Women, Legacy and Philanthropy with Deborah Goldstein

Many women stepping into philanthropy face common but rarely discussed challenges: uncertainty about how to give effectively, lack of confidence in navigating male-dominated financial structures, and difficulty finding trusted advisors who truly honor their values and vision. Add to this the pressure of balancing family expectations with their desire to lead boldly, and the path to creating a meaningful legacy can feel overwhelming. In this episode of Design Your Legacy, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Deborah Goldstein, Founder of Enlightened Philanthropy and Co-Dean of the Purposeful Planning Institute. Deborah shares how she equips women with the clarity, confidence, and tools they need to give with impact, align their wealth with purpose, and design a legacy that reflects their authentic voice.
