Melissa Reaktenwalt Uncovers Money Stories and Creates a Hyper Growth Practice

Kick it Open - The Muriel Network Podcast

Melissa Reakenwalt has created a financial planning practice that represents a future for the industry and especially for the chronically underserved women clients. Her practice is in a hyper-growth mode AND she’s building that through emotion-based conversations about money and wealth. As she often says, “Women can do money. We can make it. We can save it, and we can invest it.”

In this episode, Melissa shares how she has the deeper conversations with her clients, helps them overcome their money stories and traumas, and systematically ensures her personal energy so that she can better serve her clients. Melissa is helping her clients kick the door open to financial security and wealth building.

About this podcast:

If you're a woman in wealth management (or any male-dominated industry), this podcast is for you.

Muriel Siebert (first woman member of the NYSE ) said, "When a door is hard to open and nothing else works, sometimes you just have to rear back and kick it open.” After decades of sluggish progress, it’s time for us to kick the door open on women’s success.
