The Power of Knowing Your Numbers

In this episode, Gillian interviews Kristine Beese, founder and CEO of Untangle Money, explores how emotional clarity around money can unlock time, energy, and attention, leading to a more flourishing life. She discusses gendered financial equity, the emotional triggers of money, and practical tools for women to improve their financial confidence.

What’s fascinating that came out of this conversation is the extent to which financial planning tools, investment solutions and traditional savings trajectories completely miss the oscillating nature of the typical woman’s earning pattern. As a result of time away from earning to bear and raise children, and or care for parents and family members, there is an additional “tax” on women’s ability to create financial freedom in addition to the existing pay equity gap.
