The Real Reason You Struggle with Financial Confidence


Hi Reader!

For a long time, I believed managing money was straightforward. I thought if women just took their finances more seriously, they could gain control and build security.

After all, handling money isn’t that complicated, right?

But this week, I had a major realization.

I reached out to some of the women on my email list—the ones who signed up for my best-converting lead magnet, Your Financial Rescue Plan. I invited them to a call to learn more about their struggles, fears, and financial goals.

I was blown away by how many responded.

And what I learned in these conversations shook me. I thought I understood the financial struggles women face.

But until now, I had only scratched the surface.

One thing became painfully clear: There’s a huge confidence gap between men and women when it comes to finances. This leads to an imbalance in relationships—one that often goes unnoticed until something breaks.

As long as a marriage or partnership exists, financial dependence may not seem like an issue. But what happens if they separate?

This is when many women suddenly find themselves not only dealing with heartbreak but also facing financial uncertainty—sometimes even financial ruin.

The reality is, many women have never been taught how to build an independent financial foundation. They haven’t been given the tools—or the confidence—to manage money in a way that secures their future.

I’ll be honest: Looking back, I feel a little embarrassed about some of my older blog posts. Not because they weren’t helpful, but because I see now that they didn’t go deep enough. I didn’t fully understand the emotional and societal factors that make financial security such a different journey for women.

But here’s the good news: Understanding this means we can change it.

And the first step? Changing the way we think about money.

​Can You Save Money and Live Happily?​

Many women feel like saving money means sacrificing joy—like dieting and still enjoying food.

But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be that way?

The truth is, financial security reduces stress—but true happiness doesn’t come from a big bank balance.

It comes from how you manage your money and how confident you feel about your financial future.

I used to believe that money was the key to happiness. But when I shifted my mindset, everything changed.
