In this episode of Women Talking Money podcast, Gretchen Betts chats with Carla Hoppe, the owner of Wealthbrite, an award winning adult education company.
They dive into why financial skills training is so important in the workplace and how poor financial literacy can impact businesses.
Carla shares her own money story, reflecting on how cultural and religious influences shaped her upbringing. She passionately believes that financial education should start early - in schools and continue in workplaces - to help reduce the stress and anxiety that so many people feel about money.
Carla also highlights the power of community support and storytelling in financial education.
The conversation explores how guidance and shared stories can shape our financial habits and mindsets. They also discuss the pressure to spend beyond your means to fit in, the challenges of finding support in your community, and the impact of societal expectations on spending.
Sharing personal experiences with money, like the first big purchase made with your own cash and talking about the financial challenges of starting a business.
The discussion ends with thoughts on being mindful with money, the importance of open conversations about finances, and what financial freedom truly means.
