For most of history, women weren’t just left out of wealth-building, we weren’t even in the conversation. Fast forward to today: Women are investing more than ever, making up a record percentage of stock market participants, growing businesses, and holding more financial power than at any point in history. That’s the win.

But here’s the fight: We’re still paid less, still have less wealth, and the traditional financial playbook assumes everyone earns, invests, and retires like a man. This means even when we do everything right, we’re often playing catch-up.

So this Women’s History Month, we’re asking: What happens when we go from participating to leading?

We discuss: 

• Why the wealth gap still exists even as women invest more than ever
• How to rewrite the financial playbook so it actually works for us
• Redefining financial confidence and owning it  
• The investing strengths women already have and how to use them to win
• Using community as a secret weapon and connecting with other women like “rich aunties” who’ve been through it and have the wisdom to share.
