What if your financial story was something you felt empowered and excited by?In this episode, Jessica sits down with Britt Baker, seasoned investor and co-founder of Dow Janes. Britt has a background in consulting and a degree from Harvard Business School, however, it wasn't until years later, when she saw many of her close friends struggling with their own finances that she realized how many women lacked the financial literacy to build wealth.In this conversation, Britt breaks down the exact steps she teaches to get out of debt, build an emergency fund, invest with confidence (even if you've never done it before), and move from financial fear into financial freedom. – basically, everything you wish you learned in school. This is more than a conversation about saving and investing—it's a holistic look at how healing your relationship with money unlocks manifestation. If you've ever felt stuck in survival mode, afraid to look at your bank account, or convinced investing “just isn't for you,” this episode is for you. Get ready to rewrite your money narrative and step into the identity of someone who is not only financially secure, but magnetic.Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: SALE IS LIVE! $22/monthJoin the Pathway MembershipJoin our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HERE Get the latest from TBMJoin our Money Challenge - 3 weeks to your next level of abundanceTake our Free Money Quiz - find out what level of wealth consciousness you are at Join the Pathway now to get full access to our Money Challenge now! New to TBM?
