247: Jen Hemphill on a New Way to Think About Money

Jen Hemphill, a military spouse & proud bilingual Latina, helps women who are tired of the traditional money advice gain a renewed sense of control, confidence and freedom in their financial life.  She is a Money Confidence Coach, an AFC® (Accredited Financial Counselor) and host of the Her Money Matters® Podcast.  Her first book, Her Money Matters: The Missing Truths From Traditional Money Advice, helps to fill the missing gaps for when you are financially stuck. Story Behind The Book Jen had no intention to ever write a book. Perfectionism held her back from ever adding it to her bucket list. Until one day, a publisher approached her and asked if she was interested in writing a book. Jen realized it was a great opportunity that she couldn't pass up. In the process, Jen was able to observe her journey around money and mold her advice more around why she was getting stuck. Traditional Money Advice We have all heard the same traditional money advice, but sometimes it doesn't work that cut and dry. You work so hard on what you are supposed to do, but often it doesn't work out the way it should. Jen believes a big problem is that we aren't talking enough about the emotional part of it… the money mindset. Money Headquarters When Jen refers to your money headquarters it is essentially a hub for your money. When you build a house, you start with the foundation, which is like your money mindset. Then you build from there, piece by piece. The next piece is money actions, then money skills. If you don't have a strong foundation, just like a house, its not going to be steady. Takeaway From The Book Confidence. "Grab the confidence and run with it."
