In this special guest episode of Growing Your Wealth with Jeff Shade, Danielle Meister, CFF, CDFA steps into the guest seat to join Dr. Richard Himmer for a powerful, layered conversation about women, money, and the psychology behind financial confidence.

Together, Danielle and Dr. Himmer explore why so many women are unintentionally left out of financial planning conversations—and the real risks that creates over time. From longevity and widowhood to caregiving, career pauses, and relationship dynamics, this episode connects the numbers with the human behavior driving financial decisions.

Danielle brings her woman-first advisory perspective to the table, sharing what she sees every day working with women navigating major life transitions—while Dr. Himmer adds critical insight into conflict avoidance, emotional safety, and why couples often avoid the very conversations that matter most.

This isn’t a product-driven discussion. It’s a conversation about awareness, partnership, and what it really takes for women to feel confident, informed, and prepared—before life forces them to figure it out on their own.

If you’re a woman who wants a stronger voice in her financial future—or someone who loves a woman and wants her protected—this episode is a must-listen.
