Here’s What You Missed At Our #moneyfears Chat

by Sarah Chang on August 6, 2012

Did you miss this Thursday’s fast paced #moneyfears chat? We all have money fears, and although it can sometimes be easier to brush them under the rug, it helps to share. Over the course of an hour we provided a safe space to talk about our fears and anxieties. And, of course, we had experts on hand to provide some great advice and guidance for managing our worries. The message is you’re never alone in your fears or in receiving support.

Our co-hosts for the evening were Eleanor Blayney, CFP (@directions4her), and Candice McGarvey (@CMcGarvey) both from Directions for Women. Directions for Women seeks to empower, educate, and engage women in the management of their personal finances. These ladies are incredible and definitely two you want to be following.

We hope you’ll join us for our next chat in September (stay tuned for more details!).
