Redefining Wealth with Love: Jennifer Love on Purpose, Healing, and Legacy

About the Episode

In this episode of Queen Me, we are joined by Jennifer Love, celebrated entrepreneur, money therapist, and CEO of the Livewell Institute. With more than 25 years in the C-suite, Jennifer has guided mission-driven leaders to redefine wealth, align with true purpose, and create legacies rooted in love and gratitude.

Jennifer shares her unconventional journey - from childhood imprints and scaling multimillion-dollar companies to exiting her own chocolate brand - and how she transformed wounds into wisdom. She unpacks the emotional roots of leadership, the dangers of the hustle trap, and the transformative power of gratitude and boundaries in building a fulfilling life.

Key Takeways

  • Childhood Imprints Shape Leadership: Jennifer’s earliest experiences around love and money imprinted a belief that she was “too much” and unworthy. These wounds drove her early overachievement but ultimately became the foundation for her healing and transformation.

  • From Hustle to Alignment: Success, awards, and recognition once masked Jennifer’s inner emptiness. She emphasizes that hustling without alignment leads to emotional bankruptcy, while true wealth begins with courage, healing, and self-love.

  • The Law of Subtraction: Before attracting what you want, you must subtract what no longer serves you - energy leaks, toxic cycles, money fears, and overgiving. Clearing this clutter creates space for authentic abundance and purpose.

  • Composting Pain into Wisdom: Jennifer reframed her wounds as teachers, transforming shame and struggle into lessons of gratitude. She believes life happens for us, not to us, and that every challenge can be composted into growth.

  • Choosing Self-Worth Over Success: Walking away from her thriving chocolate company, NibMor, was a defining “queen move.” She chose alignment and personal worth over external validation, proving that saying no can be the most powerful yes.

  • Leading with Love and Gratitude: Jennifer sees love not just as emotion, but as a leadership strategy. Gratitude, even for the hardest moments, sustains her ability to create impact, wealth, and legacy from a place of authenticity.

  • Purpose Before Profit: She urges leaders to connect with their personal purpose before business purpose. Like an oyster forming a pearl, discomfort and wounds can create the most valuable and lasting parts of a legacy.

  • Unleashing Her Inner Queen: For Jennifer, unleashing her inner queen means living guided by love, setting boundaries, and trusting her worth. It is about redefining wealth not as accumulation, but as alignment, healing, and legacy.
