272. Financial Confidence, Intentionally: Values, Partnership, and Clear Choiceswith Tiffany Irving

Описание: Money can feel heavy, stressful, and overwhelming — especially when we were never taught how to talk about it.

In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead!, host Yo Canny sits down with Tiffany Irving, Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisor at Mesirow Wealth Management, for a grounded, human conversation about building financial confidence — intentionally.

This isn’t about becoming an expert or having everything figured out.
It’s about clarity, partnership, and making choices that align with your values — at every age and stage of life.

Tiffany brings more than 25 years of experience working with individuals, families, and nonprofit organizations, along with a personal story shaped by growing up in a single-parent household and witnessing financial stress firsthand. That lived experience fuels her passion for empowering women and girls around money — without shame or intimidation.
