This is an important post! ????

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. ??
