## Resource

The truth is, most of us weren’t taught how to manage our money, we were taught not to talk about it. From salary transparency and investing to honest discussions about debt and risk, women are left out of the conversation. Today’s guest, Tori Dunlap, is trying to change that. She’s built HerFirst $100K into a multi-million dollar education platform by helping women reshape their relationship with money and start building wealth. In this conversation Emma and Tori get into the real reasons why so many women avoid looking at their bank accounts, how money narratives impact our decisions before we are even old enough to understand them and why waiting until you're ready to invest is ultimately costing you your future. Tori also speaks candidly about why she believes women in relationships should keep separate accounts, how the trad wife trend can be misleading and why getting rich isn’t something women should ever feel guilty about. You’ll learn: • Why “I’m bad at math” is keeping women broke • What most of us get wrong about investing and how to do it right • What today’s economic uncertainty actually means for your money • Why financial education is the highest-return investment you can make What's your biggest money block right now?
