Financial Resilience

My Friends -?

I see so many of you doing the work when it comes to spreading the word about Financial Literacy, Personal Finance, and Financial Planning in your newsletters, social media posts, and video messages. April has tax season in full freakout mode with everything coming due on Monday. And... we know that the financial resilience of most Americans and communities across our country is in pretty bad shape.

I am working on a project at Females and Finance called "Learn About Finances" and am looking for support from our F&F community members to help people across our country do just that... Learn About Finances!

If you are interested in financial wellness, financial fragility, financial therapy, financial consulting, financial coaching, financial resiliency and everything else I missed in this list AND want to help, I'd like to put together a council of ambassadors who will help provide direction in the mission, vision, and deliverables for this project.?Send me a quick email and let me know your interest level.

And as always, please let me know what more we can do to be supportive of your work.?

Stay well.

In Community and Connection -?
