No Gatekeeping: I'm Sharing My Favorite Money Resources



If you’ve been following along with my Empower40: Mastering Your Money in Your Forties ebook series—thank you! I created this series to give women in their forties the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take control of their finances. If you’re anything like me, nothing feels quite as satisfying as checking something off a list—especially when that list is helping you build a stronger financial future.


That’s why Book 5 is all about action. It includes a Money Mastery Checklist based on the key steps from the entire series to help you stay focused and make steady progress. It’s practical, easy to follow, and designed to keep you moving forward—one decision at a time.


But I didn’t want to stop there.


No Secrets, No Gatekeeping—Just the Good Stuff


Throughout my own journey, I found that the biggest breakthroughs came not from flashy hacks or complicated strategies, but from clear, supportive guidance—and trusted resources I could actually understand and apply. That’s what I want to share with you today.


Below is a carefully curated list of some of my favorite personal finance resources. These books, blogs, podcasts, and websites have inspired me, educated me, and kept me going. I’m sharing them with you in the hope that they’ll do the same.
