Why Traditional Finance Advice Doesn’t Speak to Women Like Us — and How to Take Back Control
If you’ve ever felt like most personal finance advice doesn’t speak to your life, you’re not imagining it.
It’s difficult to find personal finance information for women dealing with the extra challenges that come from a marriage or relationship breakdown — especially when financial abuse has left you starting over from scratch.
She’s Worth It exists because we need more than just money tips.
We need healing, rebuilding, and reclaiming — stability, independence, and abundance after life has knocked us down.
Why So Much Financial Advice Feels Out of Reach
A lot of personal finance content — especially online — comes from people who had very different starting points:
They didn’t have kids yet (or at all).
They didn’t carry the emotional and mental load of healing from trauma.
They weren’t fighting mental health battles alongside financial ones.
They had the time and bandwidth to side hustle, invest aggressively, or start businesses.
Many were young, energetic, and free to focus solely on their goals.
That’s not the reality for so many of us, especially single mothers and women rebuilding after relationship trauma.
And honestly?
It’s not just about money advice feeling off.
It’s about life advice too.
So many millennial women were sold the dream: “You can have it all!” — career, family, financial success — without being told that "having it all" often means doing it all, alone, without the village that it truly takes to raise a child.
We’re expected to juggle work, motherhood, self-care, and financial stability, often without adequate support, affordable childcare, or time to even breathe.
No wonder traditional financial advice doesn’t land.
It wasn't made for our reality.
Why She’s Worth It Exists
I created She’s Worth It because while there was plenty of financial advice out there, most of it didn’t feel like it was speaking to women like me.
I didn’t need another budgeting spreadsheet made by someone who had endless free time and no real responsibilities.
I had a child to provide for.
I was exhausted — mentally, physically, emotionally.
I was scared for my future.
What I needed was real advice, real strategies, and — most importantly — real understanding.
Here at She’s Worth It, we focus on more than just money:
We rebuild self-worth alongside savings.
We grow confidence alongside investments.
We create stability rooted not just in wealth, but in emotional resilience.
Because for women like us, money isn’t just math.
It’s freedom.
It’s dignity.
It’s healing.
Learning From People Whose Lives Look Nothing Like Yours
It’s tempting to dismiss advice from people whose privilege is obvious.
And yes — privilege matters.
It shapes what’s possible and how fast progress can happen.
But one of the best lessons I learned was this:
You can always take something useful and leave the rest.
A lot of the people I learnt from online had lives that looked nothing like mine, and yet, I still picked up ideas, strategies, and mindsets that helped me move forward.
You don’t have to copy anyone’s journey exactly.
You’re allowed to adapt, customise, and forge your own path.
You’re Doing Something So Much Harder — and So Much Braver
Rebuilding your finances while you rebuild your life is a double burden most people can’t even imagine.
You’re healing wounds and balancing budgets.
You’re raising children and raising your self-worth.
You’re navigating mental load and money management, often without a safety net.
It’s slower.
It’s heavier.
But it’s also stronger.
You are forging a kind of resilience that no quick-fix financial advice could ever teach.
But you don’t have to do this alone.
She’s Worth It is here offering information, encouragement, and community that truly sees you.
If you haven't already, I invite you to sign up for our free newsletter, filled with guidance, real-life strategies, and reminders that you are already enough.
Because you’re not just building a better bank account.
You’re building a better life.
