We’re joined by Dr. Annie Cole, Ed.D., a money coach and financial educator who specializes in helping women master their finances—from budgeting and debt payoff to investing, building wealth, and retiring early.

Dr. Annie's story is a powerful one. In her 20s, she was a burnt-out social worker earning just $26,000 a year. Fast-forward a decade, and she had climbed the ranks to a Vice President role, invested over $380,000, built a $1 million real estate portfolio, and shaved 20 years off her retirement timeline.

Now the founder of Money Essentials for Women, Annie is on a mission to help women step into financial confidence—and today, she’s sharing the steps that made it possible.

We talk about her four-phase wealth-building plan, how our brains are wired to resist financial change, and why the increasingly popular idea of micro retirement—taking a meaningful, temporary break from work—isn’t just possible, it might be essential.
