Financial Confidence & Clarity with Ramat Oyetunji
What if financial wellness had less to do with math and more to do with meaning?
In this empowering episode of Beyond Empty Nest, host Jodi Silverman sits down with Ramat Oyetunji, founder of The FI Woman, who retired at age 44 after a 20-year career in engineering. Ramat’s mission? Helping women align their finances with what they truly value so they can live with clarity, confidence, and choice.
Together they explore:
- How Ramat planned her early retirement—and how you can build your own roadmap
- Why financial clarity is the foundation for bold midlife living
- The critical reasons women must build financial security
- What “financial wellness” really means (hint: it’s not about the amount in your bank account)
- The mindset shifts needed to stop “should-ing” yourself about money
If you’ve ever said, “I’m not good with money,” this conversation will change that narrative—and maybe your life.
