Financial Literacy, Menopause, and the Money Conversation Women Deserve to Have with Joyce Ingram

What if the reason you feel stuck financially isn't a lack of effort ... it's a lack of information? In this episode, Linda Mackie sits down with Joyce Ingram, a financial educator and advisor with World Financial Group, Evolution Financial. Joyce works with growth-focused career women who are navigating financial stress, confusion, or shame around money — and her mission is simple: no family left behind.
