Empowering Financial Confidence for Women with Savvy Ladies


Hi Reader,

Financial empowerment transforms lives, especially when women have access to tailored resources and support.

In this episode of The Simply Retirement Podcast, I explore the incredible work of Savvy Ladies, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping women with financial knowledge and confidence. Alongside Judy Herbst, Executive Director, and Lisa Zeiderman, Board Chair, we discuss their mission, their groundbreaking helpline, and how their resources are helping women make informed financial decisions.

On this week's episode we discuss:

  • The inspiring story behind Savvy Ladies' creation and its mission to aid women
  • How Savvy Ladies utilizes technology to provide free financial guidance
  • The unique, free helpline connecting women with financial experts
  • Overcoming challenges in retirement and gaining financial independence
  • The role of Savvy Ladies in forthcoming wealth transfers and women's financial empowerment
  • And more!
