Review written by our guest reviewer & Financial Advisor – Heather Venenga
Stephanie G’s Becoming Financially EmpowHERed is a masterclass in
financial literacy and empowerment tailored specifically for women seeking to
break free from the often-confusing world of money management. The book’s
relatable tone and practical insights make it an essential guide for anyone
looking to take control of their financial destiny.
Do you ever feel like the ultra-wealthy know something you don’t? It’s a
sentiment many women can relate to, with statistics revealing that nearly half
feel underinformed about key financial topics. Stephanie expertly bridges this
gap, offering a step-by-step roadmap to understanding and mastering the
intricacies of personal finance.
One of the book’s standout features is its focus on money experiences—the
subconscious beliefs and behaviors we inherit from childhood, relationships,
and societal norms. Whether you grew up wealthy, struggled financially, or
were shaped by phrases like “money doesn’t grow on trees,” Stephanie helps
readers unravel these influences through a unique, therapeutic lens she calls
“money therapy.”
From there, readers are guided to identify their financial personality, whether
they’re a Money Evader, Idolizer, Spender, or Saver. This personalized
approach is eye-opening, helping readers better understand their relationship
with money and paving the way for lasting change.
The book outlines eight common money blocks that hold people back and
offers actionable strategies to overcome them. It then introduces six
transformative pillars that serve as the foundation for financial wellbeing:
- Budgeting – Understand where your money goes and take control of
spending. - Building a Strong Financial House – Assess your complete financial
picture, including debt, insurance, and life stage. - Estate Planning – Learn the essentials of wills, trusts, and powers of
attorney. - Emergency Planning – Navigate how much you need to safeguard
against the unexpected. - Retirement Roadmap – Decode retirement plans and the rule of 72 to
grow your nest egg. - Legacy and Passion Goals – Explore ways to leave a lasting impact
while living your dream life, whether it’s traveling the world or funding
the next generation’s education.
Stephanie’s writing is clear, accessible, and deeply motivating. She combines
hard facts with heartfelt advice, ensuring readers feel both informed and
inspired. This book isn’t just about dollars and cents; it’s about living the life
you’ve always envisioned, free from financial stress.
Becoming Financially EmpowHERed is a must-read for women of all ages,
whether you’re starting your financial journey or looking to refine your existing
strategies. Stephanie G empowers readers to embrace their financial potential
and step confidently into a brighter, more secure future.
