Summary

Vivian sits down with Kara Loewentheil, lawyer turned life coach, speaker, and NYT bestselling author for a candid conversation about women’s financial literacy, and how to make decisions with confidence! In this episode, you'll learn: 1. What the "brain gap" actually is, how a sexist society has been quietly shaping the way women think about money long before we ever opened our first bank account, and why the pay gap and motherhood penalty are still very much alive today. 2. The three biggest money lies women have been taught since childhood and the specific structures still working against us today. Plus how to start pushing back in your everyday life. 3. Why "know your worth" is actually terrible negotiation advice for women, what the Confidence Compass is and how to use it to reframe your relationship with money, and how to start making more intentional, confident decisions across your finances, your career, and your life.
