Here's the truth nobody's telling you: You're stuck because you haven't recognized your own value. You want the people at work to notice you, but how can they recognize you if you don't even see yourself? In this episode of the Confident Woman Lead Podcast, Coach Anita gets real about the uncomfortable truth holding you back—and it's not your work ethic. You'll learn: Why hiding in the background and letting others speak for your work is costing you promotions and pay. How to stop looking for external validation and start owning your wins unapologetically. The role of self-recognition in shifting from “doer” to leader—and how to make that leap today. This episode isn't just talk; it's the wake-up call you need to rewrite your career story. You don't need more certifications, more long hours, or more waiting. You need to see yourself, speak like a leader, and step into rooms knowing you belong. If you're tired of feeling stuck in the middle, press play. It's time to move from overlooked to unstoppable. Let's get to work.

**About The Guest(s):**Rebecca is a successful entrepreneur, author, and speaker. She has overcome a challenging upbringing and has gone on to achieve great success in her career and personal life. Rebecca emphasizes the importance of the family unit and the role of fathers in society. **Summary:**Rebecca and Trevor discuss the significance of the family unit and the role of fathers in society. They highlight the power of having both parents present in a child's life and the importance of structure and strictness in raising children. Rebecca shares her personal journey of overcoming a difficult upbringing and becoming a successful entrepreneur. **Key Takeaways:** The family unit is central to the success of America, and it is essential to value fathers and their role. Boys, in particular, need a male figure in their lives to provide guidance and set boundaries. Structure and strictness are crucial for children's development and should not be undermined. Taking responsibility for your child's upbringing is essential, as a neighborhood or community cannot replace parental involvement. **Quotes:** "The family unit is central to the success of America." "A boy definitely needs a man to say, okay, we're not dealing with that. We're not going to do that today." "Kids need to have structure. They weren't meant to raise themselves." "A neighborhood cannot raise your child. You are responsible for your child." **Chapters:** (0:00:00) Rebecca's Challenging Upbringing and Custody Loss(0:03:47) A Life-Changing Decision and Quest for Purpose(0:09:37) Entering State Government via a Welfare Program(0:10:49) The Influence of Your Surroundings on Success(0:13:44) Seek New Rooms If You're the Smartest(0:14:16) Hiring for Skill and Drive(0:16:35) From Coffee Runner to Running Things in Six Years(0:19:24) Positive Obsession and Laser Focus(0:20:37) Transforming from a Labeled "Loser" to Success(0:21:06) Embracing Failures and Using Them for Success(0:22:04) Taking Control of Your Narrative and Battling Shame(0:22:59) Empowering Inner-City Girls Through Mentorship(0:25:23) Overcoming Tragedy and Trauma to Progress(0:26:31) Society's Cycle: Great Times to Weak People(0:26:58) Personal Transformation from Weakness to Strength(0:29:04) Navigating Bureaucracy and Corporate Politics(0:30:44) Adapting to Different Environments for Success(0:31:37) Making Small Changes within Your Sphere(0:31:59) Transitioning from Government to New Opportunities(0:32:25) Battling Impostor Syndrome in the White House(0:34:27) Clay's Empowering Support for Rebecca(0:38:33) Speaking Life into Others(0:43:51) Working with Resolved Leaders in the White House(0:44:38) Becoming the Corporate Head of HR at Treasury(0:45:34) Transitioning to Nonprofit Work and Consulting(0:47:03) Entrepreneurship Journey in Federal Practice(0:48:34) Breaking the Cycle of Dysfunction(0:50:08) The Significance of the Family Unit **Additional Resources**

This episode honours and celebrate some of the amazing, trailblazing women that have come before us, and radically transformed life as we know it. The purpose is to highlight how far we've come as a society, and how much we've moved the needle over centuries... but there's still much work to be done. After all, it wasn't until the mid 1950's that single women in Canada were able to open bank accounts, and we stopped viewing women as dependants of their husbands or fathers. In this episode, I highlight the stories of: 5:18 - Ada Lovelace9:26 - Lilian Bland11:48 - Margaret Hamilton14:40 - Madam CJ Walker19:27 - Maggie Lena Walker22:00 - Muriel Siebert25:04 - Geraldine Weis✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

