Rachel Warren

In her new book, Fly, A Woman's Guide to Financial Freedom and Building a Life You Love, Steph gives women an empowering tools-based approach to help achieve financial freedom and thrive for years to come.

Steph, I'm really excited to talk with you today and discuss your book.

Welcome to the show.

Well, thank you.

It's wonderful to be here.

I want to really set the table here for our conversation today.

Your book starts with your own deeply personal story, a really pivotal series of moments in your life that led you to take control of your finances and create your own plan for success and subsequently discover a real passion for educating and empowering women to take charge of their money.

Maybe just start today, you know, share with our audience your background, your story and the journey that began, I think, as you put it in your book, your wake up call to financial independence.

Yeah, I think it's a really powerful story that you tell and as you just laid out and go into more detail in your book.

And it sort of spurred as well the beginning of this journey.

You know, you've spent years actively working with women across the nation to really reclaim and renew their financial power.

I think something that, as you said, really stemmed from your own story.

So maybe tell me a bit more about the journey to writing your new book.

Yeah, I, for one, found it to be revelatory and really, really interesting work and something that I resonated a lot with as a woman in the financial field.

And one of the excerpts that really stuck out to me was in chapter four of your book,

explore your relationship with money.

And I want to read an excerpt from it.

You know, you write, your relationship with money didn't just form overnight.

It's been shaped by your experiences, your beliefs, the messages you've absorbed throughout your life.

And understanding your past financial influences is key to recognizing why you interact with money the way you do today.
