What if the real economic power players have been sitting at the kitchen table all along?
In this episode of Real Money, Real Life™, I'm joined by Natalie Benamou, founder and CEO of Her C-Suite®, to explore the rising Power of the Purse — the often invisible, yet deeply influential role women play in financial decision-making, wealth transfer, and economic change.
We talk about:
- Why women control up to 85% of household spending — and how that shapes markets
- The difference between spending power and wealth-building power
- How women are showing up differently in financial conversations post-COVID
- The mindsets that block women from stepping fully into financial authority
- What a portfolio career is — and how to plan for what's next
Natalie also shares her own financial awakening during the pandemic, the lessons she learned navigating her investments, and how Her C-Suite is helping women claim their seat at the table — and on corporate boards.
