Show Notes
It’s one of life’s last remaining taboo subjects...Money. What we earn, what we save and how we spend is mostly shrouded in secrecy. And in a world where the earning power and purse strings are still so often held by men, tackling the issue head on can be particularly challenging for women.
Today’s guest is on a mission to change that. Bola Sol is a financial advisor, a money columnist and the author of two books, “Your Money Life” and “How To Save It”, which aim to help us better understand how to manage our money. She is also making it her mission to empower women around the world to take control of their finances.
Bola and Stephanie discuss what it was like being a woman of colour in the world of corporate finance, why schools are failing us when it comes to teaching kids about money, and why getting women in a room together to talk about all things financial is so important.
Bola also shares tips on the best ways to invest, save, budget and educate our children around money. We can all come away from this episode a little richer.

Parenting has never come with more advice than it does today. Social media is full of people claiming that their style of raising a child is the right one, commenting on everything from discipline to nutrition to education. So how do you work out what to listen to?
Navigating the online world for ourselves is hard enough, but trying to keep it safe for our children feels near impossible. We’ve talked a lot on the show lately about the dangers of posting pictures of our families, how children as young as three are using social media, and the sort of content that is being fed to our kids online. One thing that keeps coming up over and over is: how do we keep it under control?
