Women Rising: Breaking Financial Barriers

Ever wondered why financial decisions feel so emotionally charged, especially within relationships? Sarah Curley brings a refreshing perspective to this podcast as she shares her journey from property management to financial advice, illuminating the unique challenges women face in securing their financial futures.

Sarah's personal experience navigating separation during lockdown transformed her understanding of financial empowerment. Despite her professional knowledge, she discovered firsthand the emotional complexities of financial decision-making during crisis. This revelation fuels her mission to help women find their financial voice, particularly those who traditionally take a backseat in money conversations.

The conversation dives deep into relationship dynamics around money, exploring how trust can sometimes leave women financially vulnerable. Sarah highlights the concerning pattern where women manage 80% of household spending but surrender long-term financial planning to their partners. This imbalance often leaves women economically disadvantaged, especially following relationship breakdowns.

What makes this discussion particularly valuable is the practical advice for both women seeking financial confidence and those considering financial advising as a career. With only 26% of financial advisors being women despite making up half the population, there's tremendous opportunity for change. Sarah emphasizes how parenting skills—negotiation, empathy, and multitasking—transfer beautifully to financial advising, making it an ideal flexible career option for mothers.
