Women, Wealth and What Matters: 5 Things with Tracy Byrnes
Money doesn’t have to be confusing. But for many women, it still feels that way. And it shouldn’t.
Women, Wealth and What Matters: 5 Things with Tracy Byrnes is a smart, straightforward podcast designed to help women feel more confident, informed, and in control of their financial lives.
Each episode breaks down one real-life money topic from retirement, taxes, and investing to divorce, career changes, and protecting what you’ve built, into five clear, practical takeaways you can actually use. No jargon. No hype. No complicated math.
Hosted by Tracy Byrnes, financial advisor, Vice President of Women & Investing at Lebenthal Global Advisors, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst. As a single mom of three adult kids who’s been divorced for nearly twenty years, Tracy understands just how personal money decisions really are.
This podcast isn’t about chasing trends or quick wins. It’s about asking better questions, understanding your options, and making smart choices for the life you’re building.
