If you think stock trading is only for math whizzes, finance bros, or people with thousands of dollars to spare—you’re not alone. But you’re also not seeing the full picture.
In this episode, I’m busting the top 5 myths about stock trading that keep smart, capable women (especially women of color and working moms) on the sidelines when they could be creating real financial flexibility right now.
You’ll learn:
- Why trading isn’t gambling—when you know the strategy
- The truth about how much money (and time) you really need to start
- Why stock trading doesn’t require a finance degree or being good at math
- What’s actually risky (hint: it’s not what you think)
Whether you’re curious about the stock market or already investing in your 401(k), this episode will shift your mindset and show you what’s really possible —and show you why now might be the best time to start learning.
