Sure, #selfcaresundays are good for the soul, but do you know what else feels good? Financial empowerment. So today we’re talking all things investing with millennial money expert, Jessica Moorehouse.  This is one of our most-requested topics and it’s no surprise why. In our recent Instagram poll, 80% of you said that you find investing intimidating — and we totally get that. A lot of us might believe that investing is only for super rich, middle-aged people, but we promise you that is not the case. It is SO key to start investing even the smallest amount while you’re young, so you can reap the benefits of those early investments later on in life. Hello early retirement!

And as we learned in this episode, investing isn’t actually *that* complicated, so those who try to make it sound more difficult than it is have some sort of M.O. But we are ready to flip the script on that narrative to start building our financial skillset and investing with confidence!

Jessica is a millennial money expert, speaker, Accredited Financial Counsellor Canada®, award-winning blogger, host of the More Money Podcast and founder of the Millennial Money Meetup, a series of empowering personal finance events. Her mission is to teach others how to take control of their lives by taking control of their money and we are here for that!
