Finasana
Let’s be real: investing is full of unnecessary jargon, over most of our heads, boring, and dry AF. Until now, that is. Join Gabi Slemer, founder of Finasana, as she breaks down personal finance and investing in a way that actually makes sense and won't put you to sleep. Invest Like a Women is here to build your money confidence and help you manage your finances without giving up the things that make life fun.
In the final episode of Season 2, Gabi shares the story of what led her to start Finasana: how a high-stress lifestyle that impacted her mental, emotional, and physical health led to her redefining her values and her relationship with money. How did she move through this shift? What tools did she use to help her along the way? We hope sharing Gabi's experience helps you feel supported in your own journey, as we all move through our own version of this story.
