Welcome to another episode of Health Raisers, Wise Women! My guest is Nancy Griffin, CEO and founder of Women Worth and Wellness. In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore the powerful connection between your financial well-being and health. Nancy, who considers herself a connector and influencer, brings decades of experience as a wealth advisor. Drawing inspiration from her forward-thinking mother, who taught her about the importance of women's financial independence, Nancy teaches us that owning our lives is the key to overall health and well-being.

🏦 What Mom taught her: How every woman needs her own bank account.

🤝 Nancy's advice: How you need a qualified financial advisor who has your back, just like you need a good doctor for your health.

💝 Give to grow your worth: How charitable giving elevates both financial and self-worth by putting you in a position to help others.

💪 Own your life completely: How true wellness comes from taking ownership of both your health and wealth decisions rather than blindly deferring to others.

🌟 Financial prowess builds confidence: How financial security creates confidence that enhances well-being, creating ripple effects throughout communities.

More about Nancy:

Nancy is a connector and influencer. She attributes her success to personal courage, determination, and joy, when focusing on women’s health and wellness, hence creating Women,Worth & Wellness®. Nancy enjoys every opportunity to inspire and inform women about their personal health and wealth, net worth and self-worth, philanthropy and legacy—so that women feel fabulous, generous, joyful, confident, and on top of their game every day.

Nancy Griffin established Women, Worth & Wellness in 1994 as a Private Client Wealth Advisor for her female clients and their families.

Nancy continues to promote and inspire Daring & Caring Leaders, encouraging them to step up and lead in the world, following in the footsteps from many other powerful Women Leaders in the past.

Nancy’s overall purpose is to connect and influence for positive impact every chance she gets.

“My Mom was a trailblazer as a women business owner and felt that women should have their own money and wealth – including their own ideas about what to invest in. She was my inspiration for focusing on health, along with wealth, as she would often say “if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.” This has always been my focus as I worked with my clients, especially women, as women often have a disproportionate responsibility to family’s health and wellness. An equal focus on health and wealth is inseparable.”