Season 5 of the Miss Findependent Podcast starts off with me explaining my plan to live a ‘non-traditional life' and become work optional by 40. I walk you through how to set long term financial goals, and give you a blueprint for how you can also plan to live off your investments, at whatever age you decide.This season is going to be packed with content. New full episodes will still be released every Wednesday, and an AMA (ask me anything) mini-episode is launching every Monday as well. In this episode I dive into the FI/RE movement. Heard of it?It's a movement of young people focused on becoming financially independent and retiring early. Some people plan to do this by 30, with Lean FIRE… but I'm not trying to live off microwaveable ramen for the next 5 years in order to cut expenses. I explain the different types of FIRE and how increasing your income and building strong investing goals can help you become work optional sooner. Here's more of what I get into: 2:05 - How to stop procrastinating5:00 - When I discovered FI/RE10:37 - The FI/RE Movement25:51 - How to calculate your FI/RE number29:36 - BRRRR StrategyYou're Not So Smart EpisodeCompound Interest Calculator✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

We start at the very beginning. Who was Samuel Bankman-Fried, mainly known by his initials SBF? How did he build his crypto fortune? Did he always come from money?In this week's episode of The Miss Findependent Podcast, I get into all of this and more. This isn't some fluff piece. This is the full story… with updates from his employees, details about his political involvement, and some insight into what shaped him to be the man he is today. SBF comes off as a big philanthropist, guided by his belief in altruism. Some say philanthropist. I say fraudster. SBF single handedly loses his fortune of $17.2 Billion, declares a chapter 11 bankruptcy, and causes thousands of people to lose not only their hard earned money, but also their faith in crypto. In case you haven't heard of SBF - Sam Bankman-Fried is an entrepreneur and former founder/CEO of FTX, FTX.US, and Alameda Research, but if this story is the titanic, this is just the tip of the iceberg.Here's what we get into in detail:1:55 - Who is Sam Bankman-Fried5:14 - Arbitrage6:53 - How does SBF become a Billionaire?9:00 - Scaling FTX14:20 - The Bahamas15:40 - The Downfall of FTX25:35 - The Residual Impact31:33 - SBF Political Involvement✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

Every time I see someone pay for something with a debit card, and they're above the age of 18, I cringe on the inside. Credit cards are not evil. In fact, credit cards can be an incredible tool that help you build credit history which is essential for every single adult. Outside of that, they also have AMAZING perks ranging from insurance,  letting you travel for free, giving you cash back to help pay for your balance. In this episode I go through the different types of credit cards, and the most common types of benefits that most people don't know about. Here's what I get into in detail: 5:27 - How do you choose the right card?6:30 - Student Cards7:02 - Business Cards7:18 - Store Cards10:12 - Cash Back Cards12:36 - Travel Cards17:32 - Rewards Cards25:11 - Rental Car Insurance26:35 - Mobile Device Insurance28:32 - Purchase Insurance31:22 - Airport LoungesCredit Karma✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

To rent or to buy… the age old question A lot of millennials have stopped asking the question because they feel buying real estate is far out of reach. And on top of that, there's so much societal pressure that suggests renting is burning cash, and owning real estate is like a right of passage for adulthood. I debunk both of these myths. Personal finance is.. Personal. Buying or renting is a conscious decision that shouldn't be taken lightly.Buying real estate can be a great tool for wealth, but if buying is out of reach, or you're living in a highly overvalued market, renting and investing the difference, when done strategically can pay massive dividends… literally, like if you invest an amount equal to a downpayment in dividend paying stocks.There's a lot of costs associated with buying outside just saving for a downpayment. There's mortgage payments, transaction costs, interest….In this episode I break down common misconceptions, and quantify exactly what the criteria is to be approved for a mortgage. I break down how to save for a downpayment, how long it'll take in specific markets assuming you are saving 10% of your income monthly.I dive into different scenarios and show you where it makes more financial sense to rent vs. buy, and how to run the calculations.Here's what I get into: 4:53 - Rent vs. buying situations10:00 - How to save for a downpayment11:52 - How mortgages are calculated17:28 - GDS and TDS ratios26:07 - Building Equity27:46 - Price-to-Rent ratio33:43 - Opportunity costHousing Affordability NBC✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

