When women talk about money, they are typically perceived as "materialistic" or "boring". But being in control of our financial lives is the first step towards building a future we want. Every episode of "Good Girls Talk About Money" deals with not only the practical side of money but also the fun part of it. We believe that once you embrace money, you'll naturally become less fearful of it.
