Recently, I was a guest on Ivy Slater’s podcast, “Her Success Story,” and we discussed how and why we, as Women of a Certain Age(ncy), must reframe our approach to get what we want to achieve a successful next 50 years.
Here’s Ivy’s recap:
For years, financial planning has been framed as saving for “someday.” But what if the real key to financial confidence was knowing when to save—and when to live?
This week on Her Success Story, I sit down with Sherry Finkel Murphy, Founder of Madrina Molly™, to discuss why women need a new approach to financial planning—one that prioritizes freedom, flexibility, and living life on their terms.
🔑 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:
✔️ The “Year of Not Saving” mindset—why it’s time to enjoy life, not just plan for later.
✔️ Why women are often told they’re doing financial planning “wrong” (and how to shift that narrative).
✔️ How family dynamics across generations shape financial decisions.
✔️ Redefining financial success beyond retirement plans & traditional investments.
💡 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀:
1️⃣ Shift Your Mindset—Financial confidence isn’t just about saving, it’s about strategic living.
2️⃣ Plan for Now & Later—Balance smart financial planning with enjoying the present.
3️⃣ Break the Myths—Your financial future is personal—design it your way.
💬 How do you balance planning for the future while enjoying today?
