Her specialty is empowering women to discover their unique path to financial independence. One thing we love the most about Cary is how radically transparent she is with her clients. Just call her the "Queen of Transparency" because she shares her tax return, investment portfolio and other parts of her financial life with them. In our conversation with her we discuss: The Great Wealth Transfer that she talks about in her latest book, 'Women and Wealth.' The unique needs of women and the psychology driving their financial decisions. The played out “widows and divorcees” stereotypes of women. Her analogy of comparing different shoes to asset classes. What women really want from financial professionals (hint: it's not just beating the market).

In this month's Smart Planning segment, a financial advisor discusses how to build a smarter debt payoff plan without sacrificing long-term financial goals. What's the smartest way to make progress on credit card debt when budgeting alone isn't cutting it? When can debt consolidation tools actually make your situation worse? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss strategies for getting out of debt without sacrificing long-term financial stability. But first, they begin with a round of Smart Money, Dumb Money, Fun Money, where they talk about some of the smartest, dumbest and “funnest” things they've seen in the world of money lately, from maximizing credit card rewards to avoiding loyalty traps with insurance providers to choosing which splurges are actually worth it. Then, they're joined by Daniel Messeca, Certified Financial Planner and co-host of the Check Your Balances podcast, to help listener Safia weigh whether tapping their 403(b) to pay off $36,000 in credit card debt is a smart move. Together, they explore how to evaluate the long-term tradeoffs of using retirement funds, how to spot and plug budget leaks, and how nonprofit credit counseling, 403(b) loans, and even bankruptcy might fit into a comprehensive debt payoff plan.

Brian chats with Erika Rodriguez, founder and CEO of Nadi Marketing and co-founder of Tidal Pages. Erika specializes in partnership marketing for sustainable and purpose-driven businesses. In this episode, she shares how being laid off led her to entrepreneurship, the power of niching down, and how authentic partnerships can amplify your impact. Erika also details why email should be a top marketing priority and how joy, connection, and community have shaped her businesses. Episode Highlights Mission-driven businesses prioritize sustainability. Erika defines a mission-driven business as one that prioritizes sustainability throughout the entire product lifecycle -- from who makes the products to how they're disposed of. “They don't create the product just to make profits,” she said. “They actually think about the whole lifecycle of their product and about more of the people in the planet that they serve.” Niching down makes marketing easier. When Erika started Nadi Marketing in 2020, she offered a full suite of marketing services: websites, blog posts, social media, and events. But after deciding to follow what brings her joy, she niched down to specializing in partnership marketing for sustainable businesses. She's now seen as an expert in her field and the work itself has become a lot easier for her. “It made me target my marketing more, and it's putting me as the expert,” she said. “The client work has been so much easier because I enjoy that work.” Partnership marketing allows for mutual growth. Erika defines partnership marketing as collaborating with another business to create a marketing campaign, product, bundle, or other shared initiative. The goal is to build relationships that benefit both parties and align with shared values. “If we can find businesses the right partners, then they can make partnerships specifically for impact,” she said. “We can do so much more together.” Build your community. Building a business is not easy, which is why Erika hopes that all entrepreneurs have a community to support them during tough times. During the pandemic, Erika built her social media community by organically connecting with people on Instagram, which turned into IRL relationships. She encouraged other business owners to lean on the partners they have in their communities. “Start with the connections and partners that you have,” she said. “Everyone has a network already, but maybe you're not leveraging it.” Resources + Links “Start with Why” by Simon Sinek Erika Rodriguez: LinkedIn Nadi Marketing: Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Tidal Pages: Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook Brian Thompson Financial: Website, Newsletter, Podcast Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

In this episode of the Deep Shift series, Carl explores how tactical curiosity—like obsessing over budgeting apps or fueling strategies—often hides something deeper. What starts as a surface-level decision can lead to a powerful emotional insight. Maybe it's not about interest rates… maybe it's about fear, identity, or old family patterns. Carl walks us through why it's easier to talk spreadsheets than shame—and how simply asking, “Why are you asking?” can crack open the truth.Want more from Carl?

It's one that focuses on stability of cash flows over time.” The panel discusses why shifting your mindset from maximizing account balances to managing sustainable cash flow is key to peace of mind. Work, Entrepreneurship, and Purpose Play Critical Roles in a Modern Retirement Kerry Hannon points out that working longer—whether through career extension, entrepreneurship, or passion projects—can boost both financial security and life satisfaction. “How can you continue to work longer? It's a dramatic way to give yourself some security in retirement if you can stay working longer.” The episode explores creative ways Gen X and boomers are redefining "retirement." There's No One-Size-Fits-All: Frameworks vs. Rules Roger Whitney insists that “the answer to almost every question...is ‘It depends'.” No single formula fits everyone; a personalized, evolving plan that balances what you want out of life with practical financial strategies is essential. The episode delves into why regular reviews and customized “guardrails” are more important than rigid withdrawal rules. Guardrails, Buckets, and Behavioral Coaching Are More Vital Than Ever Jamie Hopkins and Dana Anspach review popular strategies like bucket and guardrails approaches, emphasizing that tools and behavioral coaching work best when tailored to each retiree's unique needs and anxieties. Jamie also warns about new financial threats: “I think that fraud...is going to become rampant. It's the biggest concern out there...it's a big concern.” Call-to-Action If you've been feeling uncertain about your own retirement income plan, here's your assignment for the week: Take 30 minutes to map out your expected sources of income in retirement—pensions, Social Security, savings, investments—and identify any potential gaps.
