Who controls the purse strings in your house? If you are like sixty-one percent of the women that would rather talk about their own death than finances, it may not be you. The price of delegating your financial decisions to someone else is especially high, and today’s podcast guests want to do something about it.

Listen to the story of how Dr. Barbara Provost and her daughter Maggie Nielson, co-founded Purse Strings with the mission of closing the gender financial literacy and investing gap. We discuss how women need access to free education and referrals to gender-savvy, financial professionals. But most of all, they need to take action!
