    Teaching girls money - Women's financial empowerment

    At age 25, Laurel was violently hijacked by 8 men with guns. Because she was not physically hurt, she thought she was fine. She wasn’t. She had been violated in every way possible and unbeknown to her started to develop post traumatic stress. On the outside she continued to live the life of a young woman at the beginning of her career, but on the inside she was a mess. When her son was born after 4 lost babies, she was healing and coming out of the darkness. She realized that she had stopped learning and there were many things she wanted to teach her child. Her husband is in finance and she asked him to do the financial education. Laurel wasn’t happy with how he was doing it and decided to embark on one of the most powerful healing journeys she could imagine - a financial empowerment journey. She realized how many other mothers were in a similar position. As she started to uncover limiting money beliefs, she realized that these same beliefs sit under so many other toxic situations, like food, weight, body image. She started to heal on all sorts of level. She also started to realize how many possibilities and opportunities she let slip by her because of these limiting beliefs. She got qualified as a financial educator and financial empowerment coach for women and knows that what she is doing now is what she is meant to be doing in this world, and that is empowering mothers and daughters through financial education and empowerment.
