Women and money: why do so many of us go quiet the second the subject comes up, and how do we start building wealth anyway? In the first episode of our Women, Power & Wealth series, Bola Sokunbi, founder and CEO of Clever Girl Finance and bestselling author of Clever Girl Millionaire, talks about letting go of money shame, why the gender wealth gap is as much about silence as salary, and how to build wealth as a woman from wherever you're starting. When did you last say a money number out loud? Not to your banking app. To a friend, a partner, a sister. What you earn, what you owe, what you're hoping for. Bola Sokunbi is a Certified Financial Education Instructor, a six-time bestselling author, and the founder and CEO of Clever Girl Finance, one of the largest personal finance education platforms for women in the US. Her whole approach comes down to three words she returns to again and again in this conversation: all or something. Bola grew up in Nigeria, the youngest of four and the only girl. Her mother married at 19 and, after watching friends land on her doorstep with their children, their suitcases, and nowhere else to go, decided she would never be without money of her own. She went back to school, built businesses, and eventually paid for all four years of Bola's college in the US. Bola carried that lesson into her first job, saved her first $100,000 in just over three years on a $54,000 salary, and founded Clever Girl Finance in 2015 to share what she'd learned. Today Clever Girl Finance offers more than 30 free personal finance courses, with more than 100,000 women enrolled. Bola was named the 2021 Financial Education Instructor of the Year, and her work has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, CNBC, and TIME. What she brings here is less about spreadsheets and more about what sits underneath them: the shame, the silence, and the family stories that shape how every one of us handles money, whether we're running a household, a team, a business, or a season at home. And the money lessons our kids are picking up whether we say them out loud or not. Together we talk candidly about: Why daughters inherited the recipe box while sons got pulled aside for the money talk, and what that inheritance is still costing us The lunch-table salary conversation where Bola learned she was the lowest-paid person at the table, and why women need to talk numbers with each other Letting go of the "I should have figured this out by 35" shame that keeps so many of us quiet Why your finances work like a GPS: you can't map a route until you're honest about where you are right now Finding a why that's actually yours, setting 3 to 5 goals, and shrinking a scary goal down to what you can do this week Trading all-or-nothing thinking for all or something Talking to kids about money while you're still a work in progress, including how Bola's 12-year-old went from saving for sneakers to wanting to own a piece of the sneaker company How to vet a financial planner the way you'd vet a first date or a daycare, and what to do when one asks whose money it really is Why 50/50 in a marriage almost never is, the case for a separate account for your own hair appointments, and what to do when your partner won't engage What financial freedom looks like for Bola now: options You'll walk away with a place to start that doesn't require a certain income, a partner, or a perfect plan. An honest look at where you are. A why that belongs to you. One small step for this week. And maybe the nerve to ask a friend what she makes.
