If they don’t give you a seat at the table... you bring a damn folding chair. That’s the energy we’re bringing today, because March is Women’s History Month, a time to reflect, celebrate, and most importantly, keep pushing forward.
March is the third month of the year, so we thought, what better way to honor this month than by highlighting 3 powerful women from history, 3 modern trailblazers carrying that same fight, and 3 women who will be leading us the day this episode airs for “The Next Wave: Women Shaping Business & Wealth”? Financial independence fuels real freedom and we, as women, need to keep owning our money and our power!
Why does this matter? Because when women have control over their money, they have control over their choices, their futures, and their lives. And this will impact generations of women to follow behind us on our path.
We’ve come a long way, but let’s be real, we’re still fighting for financial equality. That’s why “The Next Wave: Women Shaping Business & Wealth” is all about moving forward together. We’ve got 3 incredible coaches ready to challenge and inspire us:
- Jenna Dillon is an executive coach helping women build powerful networks that drive success. She's going to be talking about empowerment through authority, advocacy, and leadership.
- Lauren LaForge, a sales expert teaching value driven strategies that convert. She's going to dive into creating a vision to get what you want in life.
- Cameo Roberson, a systems pro showing women how to scale without burnout. She's going to be sharing smart systems that we could put on rinse & repeat to work less and get more done.
We believe in lifting women up in every way, we’re donating to &Rise, a nonprofit helping women rebuild their lives after trauma and abuse. Because when women rise, we all rise!
This episode was a reminder that we are part of something bigger. The women who came before us including Gloria Steinem, Shirley Chisholm, and Susan B. Anthony fought like hell for their rights and ours. Women leading today are breaking barriers for the next generation. And we have the power to keep pushing forward through ACTION.
So, if you’re listening on the morning of Friday, March 14th, there’s still time to grab your seat at our event and make a contribution towards &Rise. Please share this e

Financial Confidence from First Job to Retirement with Galia Gichon
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.
