Way back in 1985, my sister Mia took my twin brother Jimmy and me to see Back to the Future. Shortly after leaving the theater, her car ran out of gas and my brother started balling his eyes out as he thought we'd be left for dead on the side of the road. Fortunately, we were only in Darien, Connecticut and a block away from a gas station so disaster was averted. I bring this up for two reasons; 1. Today's guest, Kelley Holland, had a similar experience while driving to her first job and 2. I simply can't resist taking a jab at my brother. Meet Kelley Holland: Kelley is the founder and CEO of Own Your Destiny, which provides financial coaching and empowerment programs to help women gain the confidence and knowledge they need to achieve well-being and live life on their terms. She blends her knowledge of finance with communications expertise developed over two decades as an award-winning business and personal finance journalist with The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and CNBC. She recently joined me on Uncorking a Story to discuss her book, You Are Worthy: Change Your Money Mindset, Build Your Wealth, and Fund Your Future. Key Topics: How the one-two punch of having a mother who worked for decades on women's empowerment and a father who was an English professor put her on the path of becoming a coach and writer focused on helping women gain financial freedom. How her own experience literally running on fumes while driving to her first job taught her a valuable life lesson. How Kelley helps women change their mindset around money and build the skills to take charge of their financial life. Why Kelley doesn't refer to mistakes with regards to poor financial decisions and prefers the term hurdles. Why it is important for her to donate a portion of her book sales to CAMFED, the campaign for female education. “You can do this. You know more than you think you do. You deserve this, and it's within your reach. Trust yourself, take your time, and you can get to a better place.” — Kelley Holland Buy You are Worthy Amazon:https://amzn.to/3Mn4qhj Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/9781647422394 Connect with Kelley Website: https://ownyourdestinycoaching.com/ Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OYDFinanceCoach Twitter: https://twitter.com/OYDFinanceCoach LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/own-your-destiny/ Learn more about CAMFED, the Campaign for Female Education: https://camfed.org/us/ Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSvS4fuG3L1JMZeOyHvfk_g Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you like this episode, please share it with a friend.

We are at a time of unprecedented upheaval and none is more affected, around the world, than women and women of color. On the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Platform of Action, in the very year that we were meant to honor and redouble our commitment to gender equity, even the limited gains of the last two decades hazard being swiftly and summarily rolled back. Here to discuss why these inequalities are so critical to redress is (my and) a #shero of global proportions: the Honorable Julia Gillard, Australia’s 27th Prime Minister and Leader of the Labor Party, from 2010 to 2013. To this day, Julia is the first and only woman to have served as Australia’s Prime Minister. She is the Inaugural Chair of the Global Institute for Women’s Leadership at King’s College, London; Chair of Australia’s leading mental health awareness organization, Beyond Blue; Chair of the Global Partnership for Education; Patron of Camfed, the Campaign for Female Education; and, just announced, Chair-elect of the Wellcome Trust. Most recently, Julia published her second book, Women and Leadership: Real Lives, Real Lessons, with former Nigerian Finance Minister Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala — sharing the experience and advice of some of our most extraordinary women leaders, in their own words. I am so honored, and grateful, that Julia joined us, and so thrilled to be able to share our conversation with all of you. For more about Julia, check out her website. View her famed misogyny speech, which rocked the world for its “masterful, righteous take-down” of sexism. Read "Essays on Equality," the Global Institute for Women's Leadership's report on the gendered impacts of COVID-19. And learn more about and purchase Julia's new book, Women and Leadership.

In episode number six of 2AUTHENTIC, we unravel how patriarchal societies oppress women through controlling their access to education. Education is used as a privilege that is being given or taken away by the people in power. Instead of empowering females and supporting their independence, patriarchal systems feed off a lack of education amongst females.

Tanyella Evans grew up in the highlands of Scotland, which she describes as “the middle of nowhere.” At age 16 she received a scholarship to study at a United World College in Vancouver, BC, Canada. There she learned alongside two hundred students from eighty eight countries. At age 17, the United World College sponsored her on a one-year trip to Uganda as a volunteer teacher. There she saw the difference that an education can make to an eager mind. Globally, five of the six billion mobile phone subscribers live in the developing world. At the same time, 250 million children cannot read and write. Library for All is building a digital library to take advantage of mobile devices in order to overcome global illiteracy. They are currently working in Haiti, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Cambodia. Tanyella’s story is a story of serendipity, but also putting yourself in a serendipity-rich environment. It’s about community, but it’s also about building the community. It’s about moving developing countries along the path of development, but using technology to speed change while making the changes sustainable over time.

Ann Cotton is one of the most recognized social entrepreneurs in the world for her work educating over three million children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Her organization, Camfed, the Campaign for Female Education, has demonstrated that educating girls and young women has a significant, positive impact on a country by reducing the spread of AIDS and improving both infant and maternal mortality and increasing household incomes. Camfed approaches its work built on the foundation of the following three value statements: Focus on the Girl: All of our programs begin with an individual girl in rural Africa. By looking at the world from her perspective, we work to dismantle the hurdles in her way to obtaining an education and living a healthy adult life. We’re answerable first and foremost to her. Involve the Community: Change can’t happen without community support. We believe people living in rural communities are best placed to solve the problems around them. Community members of all levels help with our program design and implementation. Operate Transparent, Accountable Programs: We place transparency at the core of our operations. Unique social and financial auditing systems are used in a monitoring process that safeguards girls and young women. Built on this foundation, Camfed has been recognized repeatedly role in lifting families out of poverty.
