Woman Should Be Investing: A Conversation With Laura Tynan
In this episode I'm joined by Laura Tynan - known as The Witch of Wall Street. She is a women's wealth coach, chartered accountant, and author of two books. Laura spent over a decade in corporate finance before building a business that helps women invest, grow their wealth, and rebuild their relationship with money.
In this episode we cover;
The "good girl detox" and the prince charming fallacy that keeps women waiting for someone else to build their wealth
How your relationship with money gets wired in childhood
The biggest myths that keep women out of investing, and why it's nothing like gambling
Why investing is the path to becoming wealthy, not something reserved for people who already are
Practical first steps if the idea of investing makes you panic, plus the inner work that makes them actually stick
