Origin Story

My Why

I went into financial services after watching my mother fall into dire financial hardship once my father died. When they were together my father handled all of the finances. He took care of everything. And my mother knew nothing about how to handle money. So when he died, she was at a loss. Fortunately, I jumped in and helped my mother figure things out. But I knew that my mother was not the only woman who was in that position. And that some women didn’t have anyone they could trust to help them figure it out. That’s when I decided to go into financial services specifically to help women gain financial literacy so they would never be in the position my mother was in, whether they have a spouse or not.

My favorite part of our interview is where we go deep into mindset about what's possible when we're intentional. It's so good, and Pam's insights are spot-on.

You'll also love her story about her client who's a sex therapist and how a conversation with her sparked a whole new program called "Mind Your Money" that will support and empower busy women so they can get things done with confidence.
