Why Financial Independence Could Save Your Life with Pattie Ehsaei

This episode is brought to you by AX3 Life. In this powerful and deeply emotional conversation, Pattie Ehsaei shares her journey from fleeing Iran as a child and growing up in poverty in the United States to enduring unimaginable tragedy when her parents died in a murder-suicide while she was just 24 years old. Forced into survival mode, she raised her younger brother, navigated a controlling relationship that mirrored her mother's dependency, and ultimately found the strength to choose herself after a pivotal moment that made her realize she was abandoning her own identity. Pattie went on to rise through the ranks in a male-dominated financial industry, building both wealth and influence, and now uses her platform to advocate for women's financial independence as a form of safety, freedom, and self-worth. At its core, this interview is about resilience, breaking generational patterns, trusting your intuition, and understanding that true empowerment begins when you control your own money—and your own life. 00:00 – Introduction: Why This Story Matters 02:40 – Growing Up Powerful… Then Losing Everything 05:25 – Immigrant Poverty & Learning to Work at 10 Years Old 08:30 – Law School, Debt, and Surviving on Grit 09:40 – The Day Her Parents Died 13:10 – Survival Mode & Raising Her Brother 14:45 – Repeating Her Mother's Pattern in Relationships 19:40 – The Wedding Dress Moment That Changed Everything 22:57 – How She Finally Left 25:00 – Falling Into Finance (By Accident) 27:40 – Becoming the Top Performer in a Male-Dominated Industry 31:45 – Women, Power & Workplace Double Standards 36:40 – Building an Online Voice During the Pandemic 42:58 – Why Financial Independence Is Life-Saving 47:30 – The Question That Stops Time 48:08 – "You Are Unbreakable" 49:24 – Where to Find Patti & Final Words Connect with Pattie: Instagram: @duchessofdecorum TikTok: @duchessofdecorum Follow Alexis @alexis_artin Learn more at AlexisArtin.com Fight inflammation and other key hallmarks of aging with astaxanthin and use checkout code LAMN at https://www.AX3.Life/lamn Save 50% on any SoulSway experience with code LAMN50 This is an Operation Podcast production

Loved chatting with Alexis- the way she held space for my story around domestic abuse, how it affected my life, Love Is Blind, and stepping into my next level. And in turn, lived how she offered little mindset shifts that gave me healing moments - truly grateful. Thank you!!
Real, Honest, and Refreshing
