in your financials. “If you're not comfortable with the numbers, you've got to get comfortable,” she says. “You should be able to read your profit and loss statements, understand your balance sheet, and question your accountant.” Her practical advice: take an accounting class—even if you're already running a company. Know your numbers or risk being run by them. 2. Don't Outsource What You Don't Understand. Too many women assume someone else—often a spouse—will handle their finances. Victoria pushes back. “90% of women will manage their own money at some point in their life,” she says. “You must know what you own, owe, spend, and invest.” Whether you're growing a business, selling one, or inheriting one, financial literacy is not optional. 3. Exit on Your Own Terms. One of Victoria's most powerful messages is about preparing for what's next. Succession planning, business exits, and legacy planning all require strategic thought before there's a crisis. “Don't plan in the middle of a tornado,” she says. “Start when the sun is shining.” She shares how she's guided women through inheriting family businesses, navigating complex buyouts, and staying strong in boardrooms full of skeptics. 4. Build Your Team with Intention. When hiring financial advisors, accountants, or legal professionals, Victoria encourages women to trust both their head and their heart. “Would you want to have dinner with this person every month?” she asks. Chemistry and clarity matter. Her book, It's All About the Money, Honey!, includes practical questions women should ask potential advisors—plus the answers they should expect to hear. 5. Serve First, Sell Second. At the heart of her success is a simple philosophy: be the easy button. Whether solving a client's complex tax issue or finding an international attorney for a property dispute, her focus is always service. That's how she built a practice with 100% retention and a global clientele. “Clients don't want more work,” she says. “They want someone who makes their lives easier.” You can read more in her book, "It's All About the Money, Honey," on Amazon. Why This Conversation about Money and Women Matters Now Women control more wealth today than at any time in history, and the number of women-owned businesses is soaring. Yet many still feel unprepared to manage that wealth with confidence. This episode is a powerful reminder that financial empowerment is about knowledge, confidence, and the courage to ask questions. As Victoria says, “Don't take advice from broke people—physically, financially, or spiritually.” Whether you're launching a startup, scaling a company, or planning a graceful exit, take time to get financially fluent. The future is female—and she should be well-funded. Learn More To learn more about Victoria Woods, visit ChappelWood.com or search for The Financial Diva online. You can also find her book It's All About the Money on Amazon and listen to selected chapters she's recorded to hear her passion and humor come alive. Ready to get off the brink?

In this powerful episode, Dr. Dan sits down with Shauna Brittenham Reiter, author of You Are the Boss of You: Cultivate the Mindset and Tools to Live Life on Your Own Terms and founder of Alaya Naturals, a holistic health wellness company. Shauna's journey is inspiring. Diagnosed with Crohn's disease as a teenager, congenital neutropenia in her twenties, and a heart condition in her thirties, Shauna's battles with her health led to a profound story of radical healing. Her path took her from a psychiatric hospital at the age of nineteen to the creation of a multimillion-dollar wellness company before the age of forty. Dr. Dan and Shauna deep dive into the importance of confronting emotional pain and reparenting the parts of ourselves that feel out of control. They also discuss overcoming perfectionism, embracing self-advocacy, and healing deep-seated trauma. Shauna's journey of healing and self-discovery proves that anything is possible when we face our pain, nurture the world within, and push past the mental barriers holding us back. This transformative conversation will empower listeners to chase their biggest dreams and live life on their terms. For more information and follow @shaunabrittenhamreiter on Instagram.

Here's the truth most people miss: words don't move people—energy does. Conviction does. That unapologetic, full-bodied certainty that what you're building is changing lives, shifting timelines, altering realities. That's the moment people stop scrolling and start listening. That's when clients throw their money at you because your power bypasses their logic and speaks straight to their nervous system. And you don't get there by playing safe or waiting for evidence—you get there by being willing to feel it all.By holding the discomfort, loving the fear, dancing with the doubt, and still fucking moving. That's the game. That's the work. The million-dollar version of you? They're not waiting. They're already here.

Too many entrepreneurs are stuck in the cycle of always having to show up, post, sell, and push just to keep the money flowing. But if you want real wealth—the kind that moves while you live, create, and exist—then your mindset has to shift from one way to make money to money moves for me in multiple ways. That's the shift I've been making, and the one I'm teaching my artists to make. Because fuck you money isn't just about stacking cash—it's about building something that lasts, something that doesn't crumble the moment you take a break.So ask yourself: Am I running a business that demands my presence, or am I creating a brand that thrives even when I'm not in the room?

As we move through life, there's one undeniable truth—we change. Our energy shifts, our priorities evolve, and the things that once seemed like the center of the universe suddenly don't carry the same weight. And you know what? That's okay.In this week's FWACATA Podcast, I talked about energy—how we gain it, how we lose it, and how to make the most of what we've got.Remember when you could stay up all night, wake up the next day, and still power through like a champion? Yeah, that changes. As we age, our energy becomes less of a bottomless pit and more like an old phone battery—it still works, but it doesn't quite charge to 100% anymore.And that's where perspective kicks in. Instead of fighting against time, instead of reminiscing about what used to be, maybe the trick is to make the most of where you are now.Too often, people tie happiness to achievement—the job, the money, the status. But if those things don't bring you peace, what's the point? The real goal is finding joy in the simple things—a good meal, an hour of creative work, a well-earned nap.Happiness isn't in some far-off dream; it's in the tiny moments—moments you can create for yourself every single day. Recharge when you need to. Don't let the world guilt you into thinking rest equals laziness. Stop chasing empty validation. Create for YOU first, not for approval. Find your small joys. A cup of coffee, a sketchbook, a favorite snack—sometimes that's all you need.Because at the end of the day, life isn't about how much you accomplish—it's about whether you enjoyed the ride.So go outside. Eat something delicious. Laugh at something ridiculous. Make today a day worth remembering.

You Know You've Built a Movement When… You know you've built a movement when your name is used to sell things—whether it's brands wanting you to rep their cause, artists using you as a reference (for better or worse), or your presence alone is enough to get people talking. That's not just business. That's legacy. And let's be real—being booked out is the bare minimum. You show up, create, build relationships, and yeah, you'll fill your books. That's not the conversation I want to have anymore. The real conversation? Building a brand so undeniable, so magnetic, that your offers don't need a hard sell. The moment you whisper a new idea, people are asking, When can I pay you? Not if. That's not luck—it's positioning. It's emotional anchoring. It's understanding the psychology behind why people buy and making sure your brand hits that deep, gut-level I need this feeling. And if your brand isn't doing that yet? Then you're blending in. — Branded & Booked For the creative entrepreneur, artist, and healer ready to turn their multi-passionate genius into a high-end, booked-out brand.
