What’s the #1 money move every woman needs to make?
Whether you’re just starting your career, navigating a divorce, or planning for retirement, developing financial confidence is critical. In this episode, we’re talking through the must-know money strategies for women- because life happens, and you need to be prepared.
Our guest today is Galia Gichon- an independent financial expert with over 20 years in the industry, including nearly a decade on Wall Street. She’s also an angel investor, educator, and an author sharing more on her book The Accidental Suffragist in this episode. She’s also a fellow podcaster, co-hosting the podcast Fiscal Firecrackers with actress Susan Yeagley- where funny finally meets money!
One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation? Every woman needs a financial safety net. No matter your situation- whether you're single, in a relationship, or even in a high-earning career- you must have money set aside that is completely your own. Why? Because life is unpredictable.
Galia also shared around one of the most financially challenging life transitions: divorce. If you're going through it (or ever need to in the future), there are so many financial factors to consider. Child support, retirement savings, decisions around property ownership, these are incredibly overwhelming. It’s not always a simple 50/50 split, especially when women have taken time off for childcare or worked part-time to support the family over the years. It is so important to have guidance and knowledge during difficult times such as these.
If you’re a woman who wants to take control of her finances, navigate major life transitions, or simply build confidence when it comes to money- this episode is for you.
