Financial freedom is within your reach, but what's keeping you from pursuing it for you and your family? I want to talk to you about the three ways women hold themselves back as far as money is concerned.

Key points covered in this episode: 

✔️Women hold back when money is concerned because of these lies we tell ourselves. 

The first lie we tell ourselves is that "we're lazy", and that's why we're not doing what we need to. Second, "we're crazy" for even trying to go after a big goal. And third, that "we're greedy" for even wanting to have more in life. 

✔️ Identify mental triggers that spur money disasters. So you fight with your husband, or your boss yells at you. You get so upset and comfort yourself in the way you are so used to doing — shopping! Knowing that it can be against your best interest, you still do it to feel good at the moment. 

✔️Fix your money problems by first clearing your mental head trash. 

Is this how your thoughts go? "I'm just not good with money." 

"Getting out of debt is just so hard." "Investing is too technical and hard to understand." Unless you first clear your mind and get your fixed beliefs out in the open, you cannot resolve your money problems.

Learn 3 Ways to Build Financial Freedom Income 

Key points covered in this episode: 

✔️#1 Create a business around your expertise. I'm a financial planner, so my expertise is financial planning. So I want you to think about what's your thing and figure out whether or not you can create a business around it.

Today’s topic is something people often avoid: estate planning. 

I was recently meeting with a new client and her fiance. As I was reviewing their current planning, I discovered that they hadn’t started talking about their estate planning.

No one likes talking about what happens after they pass away. But the reality is that we all need to ensure our assets go to the right hands.

In this episode, Portia Wood gets into the nitty-gritty of the concerns and circumstances of creating wills, trust funds, and prenuptial agreements for engaged couples, Black and Latino families, the LGBTQIA community, and singles.

Key points covered in this episode: 

✔️  Prenuptial agreements and trust funds are not evil. These words bring the images of a wealthy man and a gold-digging wife. Or spoiled rule-breaking brats. But these plans exist so that our wishes and loved ones are honored when the time comes.

✔️  Most African-Americans are passing on negative wealth. For Black families, generational wealth seems unattainable. Statistics have proven that each generation of African-Americans starts from zero. Portia Wood has created the Black Trust Fund Kids to normalize intergenerational wealth transfer.

✔️ No matter your background or family type, you should have these 3 things in your estate plan when you’re 18. Have a property power of attorney, healthcare directives, and a distribution plan.

✔️  There is a lack of financial literacy. Unrestricted inheritances are typically squandered in 3-5 years of receipt in Black communities. Other challenges like incarceration hinder the accumulation of wealth.

✔️  Good talent and ideas get stuck because of responsibilities and no safety net. Children with parents that utilize a trust fund are set up for success. Estate planning affords them their basic needs as they pursue their dreams.

✔️  Estate planning allows you to give your loved ones financial freedom. We would want our future children to have the ability to not have to trade their time for money.
