If you’re a high-achieving woman who is great at every aspect of your business, but money still carries pressure, emotion, and a whole lot of avoidance, this episode is your permission slip to stop hiding.

Today we welcome Rebecca Blankenship, owner of Snowdrop Bookkeeping Solutions, for a no-fluff Hot Takes conversation designed to move you from financial fear into confidence. We are tackling the outdated money myths and the costly avoidance strategies that are keeping your business small.

Get Ready For Hot Takes On:

• Why we feel so much shame when asking financial questions (and why your discomfort is valid).
• The worst money advice you hear women entrepreneurs being given.
• The myth that needs to disappear already: Why you are absolutely a "numbers person."
• The biggest mistake small business owners make: not understanding cash flow (and how to fix it).
• Why over-functioning with your books keeps your profits smaller (and how to outsource it).
• The critical difference between bookkeeping (looking backward) and CFO work (looking forward).
• The most overrated and most underrated business investments.
