I journeyed across the podcasting universe to the UK, where I spoke with Britain’s Jo Blackwell, a coach for women who want more from their lives after 50. Her “midlife movement” is changing minds about becoming older. (The Midlife Movement with Jo Blackwell.) We dove into the topic of money fog and talked about how the financial messages given to women have changed so much within our own lifetimes. For example, for women in mid-life, money conversations were not generally part of our childhoods. We also talked how the divorce rate impacts women, and the fact that we don’t want money to be why we stay in a bad relationship. And yes, we talked about the balance of power in relationships and how money impacts us. Money- it’s such an emotional topic. We rounded out the conversation by discussing how to rise above the money fog using three powerful questions, and how to open up and step into our dreams.
