Breaking Free from Money Shame: Anne Lester on Smart Financial Habits & Rethinking Your Financial Future

What if your money struggles aren’t a moral failure—but a systems problem?

In this powerful episode of Unleashing Your Great Work, Amanda Crowell sits down with Anne Lester, retirement expert, author of Your Best Financial Life, and former Head of Retirement Solutions at JP Morgan.

Anne is on a mission to remove shame from the conversation around money—and to help rising leaders take control of their financial futures. Drawing from her own story and decades of experience, she shares how our financial habits are often the result of wiring, not weakness, and offers practical tools to help you “move the door” and change your financial outcomes.

Whether you're just starting your career, hitting your stride, or wondering if it’s too late to start saving—this episode is packed with wisdom that will change the way you think about money forever.

🔑 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why shame and fear are keeping people stuck in unhealthy money habits
The power of behavioral economics in understanding your financial decisions
How to set guardrails that make saving and investing easier
How a metaphor to “Move the Door” can transform your life and finances
Why Anne left a successful, high-profile career to follow her Great Work

💡 Quotes to Remember:“When I framed my struggles with money as moral failure, I stayed stuck. When I reframed it as behavior, everything changed.” – Anne Lester
“The system isn’t designed to help you succeed financially—but that doesn’t mean you can’t.” – Anne Lester
“You don’t have to be perfect with money. You just have to start.” – Anne Lester
