?? If you had a daughter today, her daughter’s daughter’s daughter’s daughter might be the first generation of women to experience true pay equality. ?? At the current rate, the gender pay gap won’t close until at least 2155. That’s 131 more years of women working just as hard—while earning less. ?? That’s less money for investing. ?? Less money for retirement. ?? Less financial security and power for generations of women. We’re not waiting five more generations for equality. We’re negotiating. We’re investing. We’re making money moves that rewrite the future. ?? What’s one money move you’re making TODAY to build wealth despite the system? Let’s share and push this change forward. #EqualPayDay #WomenBuildingWealth #FinancialPower"

I loved this fantastic response from one of my workshop attendees! It says it all. ????

??Do you feel in control of your money, or do you let others decide for you? In this episode we talk with @Galia-Gichon, an independent financial expert with over 20 years in the industry, including nearly a decade on Wall Street. She’s an angel investor, educator, and an author. She also co-hosts the podcast Fiscal Firecrackers with actress Susan Yeagley- where funny finally meets money! Galia realized she wanted to do more than just work with numbers- she wanted to empower women to understand and manage their own money. In this week’s episode we discuss why financial literacy for women is so important and how to overcome fear when it comes to investing. Galia shares common mistakes women make, simple ways to start building wealth, and why actively making financial decisions is necessary at every stage of life. Whether you are just beginning your financial journey, going through a life change (like divorce!), or simply want to feel more confident with money, this episode will give you practical steps to take now. ??
