In this episode of Women of Wealth, Hawley sits down with powerhouse Dr. Lauren Powers—award-winning athlete, ten-time bodybuilding champion, stuntwoman, media personality, best-selling author, global speaker, and founder of Lauren Powers’ House of Body & Business. From being discriminated against as a firefighter for “not being strong enough” to becoming a 10x heavyweight bodybuilding champion and a Hollywood SAG actress, Lauren shares how faith, reinvention, and radical confidence have guided every chapter of her life.

She opens up about turning a gender discrimination lawsuit into fuel, competing and promoting in the bodybuilding world, pivoting during COVID into women’s empowerment, and now leading the Abundant Life Expo focused on health and wealth. Lauren and Hawley talk about faith over fear, shifting from lack to abundance, and what it really takes to walk into any room like Wonder Woman—spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

What We Cover in This Episode

• Lauren’s journey from firefighter to 10x bodybuilding champion—and how discrimination pushed her into her true strength.

In this episode of Women of Wealth…
We sit down with award-winning real estate agent and team leader June Lemmings, the powerhouse behind June’s Team with Keller Williams Realty in Greeley, Colorado. From a childhood spent in a burnout trailer with no electricity to becoming a foster child with $100 and three jobs, June’s story is one of radical resilience, relentless work ethic, and using real estate as a path to true generational wealth.

June shares how she rebuilt her life, repaired her credit, and learned real estate “from the backside in” working with an investor–then turned that knowledge into a top-performing team built on relationships, referrals, and community impact, not cold leads. She opens up about winning Best of Greeley, Colorado multiple years in a row, what it really takes to create a winning team culture, and why she’d rather pour into her past clients than pay for online leads.

For women who are first-time homebuyers, entrepreneurs, or simply curious about using real estate as a wealth vehicle, June breaks down practical strategies—from buying your first home, to house hacking with duplexes, to using DSCR loans and smart credit rebuilding to get in the game sooner than you think. She also gets real about balance, what happened when she lost 120 pounds, and why delegation, boundaries, and a strong morning routine have been key to sustaining seven-figure success.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• How June learned real estate through investment properties first, and why that shaped her passion for generational wealth.
• Why 86% of her business comes from past clients—and how client events, VIP experiences, and genuine relationships outperform internet leads.
• The culture equation behind June’s team: high standards, positivity, continuous growth (“green and growing, not ripe and rotten”), and the golden rule.
• Practical ideas for community-based marketing: seasonal events, charity tables, local women-in-business groups, and creating experiences your clients never forget.
• How June teaches first-time homebuyers to prepare: credit rebuilding, financial peace principles, and matching the right lender and loan product to each person.
• A simple breakdown of house hacking and DSCR loans—including examples of clients who went from first home to multiple rentals and no house payment.
• June’s honest take on 50-year mortgages, refinancing, and how to think long-term about interest, payments, and wealth building.
• The truth about balance as a single mom and business owner, why her health suffered, and how losing 120 pounds and prioritizing her morning routine changed everything.
• A powerful mindset reframe around time, delegation, and hiring your first assistant so you can double your impact without burning out.
• June’s favorite money book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, and her core belief that anyone can build wealth if they’re willing to learn and take action—no matter where they started.

We break down one of the most innovative and impactful offerings for today’s workforce: the Linqqs Health Management Plan (LHMP)—a health-and-wealth solution designed to give employees better care, employers better savings, and businesses a major competitive advantage… all at zero out-of-pocket cost.

We dive into the origins of health management plans within the Affordable Care Act and explain how LHMP evolved into a comprehensive solution that blends preventive healthcare, real-time medical access, mental health support, and retirement savings into one seamless experience.

• Zero-cost lab testing & mental health visits
• A physician-reviewed, personalized care plan
• An FSA funded with pre-tax dollars for everyday essentials
• Employer-funded SEP IRA contributions to build long-term retirement wealth
• Access to the Medical Bill Eraser & Care Advocate — a powerful benefit few know exists

🔹 What Employers Gain:

• Lower turnover through meaningful benefits
• Improved productivity with proactive healthcare
• Potential 20–30% long-term healthcare savings

Hawley and Allie walk you through the streamlined process:

1. Business owner completes a quick questionnaire
2. A 30–40 minute expert presentation
3. Census review to determine eligibility & savings
4. Creation of a benefits summary
5. 4–6 week employee education period
6. Open enrollment
7. Continued support for business owners + employees

🔹 Why This Matters Now

With rising healthcare costs, workforce shortages, and Social Security projected to reduce benefits by 2033, employees need preventive health support and private retirement strategies more than ever. LHMP offers both—beautifully packaged, fully compliant, and incredibly accessible.

