The subconscious thoughts & patterns that we have about money & ourselves hold us back from creating the life we want. Women are often encouraged not to talk, care or learn …
Women and Money. It’s a complicated relationship. With a complex history. As women, we are sold a lie – about money and about ourselves. Disney sells it to us, our parents sell it to us, society sells it to us. The lie is that we are nothing without a man. The lie is that we …
