Never Give Up Your Purse - Janean Armstrong

Janean Armstrong has spent 28 years in the financial industry, rising from branch manager to C-suite executive overseeing multi-billion-dollar portfolios.

In this episode she tells host Dr. Stacii Jae Johnson the story that inspired her book — a close friend, married to a doctor for 28 years, who discovered she had no bank account, no credit card, and no financial access in her own name. Janean turns that story into a bigger conversation about money, self-worth, and why so many women stay silent about finances even with their closest friends. She also gets honest about her own first marriage, which she admits she entered only to “check a box,” and the very different, financially transparent marriage she built the second time around — including the framework she now teaches: the financial date night.
