Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Black Woman in the Corner Office, I sit down with Lisa Stringer Bailey, a woman who has lived both sides of the financial coin. From the military to the conference room to entrepreneurship, Lisa gets real about the turning points that shifted her from simply working in finance to walking in her purpose as a financial educator and advocate.

We talk about what it looks like when you know the rules of money—but you’re not living them. Lisa shares her personal wake-up call, how she turned pain into purpose, and why she believes financial literacy is more than numbers—it’s legacy, discipline, and favor.

This conversation will push you to face your finances, rethink your money habits, and start conversations at your own kitchen table about generational wealth.

Key Takeaways:

• 💡 Financial education isn’t optional—it’s empowerment, especially for underserved communities.
• 🛠️ Personal pain, like losing a loved one without insurance, can be not only emotionally devastating, but financially devastating.
• 🎯 Lisa’s “FOCUS Framework” (Face, Organize, Communicate, Understand, Succeed) offers a roadmap for managing money.
• 🙌 Faith + Finances = Favor. Bringing spirituality into money management changes the game.
• 🗣️ It’s time to normalize money conversations with our families and build legacies that last.
