About the show

Well Lived Society is for the woman who leads everywhere, not just at work. Hosted by Lemon Price, this podcast is for women who want a board seat and know how to set a Martha-worthy table. Those who are crushing it when they volunteer and are intentional about how they spend their money. Women who are done with AI-generated advice, perfectionism spirals, and the idea that leadership only counts when someone's watching. Every week, we talk about the real stuff: civic engagement, hosting well, finances, executive presence, navigating AI without losing your voice, and what it actually looks like to lead with intention in every single area of your life. This is whole life leadership. And you're in the right place.

You Didn't Just Volunteer. Stop Saying That.

Send us Fan MailIf you've been giving your time, your brain, and your leadership capacity to organizations in your community, and you're not putting that on your resume and LinkedIn the same way you put your job on there, you are leaving your own qualifications off the table.In this episode, Lemon Price gets tactical about one of the most underutilized career assets women are sitting on: volunteer experience as professional development.Learn how to translate nonprofit board leadership, civic roles, and volunteer work into a leadership narrative that opens doors to career changes, board seats, and leadership roles your current job isn't positioning you for. We cover how to rewrite your resume bullets with impact and numbers, how to fix your LinkedIn so recruiters actually find you, and how to volunteer with enough intention that the organizations you serve are actively building the skill set you need. Your civic work can be the bridge, but only if you're strategic about it.Grab the Future You JournalEnjoy the episode, everyone! How can you be part of the movement to equip women?1.

And Monica's do something list — the simplest, most underrated identity tool I have heard in a long time.We also get into my Gary Vee era, the ER visit that ended it, and why hustle culture advice almost took me out completely.Habits are helpers. They work for you. You don't work for them. And by the end of this episode you are going to feel that in a completely different way.Find Monica at aboutprogress.com and everywhere podcasts are available.

Philanthropic Giving & Decision-Making | Building Wealth With Purpose with Financial Advisor Nicole Meihofer

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever walked out of a meeting with a financial advisor feeling more behind than when you walked in, this episode is for you.Nicole Meihofer spent years doing high-level financial planning for families with nine-figure exits — the kind of wealth strategy most women never get access to. She left Merrill Lynch in 2018 to change that. Today, she runs PearlVest Capital, a woman- and minority-owned firm, and every client engagement starts with the same question: What does enough actually look like for you?It sounds simple. It will rearrange everything.In this conversation, Nicole walks through the two numbers every woman needs to know — your monthly thrive number and your investment number — and why your decision-making around money changes completely once you know both. We also get into the investment vs. expense mindset shift (yes, your cleaning person counts), why she retired the word "budget" entirely, and what the Wolf of Main Street gets right that Wall Street never will.This is the financial planning conversation most women never get invited into. You're invited.In this episode:The two-number framework that grounds every financial decisionWhy your decision-making around spending looks different when you're the breadwinnerInvestment vs. expense, and why the distinction changes your bank statementThe Wolf of Main Street framework (and why it's the one worth following)What "enough" looks like when it's actually yoursConnect with NicoleLinkedInWebsiteEnjoy the episode, everyone!

External Credibility Means Nothing Without Self-Trust

Send us Fan MailExternal credibility means nothing without self-trust. You can have the bio, the board seat, the reputation, and still second-guess yourself in every room that matters.Most leadership development programs will teach you how to build credibility with others. Nobody teaches you how to trust the voice that you already know.In this episode, Lemon Price breaks down exactly why women stop trusting their own judgment, from the language used about little girls to code-switching to outsourcing our thinking to AI, and gives you three concrete practices to rebuild it.In this episode:Why you don't have a confidence problem; you have a self-trust erosion problemHow every time you override your instinct, you're banking a data point against yourselfThe small decision practice that builds the muscle without the stakesThe evidence journal that gives your brain proof that your gut can be trustedThe pre-mortem question that cuts through every major decision faster than anything elseThe women who end up in the rooms where decisions get made aren't more certain than you. They're just more practiced at trusting their own read.🔗 Download the Board Readiness Self-Assessment Enjoy the episode, everyone! How can you be part of the movement to equip women?1.

Visibility Is the Floor, Not the Goal

Send us Fan MailThere's a man in my community who shows up to every single public meeting. Loud, consistent, impossible to ignore. And he has accomplished absolutely nothing. Because visibility without credibility is just noise.In this episode, Lemon Price breaks down why being seen is the floor — not the goal — and how credibility actually compounds like interest over time. Every follow-through, every hard conversation, every time you show up for someone instead of just in front of them — that's a deposit. And eventually, the account pays dividends you never asked for.In this episode:Why showing up is the minimum, not the achievementHow credibility compounds and what the dividends actually look likeWhy your reputation enters the room before you doThe goal isn't for everyone to know you — it's for the right people to believe in youEnjoy the episode, everyone!
