#126 - Why Women Burn Out (and What to Do Instead) – with Nancy Griffin

Nancy Griffin spent decades helping women build wealth — not just in dollars, but in confidence, literacy, and legacy.She founded Women Worth and Wellness in 1994, running financial seminars at golf courses, partnering with hospitals, and helping women understand how their net worth and self-worth are deeply connected.But over the years, she realized that wealth without well-being wasn’t enough. Too many women were building legacies while burning themselves out.In this episode, Nancy and I talk about what it really means to live well — especially for women who’ve been taught to survive, serve, and stay quiet.She shares her journey from breaking barriers at Procter & Gamble to launching a 31-year-old brand dedicated to women’s empowerment, financial literacy, and health advocacy.This isn’t a “lean in” pep talk. It’s a deep, grounded conversation about leadership, legacy, and why women need to stop apologizing for taking care of themselves.We get into:Nancy’s shift from corporate exec to women’s wellness leaderWhy women need to stop putting themselves lastThe power of delegation (yes, someone else can do the dishes)Gratitude as a mental redirect — not just a feelingReframing “balance” as priorities, not perfectionThe worthiness gap: why so many women feel undeserving of restHow to use health + wealth planning to protect your futureThe cultural shift from survival to self-ownershipWhy leadership requires integrity — not intensityNancy’s dream for a “Worthy Tour” that spans generationsLearn more from Nancy:Website: https://womenworthwellness.com
