A Personal Story That Inspired a Mission to Help Women - Episode 110

In today's episode, I am talking with Ed Vargo, who helps women take charge of their money. Ed has a powerful story about growing up in a tough situation and watching his mom struggle because she didn’t have the right financial tools. Now, as a financial advisor, he teaches women how to make smart money decisions and avoid common mistakes. We chat about why women think differently about money, how to align spending with personal values, and why financial education is so important.

About our guest
Ed Vargo is the co-founder and President of Burning River Advisory Group and enlightenHer, a community devoted to money mentorship for women. With more than 24 years of experience in the financial services industry, Ed strives to help women develop a long-term financial plan for every stage of life including retirement planning, college planning, and transitioning successfully in cases of death and divorce.

Ed’s passion for helping women with their finances stems from his family life. His mother, an immigrant from South Korea, had four children with his father. After getting a divorce, she lost custody of her children due to inability to support her family financially. Her unfortunate lack of financial literacy fueled Ed’s passion to help women become empowered so that they can move through divorce confidently and without fear of losing their home or children.
