Welcome to another episode of Ask Hilary, where we tackle money questions people are asking our advisors and the internet. Today, Hilary is exploring one big question:

What did you have to unlearn to do this work with integrity?

Her answer comes from the story of an experience early in her career–shortly after picking herself up from financial rock bottom–and the words from a mentor that made her rethink her work in the finance industry.

Listen in to hear what Hilary has learned–and get the lived experience perspective that ChatGPT and Google search results just can’t provide.

  • 01:42 Q - What’s one thing you had to unlearn about money in order to do this work with integrity?
  • 02:20 The experience that taught Hilary how easy it is to compromise your integrity, and the words that changed her career trajectory
