When women are empowered with money they become "difference makers." They transform not only their own lives but also those of their children, their families, and their communities at large.

With a profound understanding of the ways that money is "emotional currency" for women she prescribes Eight Holistic Principles (such as Self-Expression and Focus) that allow women to overcome deep-seated blocks, live the lives of their dreams, and "pay forward" their own successes.
