Financial Abuse and Entrepreneurship: Breaking the Silence

Today I'm talking about a topic that's personal to me and probably affects more of us than we realize: financial abuse and its impact on entrepreneurship.

I've walked this path myself. I co-signed a loan I didn't want to, worked throughout a challenging pregnancy while my then-husband refused to get a job, and constantly was blamed for "spending all our money." Does any of this sound familiar?

In this episode, I'm shedding light on financial abuse. What it looks like, how it affects our mindset, and most importantly, how you can heal and flourish as a business owner after experiencing financial abuse.

I'll be talking about:

The subtle ways financial abuse seeps into relationships (hint: it's not always obvious!)

How being a survivor influences us as entrepreneurs (think trust issues and scarcity mindset)

Honest talk about rebuilding our financial confidence and overcoming self-doubt

Remember, you're not the only one who has been through this. Whether you're healing from financial abuse or supporting someone who is, I hope this episode helps you feel empowered. I believe we can transform our experiences into wisdom and our challenges into strengths.
