Happy Women’s History Month, BA Fam! 🎉

In this powerful roundtable, Mandi Money sits down with money expert Bernadette Joy (author of Crush Your Money Goals) and financial freedom advocate Kiersten Saunders of Rich & Regular for an honest, layered conversation about what it really looks like to build wealth as women—especially women of color—in today’s economy.

They break down:

• The gap between entrepreneurship growth and actual funding
• Why traditional wealth advice doesn’t always work for us
• The pressure women face to overwork, over-explain, and over-give
• How to stop overanalyzing and start executing

From angel investing to paying off debt, this episode is about rejecting average outcomes and creating a new playbook.

One takeaway: Do something today.
Move $10. Sell something. Update your budget. Just start.

Because building wealth isn’t about perfection,t’s about momentum.