In this episode, I sit down with Viler Lika, the founder and CEO of SingleKey, which takes the stress out of renting. It helps landlords find the right tenants, and helps manage the risks that come with renting - serving both the landlord, and the tenant. They're like a bridge that makes managing that relationship easier. It's a platform that I use myself, and that's why I was really looking forward to this conversation. I met Viler a couple years ago and have seen his business grow and evolve. It's an incredible platform and Viler has so much insight into the rental market, stemming from his daily conversations with customers. He's incredibly in-tune with challenges both landlords and tenants face, and that's mainly what we dive into here. A little bit about Viler… he holds an MBA from Ivey Business School and a computer engineering degree from the University of Toronto. Prior to Single Key, he led a data science team at TD bank in consumer credit, and started his career in Credit Risk at Capital One. He is an experienced entrepreneur having successfully founded and exited a previous company. Viler is passionate about innovation in the financial sector and the disrupting power of FinTech.Here's what we get into: 2:20 - What's Going on In The Rental Market10:42 - Defining Proptech12:03 - How SingleKey Started17:04 - Rent Guarantee for Landlords21:48 - Landlord Fraud27:29 - Know Your Rights as a Tenant38:40 - Standard Rent Agreements47:41 - Adding Supply To the Market49:06 - Pay Rent and Build Credit History with SingleKeyConnect with Viler: Learn More on SingleKey's WebsiteConnect with SingleKey on Instagram✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

For all you guys asking, begging, coercing me into sharing my skincare routine… fine. Fine… I'll share it with you. This is my secret to having clear, dewy, and hydrated skin. I hate how consumer culture focuses more heavily on which products people put on their skin, rather than how they organize their finances… but if that's what it takes to get your attention, to make looking at your financial systems fun, so be it. Skin care is important, don't get me wrong. It's the largest organ in the body. But your financial systems are equally if not, more important. They're what set you up for success, or add unnecessary financial stress that causes you to age prematurely. And nobody. Nobody. Needs unnecessary wrinkles. We're trying to age with grace here. With grace, and with a FAT retirement account. When it comes to skincare, I'm a pretty lazy person. In fact on a daily basis I only use a few products (cleanser, moisturizer, SPF, and sometimes, when I'm not super lazy, eye cream). But on a weekly basis (or monthly), let's be real. I add in a few extra things, like exfoliant and serums that keep me looking glow-y. So… are you ready for your financial glow up?Here's the secret: 8:46 - Step 1: Cleanser16:52 - Step 2: Exfoliating21:38 - Step 3: Toner26:15 - Step 4: Eye Cream33:45 - Step 5: Moisturizer37:10 - Step 6: SPF41:05 - Step 7: Facials Huberman Lab Episode:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ebY3WNejLNbK47emgjd1E?si=f232f2ae099b4a7c✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

From Forex and crypto trading to binary options, financial scams are everywhere and scammers are praying on the uneducated, money-driven individuals who engage in online communities.  The content behind this episode is sparked by my recent experience being impersonated. Instagram is currently investigating the account, however this is not the first time this has happened. Scam artists thrive on social media because they're able to quickly build trust and target a specific audience. Friendly reminder - I will never DM you on any platform asking you how your trading is doing, or to ask you for money. I only ever ask my fiance for money, and even that's in the rare instance when I need to get my nails done and don't have cash on hand. In this episode I go over how to avoid falling into the trap of being taken advantage of financially. I bring to light the most common types of scams and teach you how to point them out. Here's what I get into in detail: 2:15 - Why scammers love social media7:38 - Investing in Gold12:32 - Crypto Scams15:41 - Binary Options19:08 - Forex Scams22:26 - Pump & Dump Schemes25:50 - Retirement Savings Unlocking Scheme✩ CONNECT WITH ME: ✩Instagram: @missfindependentTikTok: @nikafarbLearn more at missfindependent.comFor contact or business inquiries: media@missfindependent.com

Taking risks is hard. Especially for women because we are biologically programmed to have less testosterone, and that affects the way we respond to stressful situations. Studies show that the propensity for risk taking decreases for women, when we encounter stress, but actually increases for men. Even though we're programmed this way, it doesn't mean we can't reprogram our mind to actually take more calculated risks. In this episode I provide actionable tips for how you can learn to take risks and manage uncertainty.
