Women's Money Wisdom
You’re working hard, caring for everyone else, and managing a thousand details a day—but when was the last time you focused on your finances?
As a woman, you might carry the emotional and logistical weight of caregiving, parenting, career-building, and household management. It’s no wonder financial planning tends to fall to the bottom of your list—yet it’s one of the most important tools you have for protecting your future, your family, and your peace of mind.
Women’s Money Wisdom is here to change that.
Hosted by Melissa Joy, CFP®, founder of Pearl Planning in Dexter, Michigan, this weekly podcast is your space for practical insights and relatable advice to help you take control of your financial life. From investing and retirement to navigating life transitions and shifting your money mindset, you'll gain the clarity and confidence you need to make empowered decisions.
Maybe you’re preparing for retirement, juggling the needs of both kids and aging parents, or growing a business you’ve built from the ground up. You want to build wealth in a way that reflects your values. You want guidance that honors your full life—not just your portfolio. And most of all, you want a trusted partner who sees the whole picture, not just the numbers.
If you’re ready to stop putting yourself last—at least financially—this podcast is your starting point.
