People say I shouldn’t talk so openly about women making 6 figures, multiple six figures and beyond💸🌶️ I believe that when money is in the hands of the right women, the world becomes a better place. When women earn more money, the world becomes a better place…👇🏼 "Women in the workforce allocate a remarkable 90% of their earnings towards supporting their families and communities, a stark contrast to the 35% contribution observed in men"👇🏼 That’s right: when women earn more money, the world becomes a better place. Literally🤯 Totally get it - we're a bit on edge when it comes to talking about money. Society hasn't really prepped us for making bank and being PROUD to talk about. As women, we've been fed this idea that we're not money-savvy, can't trust ourselves, and that if we hit it big, we'll be seen as a "rich b****" and nobody will vibe with us. We're scared to take chances, hesitant to shine, and honestly, some of us are just freaked out by the whole money scene (I get it, it used to be me). But in my world things are different. We talk about money. We share our success. We talk about how to make more money and feel proud. So if you’re ready to ditch the prison cell of glass ceilings, meaningless work and step into a life that makes you feel fulfilled, happy and f*cking wealthy, my work is for you🔥

“In 2044 … minorities will account for more of the U.S. population than white Americans. Clients that have been underserved historically are now taking over the majority of the wealth transfer and creation of wealth,” argues Lacy Garcia Lacy, founder and CEO of fintech firm Willow. The platform’s mission is to ensure that women — the largest segment of the new majority — are better served. “Over the next decade, women represent the biggest opportunity for financial advisors because they’re the biggest beneficiaries of The Great Wealth Transfer,” she maintains in the interview. However, research suggests that female clients, in general, are unhappy with the way advisors have treated them, and “Black and Latina women are three times more likely to say that financial services does not meet their needs or that they have had a bad experience when they first became investors,” Garcia says. One of several reasons why the Supernova Scholars Program was created.

Fast forward to today, I’ve guided hundreds of women to completely transform their relationship with money, take charge of their financial future, and finally feel FREE. To me, it's one of the most empowering experiences. ✨ So if you're seeking guidance, I'm here to help you achieve the same transformation my clients are now living.

Insightful article from Sallie Krawcheck, CEO & Founder of Ellevest on how the "by-women-for-women economy" dominated 2023, and how the financial landscape will continue to shift as we all embrace the true meaning of being "authentic." #wordoftheyear 📰 This is a world where: 📉 90% of women earning six figures say they’re not confident in making decisions about money. 📉 95% believe that the financial services industry wasn’t built with women in mind. The importance of the work that companies like Ellevest do to support women in wealth creation can’t be overstated. I hosted a panel in Vegas at Money20/20 focused on FinTech’s role in the closing the gender wealth gap, speaking with Marla Sofer, Anna Connors, Natasha Vernier, and Nicole Casperson on their personal experiences in the industry. If this article gave you food for thought, don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss the key takeaways from that meet up further. 📱 [email protected] *And of course, any excuse to bring up Taylor Swift. Thank you Sallie!

"Why are you building for women? Why not men, too?" We get asked this all the time at Bolder Money, and my response is always the same: Building for women is the only way to build for everyone. 👀 And it doesn't mean we are ONLY building for women - we have men and non-binary individuals in our membership who are thriving with an empathetic approach to money. 'Building for women' means providing guidance that includes what has historically been left out of financial services, like compassion, humanity, and the emotional side of money. It means providing guidance that addresses the systemic barriers contributing to wealth gaps across gender, race, and sexuality. Incorporating humanity into financial services is the only way to have an economic system that makes it possible for everyone to thrive. We have to treat people as they are: humans with complicated money stories. www.boldermoney.com

The “Feminization of Wealth” isn’t a daydream. This world where women have more wealth — and more power — is coming. A world that will be the result of pretty powerful mega-trends. A world that’s being driven by the massive inheritance numbers over the next few decades. And a world that’s made better for us all because of the financial confidence that results from getting more money into the hands of women. That’s not just our opinion at Ellevest. And it’s not what we saw in a crystal ball. That’s what our research tells us. For more on what the “Feminization of Wealth” might really look like, click the link below:

As nurturers, women have evolved to focus on others: raising children, supporting a husband, caring for aging parents, and developing community through service and friendship. All of these roles are based on a desire to improve the lives of others. This deep sense of purpose motivates them every day. While women also have a desire to create and accumulate wealth, this is rarely a primary motivator. On the other hand, helping women understand what drives and inspires them, and clarifying their underlying purpose for their money, is one of the most effective ways to engage them in the process of managing their money. In a time when greed seems to be such a dominant motivator in our culture, clients need to know that your interest in them is not just about the income they will generate for you. Many of them assume that you only want their business because of the commissions. This is why you need to be able to speak to people on a deeper level. If you can articulate your purpose – what you truly hope to accomplish with every client and WHY this is important to you – you will capture their full attention.
