Liz Hansen from Chicago Boudoir Photography featured on the Women & Money Podcast

I am honored to have been interviewed this week on the Women & Money podcast with hosts Barbara Provost & Maggie Nielsen!

The Women and Money Podcast describes itself like this:

"We will never solve the feminization of power until we solve the masculinity of wealth." - Gloria Steinem. On this podcast, we're going to call out those ways that women are consistently left behind financially. But most importantly, how women can help themselves. Join hosts Barbara Provost & Maggie Nielsen as they help you navigate the ins and outs of financial independence so that you can be financially fearless. They'll connect you with helpful resources and compelling stories from women all across the country. Whether it's buying a house, preparing for retirement, dealing with divorce, there won't be a single question off the table. Maggie is a partner and Barbara is the founder of Purse Strings, a two-part model that's all about providing women the tools and resources they need to help them learn and understand what they need to know to make good financial decisions. And they help connect women with attorneys, financial planners, realtors, and many other financial professionals who have the expertise and desire to serve the female market. Women & Money: The Shit We Don't Talk About can be your place for tools, resources, education and a place to ask the important questions on your mind (or even better, the - you know - you aren't talking about). Find out more about Purse Strings by visiting https://pursestrings.co/ and we can't wait to connect with you on the podcast!

I love Purse Strings mission to empower women in their financial lives and I had a blast talking with Barbara and Maggie about my similar mission to empower women.

Here are the show notes from the podcast episode:

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with the fabulous Liz Hansen, owner of Chicago Boudoir Photography Studio located in Winnetka, Illinois. She joins us to talk about starting her own business and her mission to help women feel empowered by their bodies.

Studying art in college, Liz started off her photography career by primarily taking photos of families. After moving to Chicago, however, she landed a job at a studio that offered boudoir photography and witnessed first-hand the transformative impact this work had on women’s self-confidence. Liz fell in love with helping women feel confident and empowered and went on to open her own boudoir boutique, where she works to empower women in all areas of their lives.

In this episode, we discuss finances, gender roles, finding confidence, and the realities of starting your own business as a woman. We’ll also explore the transformative power of vulnerability and the strength that can come from confronting your fears.

Here’s what we'll talk about in this episode:
