Session Description

Fun fact: Money isn’t gender neutral. Caregiving, confidence gaps, lifetime earnings, and non-linear career paths all shape financial outcomes, before personal choices even enter the picture. Add irregular income, seasonal work, career pauses, and self-employment, and the gap becomes harder to see and easier to ignore.

In this session, we’ll unpack the money myths that shape how women negotiate, take risks, and advocate for better terms. Learn how to think about financial security when income isn’t predictable, how investing and saving actually work in real life, and how to make money decisions that reflect both your values and long-term goals. You’ll leave with clear, actionable steps you can take in the next 90 days.
