Why Corporate America Isn’t Safe—and Why Women Are Choosing Entrepreneurship Instead

In this episode, Jena sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Lisa Chaffin to share the real story behind her transition from corporate security to true ownership.Lisa spent 17 years as a school teacher, working in both elementary and high school education, believing the promise so many of us were sold — stability, security, and safety. Her husband Michael was working for a well-known fitness corporation, traveling often and seemingly “living the dream,” until everything changed when he was unexpectedly let go.With two young children at home, their priorities shifted overnight.A year earlier, Lisa and Michael had been introduced to a mentor and financial advisor through Primerica Financial Services as clients — learning how money actually works, how to protect their family, and how to build long-term stability. What they didn’t know at the time was that one phone call — Michael calling to move money after losing his job — would turn into an opportunity that changed their lives forever.That moment became the foundation of a financial services business empire that Lisa and Michael now lead together.With unwavering faith, courage, and a willingness to go all in, Lisa has helped build an incredible organization with multiple locations, a thriving team, and a mission centered on serving families and creating freedom for others. She is a true leader, a woman of conviction, and a beautiful soul inside and out.This episode is a powerful reminder that what starts as a scary, unpredictable season can become the very thing that launches your calling.If you’ve ever questioned corporate “security,” felt the pull toward ownership, or wondered if you’re capable of more — this conversation is for you.✨ Like, share, and subscribe to the OWNED Podcast so more women can hear stories like this.And if you want to be a guest on the show — or know a powerful woman whose story deserves to be heard — email us at [email protected]
