When we think of feminism, money isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind — but it should be. For generations, women weren’t allowed to open bank accounts, apply for mortgages, or even get a credit card without a man’s signature. Today, women still face pay gaps, retirement wealth gaps, and social pressure to put others first financially. In this episode, we’ll explore how feminism and money are deeply connected, why building financial confidence is an act of empowerment, and the steps you can take to create freedom for yourself and the next generation of women.

I want to shift your focus from what’s not perfect in your finances to what is going right. Because here’s the thing — so many women I talk to are doing better than they think.
