Do you feel in control of your finances? Do you feel like you have the power to create your financial future?

The future IS female. Vicky Lowell and her company, Empowered Worth, is changing the narrative that finance is easier for men than it is for women. Vicky is a leading financial advocate and coach, international bestselling author and the founder of Empowered Worth, a financial-education platform that empowers women to become active participants in their own financial future and well-being.

Women have the power to create their financial futures. And this is about so much more than looking at your bank accounts or having financial literacy. It is about having confidence in yourself. It is about communicating with your spouse about your financial situation and your financial goals and priorities. It’s about taking the initiative to get educated and take action.
