So I want to dive into that.

I mean, what are the questions we need to be asking to really understand the root of our relationship with money?

You know, something as well that you stress in the book is really that need for women to achieve financial literacy and autonomy.

And that's never been, you know, more urgent.

And something that I found really interesting was some of the statistics you named in the book.

still defer financial planning to their partners.

Nearly 50% of women aged 55 to 66 have no retirement savings.

And 54% of senior women cannot cover their basic needs.

And, you know, something you also talked about, we're at a time where more than ever women are a part of the kind of so-called sandwich generation, right?

Caring for children as well as aging loved ones while also providing financial support.

So maybe...

Talk about that a bit more about how that financial autonomy impacts all aspects of life and how that can empower us as women to thrive through life's many changing chapters.

Absolutely.

You know,

One of the things as well that I thought was really interesting, and obviously this applies to all of us, both men and women, but you talk about the importance of understanding your money mindset and your money personality, which I thought were really, really interesting kind of ways to frame these concepts.

So maybe explain, you know, what is a money mindset and what are the different kinds of money personalities?

As we come to the end of our discussion today, maybe one more question for you.

You know, if there's someone listening that's thinking, I really want to start my journey towards financial empowerment and financial freedom.

I'm not exactly sure where to begin.

What are kind of some practical initial steps that one could take?
