There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a wealthy individual.

I REPEAT: There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a wealthy individual. The more wealth we have, the more good we can do.

I saw a post on social media that said the world needs more women billionaires – women like MacKenzie Scott, Melinda Gates and Taylor Swift – women using their financial resources for good.

I couldn’t agree more.

In 2025, my focus is definitely on building my wealth, and hopefully yours is too! But what is built must also be protected.

That’s why I’m so excited to talk with former financial advisor, now Certified Financial Planner Brittney Castro on the show today.

Brittney and I are going to talk about how women can build and protect their wealth for the long haul.

Here's a glance at this episode:
