Great things happen when you pull a room together full of 15 bada$$ women to talk about wealth creation and health for themselves and for future generations. 💫 Yesterday, BOLDER Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on mental, physical and financial wellbeing, convened a dinner to discuss financial health, wealth creation, and how each of us came to learn about money. 💰 Things that were consistent across a wide array of women of different ages, career stages and backgrounds were that: 🔸Money wasn’t robustly talked about either as they grew up or currently in their own homes; 🔸Having a seat around the table was key to participation in those opportunities; and 🔸As women, we need to share investment ideas and opportunities with one another because we can all win. Every attendee walked away with new ideas of how to talk about finances with their loved ones, how they can think about it for themselves and with new friendships. 🔥 Mission accomplished ⭐️ I know I say this a lot, but financial health is health and if you don’t have it, it’s only a matter of time until your mental and physical health suffer, too, so take care of you! 🙏 #investing #womensupportingwomen #womeninbusiness Bank of America KeyBank Impressia Bank M&T Bank

💰Understanding our relationship with money is an ongoing and transformational journey.  🌟When we become aware of our thoughts 💬 and behaviors in this area, we begin to work out what’s worth repeating and what’s not!  ✅💫It’s so important to understand that the thoughts we repeat over and over become our actions and create our experience of the world we live in. 🔆This is one of the foundational messages I teach to the women in my Guided Groups. Once they understand this, they then become aware of their own thought patterns and each other’s, and so often there’s a common thread that runs through them all. Once they have these new insights into how they think about money, they go all in with supporting each other to choose more helpful and empowering thoughts that align with the women they are here to be.  🩷 🪄It’s magical to witness! When you’re ready to truly know yourself, and have all the things you really deserve, take my free money quiz, and then let’s jump on a call and have a chat. I can’t wait to speak with you! https://lnkd.in/eJji7bKs #moneyquiz #moneymindsetcoach #mindsetshift #thoughtsbecomethings #successmindset

⭐️ Money mindset, have you ever explored your beliefs around money❓ Last night I delivered a session on money mindset to the amazing women in my Inner Freedom group programme. 🙌 We explored: 💰 Current beliefs around money & how this is impacting you now 💷 How you feel about money? 💰 Where do these beliefs come from? 💷 Creating a new money story & taking action Fascinating discussion! 👍 Many of our beliefs are formed when we’re growing up. 😊 We absorb them from our caregivers, society, people in authority, our experiences … 🫶 Once you shine a light on your beliefs, you can choose to change them. 💡 It’s ok to want whatever your heart desires, you’re still a good person! 🥰 Giving yourself permission to think big & allowing yourself to receive.👐 Focusing on what you are grateful for. 🙏 Helps shift you from a lack mentality to one of wealth & abundance. 💎 LOVED taking my group through this! 💕 So many shifts & insights & more to come. 💫 Have you ever changed how you look at money? 💷 #innerfreedom #moneymindset

2024 #moneydate challenge: each week, I will share about "money dates" I'm having with my own circle because as women, we need to keep normalizing conversations about money to help each other prioritize our financial present and future! Last week I caught up with Emma Lam and we talked about: 💡How as women in finance we still needed to prioritize our own financial wellness in a healthier way. Just because you work for a bank doesn't mean you are going to be perfect with managing your money! 💡Money and the kids in our lives: how we need more custodial products in this region. I don't want to give my godchildren things or cash. I want to give them the gift of compounding returns! We exchanged notes on how to do this. 💡Myths about real estate investing 💡Insurance and and estate planning. The topic of insurance generally was prompted by a very interesting conversation in our GJWHF$-GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUND$ chat group about insuring your belongings as a renter. We sure packed a lot into an entire lunch! #moneydates #moneymyths #womenandmoney #moneyispower

Since 2018, Factora has helped 1600+ women transform their financial lives…NOW, not later.   This year, the women in our community set out to achieve some BIG GOALS, and I have had the pleasure of watching MANY of them: —Fully fill their emergency funds (in HYSAs earning ~4% APY) —Pay off consumer debt and see their credit scores jump up  —Max out their 401Ks ($22,500) and IRAs ($6,500) early! —Buy properties…yes even in this market…because they have a strategy —Increase their stock market contributions (& benefit from the S&P up ~17% YTD!) —Become accredited investors and get access to startup opportunities —Start new businesses for more schedule freedom —Even partner up on investment opportunities together!! Just one of these can accelerate your financial life, but I’m watching the women in our community do SEVERAL in less than a year—whilst inspiring, supporting and motivating each other along the way. 💓 If you are reading this post and you:  1. Want some of these things   2. Don't know how to make them happen on your own 3. Aren't clear on your financial goals & investment options 4. Don't feel confident when it comes to wealth-building... I promise you, you can transform your financial life by taking a Factora Wealth Circle and being apart of this incredible community. To learn more, join our free Info Session on August 8th: https://lnkd.in/gJFpgKX4 #women #wealth #womenandwealth #womeninvestors

Women, our coffee chats need more investment talk and less sugar. Let’s be honest, many of our conversations often revolve around caring for others and managing day-to-day life, not traditionally where men have taken the lead, money talk. It's been scientifically studied that men discuss things—investing, properties, the stock market—while women talk about people and relationships. This distinction isn't just about topics of interest; it's about how we're socialised to engage with the world and, by extension, with our finances. So why aren't these topics making it into our conversations? Is it because we've been conditioned to believe that money matters are too complex, too boring, or seemingly out of our league? Or is it because we're prioritising the immediate over the strategic, the emotional over the financial? A recent enlightening session led by Tamara Gillan, CEO of The WealthiHer Network, eloquently spotlighted this issue, with some standout quotes from her expert panelists*: "We have to educate ourselves, we have to protect ourselves, we have to advocate for ourselves, and we have to take responsibility for our own financial futures." "Don't just kind of swim along in those old patriarchal structures...waiting to get pregnant, before you think, 'How are we going to afford childcare?’” “It's really important to not just think short term, which is what women do because they want to protect their children or protect their parents. We're not thinking about, what happens when we're 65?” The truth is that financial literacy is more than numbers; it’s about security, independence, and, most importantly, empowerment. Let's talk more openly about this, educate ourselves (and our children), seek objective and expert advice, and above all else, take control over our financial futures. We can have head and heart. *Nji Lorimer LLB Hons APFS, Stevie Heafford, Clare Radcliffe Many thanks to Ben Whitworth for the kind invitation, and Jessica Warner for her brilliant management. #womeninfinance #financialempowerment #sistersdoingitforthemselves

Money Talk 47: These are the two things that are holding women back from making their own financial decisions. Empowerment begins with recognizing the barriers that hinder progress. In the realm of personal finance, two significant challenges persist for women: the scarcity of self-belief and the tyranny of time. Self-belief, an intangible yet mighty force, shapes our financial journeys. It's that inner voice that whispers, 'You can do this!' Unfortunately, many women grapple with doubts, underestimating their financial acumen. But remember, confidence fuels competence! Embrace your innate potential, seek knowledge, and defy the doubters. You have the power to navigate the intricate pathways of finance with finesse. Time, a precious resource, often eludes us. Juggling multifaceted roles, women find themselves sprinting against the clock, leaving little room for mastering the art of finance. But let's rewrite the narrative! Prioritize self-care, manage time effectively, and carve out moments to enhance your financial literacy. Every step, no matter how small, propel you closer to financial independence. The journey towards financial autonomy begins by shattering these barriers. Let's champion a future where self-belief blossoms and time bends to our aspirations. Join the movement for change!
