Financial Fluency: How Women Thrive Outside of the 9 to 5

Today on Financial Fluency I am so pleased to be speaking with the wonderful Diane Rusk. Diane is a Life & Health Insurance Expert and has been working in the finance and insurance industry for almost two decades. Her company, First Financial Services, specializes in retirement and estate planning. Diane has knowledge compassion and expertise in dealing with personal and business insurance needs. In her opinion, its imperative, we all understand and purchase life & health insurance for "Those we love,”… that’s why she does what she does.

In our conversation, Diane speaks about why “guarantees and results” are so important in the insurance industry. We learn a lot about what annuities are and how they can work for you as a part of your investment portfolio. And we spend some time discussing the different types of life insurance and how you might design a policy depending on who you might be wanting to support after you are gone.

Connect with Diane at dianerusk.com. She will be launching her first online program in January!

Today on Financial Fluency I am very excited to have the lovely Jen Hemphill with me. We are recording this show on the morning after election day and naturally our conversation is drawn to political matters. Which is why the focus of our conversation is what you can control and what you can’t. Financially, you are still very much in control of what you do what with your money. As an accredited financial counselor, Jen has lots of good ideas for us on how to make sure you are provided for, no matter what happens in our country.

Jen is the host of Her Money Matters podcast and I was her guest for Episode #61, where we spoke at length about the details of special needs finance. I was so honored to be a guest on her show and invite her back to Financial Fluency.
