Women and Financial Freedom

The Swan Effect - Creating and Sustaining Your Financial Wellbeing

On this Woman's Month episode, Lucille and Arthi host guest, Lesego Monareng of KLU Wealth and Legacy Management, to talk more about women and how we can achieve financial freedom.
It's a complex topic given the various barriers women still face today, from cultural norms and biases to explicit ceilings or exclusionary policies that destroy women's confidence, especially when it comes to personal financial management.
Lesego shares her insights and advice as we delve into the following topics:

• Identity of the South African woman and the impact that has on her confidence to handle financial matters
• Role of the household environment in shaping money habits and disciplines
• Career options for women in the finance industry
• Embedding financial literacy for women to boost confidence in managing personal finances
• Addressing the gender pay gap and how women can negotiate for their value
• Managing debt traps better
• Retirement and estate planning considerations
• Managing business finances and personal finances, and women business owners
• Debunking myths about women and money

And so much more! Take a listen.
