When it comes to money, women are different.  Not just by the numbers  — the pay gap combined with breaks from the workforce to care for kids and older parents results in lower retirement balances which have to last for women’s longer lifetimes — which are challenging enough.  But when it comes to what we want to do with our money, and what we need it to do for us.  In this candid, often funny speech, Jean talks through a three-part plan that will help solidify your relationship with your money and shore up your financial future.

Learning objectives:

• Understand yourself in relationship to money
• How the need for safety and security (while understandable) can hold women back
• Why investing for the long-term is non-negotiable (and how to get started)

Financial freedom isn’t just about wealth — it’s about clarity, confidence, and living with purpose.

In this empowering session, Jean Chatzky helps women rethink their relationship with money and build a financial life that aligns with their values, reduces stress, and unlocks true joy.

“Resilience isn’t a single skill. It’s a variety of skills and coping mechanisms. To bounce back from bumps in the road as well as failures, you should focus on emphasizing the positive.” – Jean Chatzky
