Through candid childhood memories and client anecdotes, Boisvert provides insight on the ways that women think about money due to their upbringing, their experience in male-dominated industries, and lack of knowledge in investing, saving, and spending. She has shaped the book with an eye to practicality, reflecting the reader’s journey “from avoidance and overwhelm to feeling confident" about money "at any stage of life," introducing basic concepts and building from there, urging readers to let go of misconceptions, build confidence, and grow “money muscles." Actionable prompts and exercises crafted to reinforce the lessons and "create positive change" appear at the end of each chapter.
Later passages touch on issues other books don’t, such as learning to accept that it is okay to love money. Boisvert sees that as part of women taking back their power, a key step on the journey to financial growth and freedom. With tips on how to invest, open bank accounts, practice building portfolios, and create a realistic budget, Make Money Your Thing is a resource for women wanting to change one's relationship with money and begin to use it to curate the life they want.
Takeaway: Inviting resource guide to empower women to achieve financial freedom.
