The Power of the Ask

Unlocking Financial Confidence: Journey to Empowerment with Jen Hemphill

Season 1 Episode 13

In this episode of “The Power of the Ask,” Precious Williams and Lisa Zeiderman explore the world of financial confidence with Jen Hemphill, an accredited financial counselor and the host of the podcast “Her Dinero Matters.” Jen shares her journey of becoming a financial counselor, shaped as a military spouse. Her interest in finances developed from managing her household budget and receiving guidance from her husband. After enrolling in the FINRA Foundation Military Spouse Fellowship Program, she became an accredited financial counselor and embraced entrepreneurship to build a flexible career.

Jen’s childhood in Colombia, marked by financial hardship, profoundly shaped her perspective on money. She believes understanding your “money story” is crucial for breaking free from negative patterns and building financial confidence. For Jen, financial confidence is a mindset — trusting your ability to make sound financial decisions, learning from setbacks, and committing to lifelong financial education. She cautions listeners that without this confidence, you could remain stuck, unable to take the necessary steps to improve your financial well-being. 

Join Jen, Precious, and Lisa as they discuss: 

  • Common financial pitfalls, including failing to plan for occasional expenses and not knowing your true bottom line.
  • The impact of mindset and how our beliefs about money influence our financial habits, as well as how to shift those beliefs for greater success.
  • The power of asking! Why it’s crucial for women to advocate for themselves financially and ask the right questions to achieve their goals.
