Women, want to learn how to confidently take control of your money? First, we’ve got a lot of things working against us. We start and stop our careers many times for kids and family members, and we live longer than men on average because of that, we typically spend our money taking care of our male partner and tend to avoid talking about money. It makes sense why, as our guest Jenifer Sapel, a financial advisor and owner of Utor Wealth, said at the beginning of this episode - we’re often talked to like infants. But Jen cautions us that context is important. You see, the financial services industry was designed by and for cis white men. So, as women, we’ve got to start talking about money, educating ourselves about money, and aligning our money with our values. Jen brings it all in this conversation, where she shares the 3 phases of your financial life that you need to know about, why we need to break the model of ranking things from best to worst when it comes to money, and why you need to know that wherever you’re starting from is perfectly ok - learning about money is a lifetime practice. And you don’t want to miss our conversation about fun financial facts about women - like that banks could legally require a man’s signature for a woman to apply for a loan all the way until 1988. That’s not that long ago.
