Welcome back! In this episode, we discuss what we hope to achieve and talk about in our podcast going forward. One topic we’ve been passionate about since the beginning is financial coaching. Through this podcast, we want to share information and have an interactive approach where listeners can take away something relevant to them each time they tune in. We aim to spark conversations and help our listeners answer their questions for themselves. As part of our discussions, we encourage our listeners to have a notepad handy to take notes and review later. We both love to research and take notes on various topics, and we hope our listeners can take the maximum value from our discussions by doing the same. To give you a little background on what we do day to day,

Moving on to finance and money, we define money as an exchange of value. Finance, on the other hand, is often made to seem inaccessible and distant with the use of complicated terminology and definitions. However, we believe it’s a relevant topic for everyone and want to make it more approachable in our podcast. Financial knowledge can empower individuals to make bold decisions for themselves because the economy and affects all of us, regardless of our professions or backgrounds. The rising cost of fuel, for example, impacts everyone, and the global economy means that most countries are importing or exporting in some capacity.

As two women in finance, gender dynamics come into play when it comes to managing finances. Women often take on more guilt and struggle to make ends meet, and we see a heightened need for women to feel more confident and bolder when it comes to financial matters. Overall, we believe that financial knowledge is a tool for empowerment and that the only thing that makes it inaccessible is the jargon terminology that’s often used. As such, we aim to make this information more accessible and help people feel more confident and in control of their financial futures!
