Breaking Money Taboos: The Conversations Women Need to Have

Name a powerful woman with money from your childhood. A role model from the films and stories you grew up with. The only one we could come up with was Cruella de Vil, a villain who wanted to turn puppies into a coat. Every other story gave us princesses waiting to be rescued.

This is the final episode of our Summer Reset, the 6-part summer series where Rebecca is joined by her Evolution Financial Planning colleagues Katie, Client Manager and Protection Adviser, and Carol Wright, Independent Financial Adviser and Money Coach.

In this episode:

• Why money is still a taboo subject for so many women, and what the silence costs
• The other side of it: male pride, and the £5,000 credit card that never gets mentioned
• Where the "women are bad with money" story comes from, and how recent that history really is
• Money blocks: the beliefs running quietly in the background before you can question them
• The Cruella de Vil problem, and what happens when your only wealthy female role model is a villain
• What we honestly think when we see a woman who is visibly wealthy, and why the reaction isn't about her
• Women, inheritance and the wealth transfer ahead
• The questions to start asking yourself, beginning with "what would happen financially if..."
