In this deeply personal and empowering episode of Women Behind the Millions™, host Jessica Weaver brings together two remarkable women who are helping redefine what legacy really means—from how we care for ourselves in moments of crisis to how we plan for the future with strength and love.

In the first half, Jessica sits down with Kelly Etter, a certified Pilates and transformational trainer, holistic well-being advocate, and featured author. After losing both her home and Pilates studio in the California wildfires, Kelly shares her extraordinary journey of rebuilding her life from the ground up. She and Jessica dive into the critical role of nervous system regulation, the impact of daily self-care practices, and how resilience is built in the quiet, consistent choices we make—especially during life’s hardest moments. Expect soulful insights and tangible practices you can start using right away to support your own emotional and physical well-being.

Then, in the second half, Jessica is joined by Alecia Barnette, a leading voice in asset-based long-term care planning. Together, they explore one of the most overlooked aspects of wealth and legacy—how we care for ourselves and our families as we age. Alecia breaks down the myths and realities around long-term care, offering smart, forward-thinking strategies to turn unused or “lazy” money into powerful tools for preserving dignity, supporting your loved ones, and ensuring you won’t become a financial or emotional burden on your children.

From healing in the present to securing your future, this episode is a powerful reminder that true wealth isn’t just measured in dollars—but in the peace, preparation, and purpose we pass on. Tune in for inspiration, practical wisdom, and the clarity you need to build a legacy that lasts.
