1239: Investing for Women in Their 40s W...

Hosted by Heather Chauvin | Insights inspired by Mel Robbins, Bréne Brown,
About this episode

"You can't talk about living your best life without talking about money and you can't talk about money without facing what you're afraid to feel."

In this episode, Heather sits down with Tess Waresmith for a powerful and emotionally honest conversation about death, money, and the stories we carry around both. From end-of-life planning to modern parenting and breaking financial cycles, they dig into what it really means to be resourced. Not just financially, but emotionally too.

Whether you're navigating aging parents, raising kids, or running a business, this conversation will challenge you to take radical responsibility for your future and give you a compassionate push to finally look at what you've been avoiding.

✨Why emotional capacity and financial literacy go hand in hand and how to build both
✨The psychology of money: avoidance, anxiety, identity, and invisible labor
✨How to teach kids financial independence without over-rescuing or enabling

This one's for the woman carrying it all - past, present, and future, finally ready to take her power back.
