Jen is a personal property coach helping women entrepreneurs and self-employed women take control of their finances over at JenTurrell.com, but I like to call Jen my rockstar inspired financial comrade. This is Part 1 with my interview with Jen and we get deep with topics like divorce, domestic violence when it comes to money, women’s role in history with money, and discrimination against women in the workplace. There is so much depth here and I am so thankful to have someone like Jen come on the show to share her view and have an open discussion about it!
What We Talk About:
-How her record label and special needs financing helped her succeed in the entrepreneurial world
-Transition to working with women entrepreneurs on their own personal finance
-How being in a punk rock band taught her responsible and straightforward money strategies
-What Jen learned about money growing up
-We dive into the history of women’s roles with money (which was really nothing)
-Domestic violence and how that links to women’s own financial autonomy. Jen’s interview with Lindsay Fischer.
