L. Perry (a reader from NY) won Sacred Success by bestselling author and financial educator Barbara Stanny. She is a leading expert on women and money and has helped women take control of their finances for two decades. In her work with powerful, successful women over the last 20 years, Barbara has found that most women’s problems with money have little to do with money itself, but rather with their fear of, or ambivalence toward, power. Instead of pushing women to pursue financial success in the traditional fashion, Sacred Success seeks to redefine power from a feminine perspective.
