Summary

Our Friday Women’s History Month series continues. Today, in partnership with our sponsor Prudential, we are dedicating the show to the topic of life insurance and how women tend to be underinsured. What steps can women take to protect themselves and their loved ones with life insurance? What if you're single, don't have children or don't work? Is life insurance still a must? Our guest is Blanche Cheeley, a Financial Planner at Prudential Financial specializing in designing a personal plan that will help close the gap in building & protecting your wealth, eliminating the things that causes us to live a “what-if” in retirement by educating, implementing & executing your plan.
