Today’s episode is all about transforming the way you think about money—and you’re going to hear a story that proves it’s never too late to take control of your financial future.
If you’ve ever felt stuck financially, overwhelmed by debt, or unsure how to start investing, this conversation is packed with insights, motivation, and actionable steps to help you take charge of your money—starting today.
My guest is Martha Menard, a former healthcare researcher turned financial coach who has turned a personal money wake-up call into a thriving practice and a $44,000-a-year dividend portfolio. Martha didn’t start out thinking she’d be a finance expert—like many of us, she learned the hard way, paying off over $100,000 in debt before she discovered the power of investing, especially dividends.
In this episode, we dive into how Martha transformed her relationship with money, why financial health is essential for overall wellbeing, the challenges—and opportunities—for women investors, and practical strategies for building wealth through dividends.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
