“Pay attention.” Let’s start there.

This week on Women & Money: The Shit We Don’t Talk About, we’re sitting down with Kathleen Godfrey, independent financial advisor, fierce advocate for women, and 30 year industry veteran who is not here to play small.

Kathleen built her firm after being widowed, downsized, and told flat out she would never make it. Thirty years later, she leads a team of all female advisors, works primarily with women, and has donated over 2 million dollars back into her community.

Kathleen challenges us to keep one powerful focus: pay attention to our money, our accounts, to who is advising us, to what our sons are consuming online, and to policies that impact our financial autonomy.

This conversation is bold. It is honest. And it is necessary. 🎧 Listen to the full episode to learn how to protect your autonomy, align your money with your values, and claim your financial sovereignty.

This episode is your wake up call, but awareness is just the beginning. If you’re ready to move from listening to action, join us as Kathleen shares specific smart financial priorities for us to PAY ATTENTION to in today’s climate. Click here to register for FREE and bring your questions!
