After 25 years in the media industry, Stacey Kauffman left her executive position at a billion-dollar company to build an executive advisory business of her own.

In this episode of Life Changing Money, Stacey shares how she transformed decades of leadership, sales, marketing, and business-growth experience into a successful advisory practice.

The “Write Off Your Life” Strategy: Turn Everyday Expenses Into Tax Deductions25 Feb 202600:29:33

What if 90% of what you’re already spending could become a business deduction?

In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara breaks down what it really means to “write off your life” and why it’s one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to business owners.

If you’re an entrepreneur, you are taxed on your profits, not your revenue. That means the goal isn’t to make less money. The goal is to strategically lower your taxable income so you keep more of what you earn. Yet so many business owners wait until April to think about taxes… and by then, it’s too late.

Barbara debunks common myths around audits, loans, business valuations, and “not making enough to need strategy.” She explains why proactive tax planning (not reactive tax filing) is the real key to building wealth and creating freedom.

Tune in to hear:

  • Why business owners are only taxed on profits — and how to use that to your advantage
  • The biggest myths keeping entrepreneurs from maximizing write-offs
  • How to legally turn travel, board meetings, and even holiday trips into deductions
  • Creative (and compliant) ways to write off meals, phones, home offices, and more
  • Why most CPAs are reactive — and what that could be costing you
  • The real audit statistics that might surprise you
  • Why waiting until tax season guarantees you’re overpaying
  • How strategic write-offs can help fund major life goals like buying a home or adopting a child
  • The mindset shifts that will help you stop fearing taxes and start planning proactively

How to Turn Cars, Trips & Lifestyle Into Legal Tax Deductions28 Jan 202600:19:27

The biggest difference between wealthy business owners and everyone else isn’t how much they make, it’s how they structure their spending.

In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara breaks down how strategic spending, not last-minute scrambling, is what actually creates massive tax savings and long-term wealth. From writing off luxury vehicles like G-Wagons to turning girls’ trips into legitimate business deductions, this episode pulls back the curtain on the strategies high earners use all year long (not just in April).

You’ll also learn how business owners legally write off domestic and international trips including retreats, girls’ weekends, wine trips, wellness getaways, masterminds, and even milestone birthday trips. Barbara explains the 50% rule for domestic travel, the 75% rule for international trips, and how travel days, meetings, photoshoots, content creation, and board meetings all count.

If you want 2026 to be the year you stop overpaying in taxes and start playing the game the wealthy already understand, this episode is a must-listen.

Tune in to hear:

  • Why income level has nothing to do with who builds real wealth
  • How wealthy business owners plan tax strategies all year — not in April
  • Why online business owners absolutely qualify for business vehicles
  • The truth about mileage vs. actual vehicle expenses
  • How bonus depreciation works for vehicles over 6,000 pounds
  • Why G-Wagons, Escalades, trucks, and luxury SUVs are popular tax tools
  • The five-year rule that lets you move a business car to personal use tax-free
  • How financing a vehicle doesn’t stop you from writing off 100% of it
  • How to legally write off domestic trips using the 50% rule
  • How international trips qualify with the 75% business-use rule
  • Why travel days automatically count as business days
  • How photoshoots, meetings, and content days turn trips into deductions
  • How girls’ trips, wine weekends, and wellness retreats can be written off
  • Why wealthy entrepreneurs see spending as strategy — not splurging
  • How to stop relying on your CPA and start proactively saving on taxes

  • How Phil scaled to seven figures in one year through speaking and word of mouth
  • How to use AI to save time, increase revenue, and simplify business decisions

How Business Owners Can Write Off Health & Wellness (Legally)14 Jan 202600:22:46

What if one of the biggest expenses in your family budget could also become one of your most powerful tax strategies?

In this episode, Barbara breaks down a little-known (and often misunderstood) tax strategy that can completely change how business owners pay for health, wellness, and family medical care: the Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (MERP).

Most business owners are already spending tens of thousands of dollars each year on things like therapy, orthodontics, hormone testing, supplements, gym memberships, and medical care for their children, but they’re paying for all of it with after-tax dollars. This episode explains how, when structured correctly, a MERP allows your business to reimburse you tax-free for qualifying medical expenses, dramatically reducing your tax bill year after year.

You’ll learn why most CPAs have never heard of MERPs, why many business owners who think they have one are using it incorrectly, and how the tax code actually allows these reimbursements when the plan is properly set up and administered.

Tune in to hear:

  • Why health and wellness is the second largest expense in most family budgets
  • How MERPs convert personal medical spending into tax-free reimbursements
  • The difference between itemized medical deductions and business reimbursements
  • Entity-specific rules for S-corps, C-corps, and family management companies
  • Why letters of medical necessity are critical for many expenses
  • How to avoid common compliance mistakes that trigger IRS scrutiny
  • How MERPs support long-term financial planning for families and children

  • The dark truth about toxic business coaching culture and “fake it till you make it” marketing

  • How mastermind experiences can collapse time and accelerate your 5-year goals into one
  • Success stories from past Council members: doubling revenue, scaling events, buying investment properties, and more
