Description

Let’s talk money—because it’s time we all got a little more comfortable doing just that.

In this empowering episode of Getting Real with Bossy, your hosts Kelly B and Kelly M sit down with the amazing Lauri Kibbe—entrepreneur, investor, and fierce advocate for women’s financial empowerment. Lori is the managing partner of Selene Brighthouse, a real estate investment fund focused on revitalizing community retail centers with a purpose-driven approach. She brings decades of experience across industries (think real estate, fashion, health and beauty, and biomedicine), and she’s here to share what she’s learned about money, investing, and what it means to lead with both strategy and heart.

Here’s what we dive into:

• Why women must engage in financial conversations—and why we often don’t.
• How Lauri approaches investing through a feminine lens and what that actually means.
• The impact of the upcoming trillion-dollar wealth transfer to women—and how we can be ready for it.
• How financial literacy creates freedom, confidence, and power in both business and life.

We break down the barriers that have historically kept women out of money talk, and we explore how to replace fear with knowledge. This isn’t a dry finance 101—this is a real, relatable, and eye-opening conversation about wealth, independence, and the kind of legacy we’re building.

Whether you're a small business owner, an aspiring investor, or just someone who wants to feel more in control of your money—you’ll find practical advice and powerful inspiration in this episode.

Key Takeaways:

• Financial literacy = freedom. Understanding your money is the first step toward independence and growth.
• Women-owned businesses receive less than 2% of venture capital. That stat needs to change—and it starts with awareness and action.
• Knowing your net worth and assets is not just for finance . It’s guys - it is essential for making smart, strategic decisions.
• A massive wealth transfer to women is coming in the next decade. Are you prepared to manage it?
• Start early, teach often—financial literacy should be part of everyday conversations at home and in our communities.
