In this episode of Women of Wealth, we take on one of the biggest financial pressures facing business owners today: rising healthcare costs - and what can actually be done about them. Healthcare premiums are climbing faster than wages. Deductibles are higher than ever. Employees are frustrated by surprise bills. Employers feel stuck in a system that increases in cost year after year with little transparency or control.

Inspired by The Great American Healthcare Heist, we unpack what’s really happening inside the healthcare system - from surprise billing and prescription pricing practices to profit-driven insurance models and the growing disconnect between patient care and corporate incentives. But this episode isn’t just about the problem. It’s about solutions!

We introduce WellthCare - a patent-pending model designed to work alongside existing health plans to reduce utilization, lower claims, and reward preventative care. Instead of waiting for illness to become expensive, WellthCare incentivizes proactive health engagement.

Employees gain access to:
• $0 copays for urgent care, primary care, virtual care, and mental health counseling
• Free lab work
• Zero-cost prescriptions through an owned pharmacy network
• Medical bill reduction tools that lower expenses by an average of 70%
• $1,100+ annually deposited into a SEP IRA
• $1,300–$2,800 per year in wellness-based store rewards
All with no disruption to the employer’s existing health plan and no out-of-pocket cost to the employer or employee.

Designed for businesses with 10+ W2 employees paying into FICA, this model leverages existing tax credits that reward preventative care and retirement contributions - aligning health and wealth in one strategic benefit structure.

If you’re a business owner looking to reduce long-term healthcare increases, improve employee retention, and strengthen retirement outcomes, this conversation is for you. To learn more or explore whether WellthCare could benefit your company email us!

From budgeting and saving to debt, credit scores, emergency funds, and housing decisions, Hawley and Allie break down ChatGPT’s answers and layer in real-life experience, professional insight, and practical context - because financial clarity doesn’t come from information alone, it comes from understanding how to apply it.

In this episode of Women of Wealth, Hawley Woods Gray and Allie Ramo sit down with real estate investor and airline professional Hanna Pine to unpack what it really looks like to build wealth without quitting your full-time job.

Hanna shares her journey from exploring house hacking to mastering creative finance, transactional lending, and institutional-style acquisitions - all while working a W-2 in the airline industry. Her story is a powerful reminder that wealth-building doesn’t require reckless leaps or overnight exits, but rather discipline, relationships, and strategic use of time.

Throughout the conversation, Hannah breaks down complex concepts like OPM (Other People’s Money), seller financing, double closes, and the Morby Method, making them accessible for everyday investors. She explains how she transitioned from trying to acquire properties herself to becoming a connector—structuring deals, aligning capital partners, and earning through lending, points, and ownership without putting her own cash at risk.

Hanna also speaks candidly about the realities of the journey, including the patience required - logging over 2,000 hours before her first paid deal—and the mindset shifts that helped her persist. Integrity, transparency, and the willingness to say “I don’t know” have been key to building trust and long-term partnerships in an industry often driven by speed over substance.

For listeners interested in passive income, Hanna clarifies what “passive” truly means in real estate, how investors can participate hands-off, and why today’s market allows entry points as low as $5,000. Whether you’re short on time, capital-rich, or simply looking for smarter ways to deploy your money, this episode offers valuable insight into modern real estate investing.

This conversation is especially powerful for women balancing careers, families, and ambition - proof that with creativity and the right network, building wealth is possible without burning out or starting over.

🔑 Topics Covered:

• Building real estate wealth while working full-time
• Creative finance, seller carryback & transactional lending
• Leveraging OPM (Other People’s Money) and OPS (Other People’s Skills)
• What “passive income” really looks like in real estate

Along the way, she discovered a calling to help women who feel stuck learn how to stop talking about change - and start deciding to change.
