About this episode

Alpha Schulte discusses five common beliefs that hold women back from managing their money effectively and offers strategies to overcome them.

After speaking at four women's events in a single week, Alpha noticed the same five beliefs coming up about why smart, capable women still haven't sorted their money. From "I don't have time" to "I don't have enough money to start," each one sounds logical, and each one is keeping women stuck. In this episode, Alpha unpacks all five, reframes them, and gives you a way past each one. In this episode Why "I don't have time" is rarely about time The difference between needing more knowledge and needing permission to act How confidence is actually built (and why you can't read your way into it) The inherited money stories that are still running your decisions Why "I don't have enough to start" is more often a feeling than a fact The difference between share trading and share investing (these are not the same thing) The woman who built $1,200 in a microinvesting app while ignoring it for six months.
