Financial Fearless: Ditching the Myths and Owning Your Money Story with Dr. Barb Provost and Maggie Nielsen

Let’s talk money. Not in a stuffy, numbers-on-a-spreadsheet kind of way, but in a real, empowering, and let’s-get-honest-about-this kind of way. Because here’s the thing—money isn’t just about dollars and cents. As Dr. Barb Provost so perfectly puts it:

“Money is a tool, and it’s very emotional. Sometimes we carry guilt, shame, or uncertainty around it. Women feel like they need to have their own sense of self around money before they can really understand how to use it.”

And she’s right. So many of us have been told that money is something to be managed but not necessarily mastered. That it’s complicated, overwhelming, or maybe even not for us to worry about. Well, Maggie Nielsen and Dr. Barb Provost are here to call B.S. on all of that.

In this episode of Have a Seat…Conversations With Women in the Workplace, I sit down with these two powerhouse women—founders of Purse Strings—to talk about the way women relate to money and how we can shift that dynamic to feel more in control, confident, and financially fearless.

We cover:
Why women are often left out of financial conversations—and how to change that.
The emotional side of money and why it’s not just about math.
How to advocate for yourself financially, whether in your career, relationships, or personal goals.
