Imagine transforming your relationship with money from one of anxiety and confusion to a story of empowerment and savvy decision-making. That's exactly the journey Nicole Stanley, founder of Arise Financial Coaching, and I chart in our conversation that's as enlightening as it is practical. Together, we dismantle the myths surrounding women and financial literacy, revealing how you can step into your power as a financial decision-maker. Nicole's candid recount of her own path to building a significant net worth will leave you armed with the knowledge and confidence to tackle your finances head-on, whether you're battling bank statement blues or navigating high-income challenges.Nicole and I peel back the layers of financial literacy, stressing that it is a skill that can be honed—one that can lead to not just personal growth, but also to the prosperity of the community around you. We explore the four pillars essential for financial success and how overcoming a scarcity mindset opens the door to a life dappled with both luxury and smart investment. By embracing the power of 'and' rather than 'or,' you'll learn how financial planning can harmonize with indulging in life's pleasures and how this balance can create a ripple effect of abundance.The episode culminates in a discussion on the rising trend of financial coaching, a realm where women are taking the reins and navigating their financial futures with greater clarity and control. It's not just about numbers and charts; it's about understanding the personal nature of money and using this knowledge to transform fear into a building block for wealth. Through stories, insights, and a refusal to shy away from the tough topics, this chat with Nicole is a testament to the power of owning your financial narrative and crafting a life that resonates with authenticity and financial freedom.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!
