From Moldy Basement to Multi-Millionaire with Melissa Browne
About this episode
Melissa Browne, author and financial expert, knows what it takes to build wealth as a woman on her own. But in the process, she encountered some barriers and obstacles that not only took her by surprise, but illuminated an insidious systemic problem faced by nearly all women.
Mel not only shares her raw powerful and personal story, but the exact methods and actions she took to rebuild her wealth. She also talks about:
- why the financial world wasn't built with women in mind
- how gendered language and ideas still create roadblocks
- what true wealth really means
- the unseen costs of menopause
- a better kind of 'girl math'
