Summary
Our society has conditioned us to think that money is gendered and that men are more competent when it comes to matters of money. Further, society tells us that women, because we're "nurturing or caretaking" are not strong enough to handle money. Amanda Steinberg joins me to turn that idea on its head, talk about women's financial empowerment, and share a roadmap so you can become financially free.
Amanda's founded multiple businesses in finance, media, and politics. In 2009, she founded DailyWorth, a startup focused on women's financial independence and grew its audience and email list to 1.2M email subscribers.
I believe you'll get a lot from our conversation. But if there is one thing you gain from this episode, I hope it's this: your thoughts and feelings of powerlessness about money are not your fault.
As Amanda shares in this episode, "You were socially conditioned to think that you're bad with money. That is how everyone got to continuously take advantage of you for most of your life. And honestly, how you also got rewarded and praised for being a good girl. So don't beat yourself up."
Phew. What a relief, right?
