Women are expected to control trillions of dollars in wealth over the next few decades.

But building wealth is only part of the equation.
 The real question is: what is it meant to do?

In this episode, Jackie Porter sits down with Dr. Lisa Trefzger—educator, social justice advocate, and researcher leading the Women in Philanthropy Initiative at Carleton University—to unpack the growing intersection between money, purpose, and legacy.

Together, they explore how high-earning women can move beyond accumulation and start making intentional, values-driven decisions with their wealth.

This conversation covers:

  •  The rise of women’s wealth and the coming great wealth transfer
  •  Why many high-earning women feel unprepared for the responsibility that comes with it 
  •  The difference between earning, giving, and creating real impact
  •  How to align your investments and financial decisions with your values 
  •  Common mistakes in philanthropy and how to avoid them 
  •  What legacy really means—beyond money, beyond inheritance 

If you’re a high-earning woman thinking about your next financial move—not just for today, but for the long term—this episode will challenge how you define success.

Because money alone doesn’t create impact.
 Clarity and intention do.
