What if your biggest money struggles weren’t because you’re “bad with money” but because your brain just works differently?
In this episode, we are joined by Nicole Stanley, the owner and head money coach at Arise Financial Coaching. Her mission? Shame-free, accessible financial education that empowers women. As a Latina entrepreneur and personal finance expert, Nicole paid off significant debt and grew her family’s net worth through investing. This sparked her passion for helping women build wealth and transform their communities.
She discusses her personal experiences with money management, the impact of ADHD on finances, and how she leverages her expertise to help others. She provides practical advice on budgeting, setting financial goals, and avoiding common pitfalls. Nicole emphasizes the importance of making money management fun and shame-free, especially for those with ADHD.
