On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Shelby Nicholl, Founder of the Muriel Network and host of the Kick It Open Podcast about changing the way we think about money and women.

Key insights:

  •  We have to enable women to do it their way.
  •  It’s okay to talk about money, we need to have conversations about money.
  •  It’s important to take agency over our lives.
  •  Advisors should own their practice.
  •  Love what you, do what you love.
  •  If you’re a female client, find an advisor you feel comfortable with.