In this episode of Women of Wealth… we sit down with new agent and natural hustler Vee Jones to pull back the curtain on what the first year in life insurance really looks like. From growing up in the Philippines without consistent electricity to crossing the six-figure mark in just eight months, Vee shares how her “no quit” mindset and deep family “why” pushed her through the rocky start every new agent faces.

You’ll hear how Vee went from running a photo booth side business to building a thriving book of business with Appreciation Financial, helping teachers and public employees understand their pensions, retirement options, and the power of guarantees. She talks candidly about making mistakes, being trained (and then becoming a trainer herself), and why she believes insurance is one of the best entry points into entrepreneurship - especially for women and moms who crave flexibility and financial independence.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re considering a career change, want more control over your time, or you’re curious what’s actually possible in your first year as a life insurance agent.

Who This Episode Is For

• Women who are burned out in corporate and craving more flexibility and upside.
• Moms who want to be present for their kids and build serious income.
• Side-hustlers wondering if it’s time to turn “extra cash” into a true career.
• Anyone curious what it really looks like to build a six-figure business in year one of life insurance.

In this episode of Women of Wealth… Allie sits with Pam Cytron, President of Founders Arena Wealth Tech Accelerator, to reframe the conversation from “the great wealth transfer” to the great wealth build. Pam shares how an unconventional start in FinTech turned into a career launching and scaling category-defining products (including BlackRock’s Aladdin), why younger generations are building wealth earlier, and how behavior-driven, hyper-personalized tools will shape the next era of money.

We dig into data privacy (and why YOU should bring your own “key” to the internet), practical founder guidance - get advice before you get capital - and what wealth really means beyond account balances: the disciplines and behaviors we pass to the next generation.

What you’ll learn:

• Wealth build vs. wealth transfer: Why most transfer dollars land with Gen X...and how Gen Z/Millennials are creating wealth sooner.
• Behavior > charts: The emerging wave of behavioral wealth tech that personalizes goals, spending, and giving (think donor-advised funds for everyone).
• Founders’ first move: Don’t raise yet - structure your money with a wealth advisor (bot, hybrid, or human) before you take outside capital.
• Data privacy 101: The case for user-controlled digital vaults and better everyday habits (passwords, voice/face risks, cookie fatigue).
• Women & funding: We often ask for less - how to flip that mindset and request what the business truly needs.

Pam’s startup tip:

Pam’s favorite planning tool for new founders: LivePlan - to draft the plan, build budgets, and model the business without gnarly spreadsheets.

In this episode of Women of Wealth… we sit down with mentor and strategist Markey Read to unpack what it really takes for women solopreneurs to step into the CEO mindset, price for value, and build rich referral networks that attract clients instead of chasing them. Markey shares how to translate decades of experience into premium offers, simple “A-B-C + Custom” packaging, and leadership styles that fit who you are (not who you’re imitating). You’ll learn practical ways to delegate, communicate beyond DMs, and design a business that supports a life you actually love.

What You’ll Learn:

• Price for your worth: Why “staying affordable” doesn’t mean undercharging - and how to create accessible options without giving away the farm.
• CEO mindset for solopreneurs: Delegate micro-tasks, protect strategy time, and stop perfecting what never gets launched.
• From connections to referrals: The Power Partners & Rich Referrals approach to intentional, values-aligned networking.
• Own your experience: Count your 15–20+ years of professional expertise when you set pricing and positioning.
• Design your leadership style: Build offers, teams, and schedules around your strengths to prevent burnout.
• Real relationships > more noise: Use email and thoughtful outreach to deepen connection in a social-first world.
• Work–life harmony: Cultivate friendships outside of business and protect a personal life that isn’t ruled by someone else’s calendar.

Markey’s Frameworks & Offers Mentioned:

• Path to Prosperity: Know your people → message to their pain points → design real solutions → structure pricing → nurture referrals.
• Power Partners & Rich Referrals (course): Build intentional partner ecosystems so clients come to you.
