Season 3 EP 5: You Don’t Need Luck You Need Standards With Barbara Schreihans

If the word “taxes” makes you want to ghost the entire internet, stay with us.

Because this conversation is not about spreadsheets and suffering.

It is about identity, standards, discipline, and the kind of wealth that gets built when you stop treating money like something you hope works out.

In this episode, Jenna is joined by friend and mentor Barbara Schreihans aka Bougie Barb, founder of Your Tax Coach, and the creator of Minted Wealth Live.

Barbara shares the real story behind how she went from a chaotic childhood and massive debt to building an 8 figure company, a real estate portfolio, and a life designed for overflow.

This is a conversation about what it actually takes to scale, and why most women are not blocked by strategy. They are blocked by what they believe they are allowed to hold.

In this episode, I cover:

• Barbara’s journey from chaotic money patterns to building an 8 figure business.
• Why she left the “dream” accounting job and chose a different path.
• The identity shifts required to believe you can create unlimited money.
• Why undercharging kills trust and caps your growth.
• How she scaled fast by hiring early and letting go of control.
• The strategy behind Your Tax Coach and proactive tax planning.
• The difference between luck and disciplined, strategic execution.
• How in person rooms like Minted Wealth expand standards and capacity.
• Why expanding your capacity requires discomfort and support.
• The discipline and clarity it actually takes to run an 8 figure life.
