Money, Mindset & Power: Building Financial Confidence with Nancy Griffin
About this Episode
What if financial confidence wasn’t about having more money but about trusting yourself?
In this episode, Ashley is joined by Nancy Griffin, founder of Women, Worth, and Wellness, for an honest and empowering conversation about money, mindset, and the systems that have historically kept women from fully owning their financial power.
Nancy breaks down the myths that hold women back from financial independence and reframes wealth as a tool for freedom, health, impact, and choice - not intimidation or shame.
Together, Ashley and Nancy explore how confidence compounds, why asking questions is a leadership skill, and how women can take small, intentional steps to build long-term financial clarity.
They talk about
Why financial confidence directly impacts emotional, professional, and physical well-being
The myths that make women believe they’re “bad with money”
How to find a trusted wealth advisor and what red flags to watch for
What fiduciary responsibility actually means for financial advisors
Daily habits that build financial confidence (even if numbers intimidate you)
Navigating financial advice on social media and knowing what to trust
Why estate planning matters at every age - not just later in life
Life insurance as a strategic financial tool for younger generations
The powerful connection between health, wealth, and leadership
Philanthropy, stewardship, and aligning money with values
What it really means to unleash your inner queen through financial self-trust
Show Notes
Financial Confidence Is a Leadership Skill: Nancy explains why women don’t lack ability - they lack permission. Building financial literacy strengthens confidence across every area of life, from career decisions to personal well-being.
Finding the Right Wealth Advisor: A good advisor doesn’t talk at you - they bring you into the conversation. Nancy shares what credentials matter, why clarity is non-negotiable, and how to advocate for yourself if you’re dismissed.
Daily Practices That Compound: You don’t need to become a market expert overnight. Simple habits - like tracking the S&P or reading morning headlines - build familiarity, confidence, and agency over time.
Wealth Planning Is Holistic: True wealth planning includes health challenges, business goals, retirement, family care, and unexpected life moments. Nancy reframes wealth as preparation, not prediction.
Estate Planning Isn’t Morbid - It’s Empowering: Planning for the “what ifs” is an act of leadership. Nancy explains how reframing end-of-life conversations can actually create peace and clarity.
Health and Wealth Are Connected: Confidence in your health enables confidence in your finances. Nancy encourages women to lead in both areas - by asking questions, seeking experts, and staying informed.
Unleashing Your Inner Queen: For Nancy, unleashing your inner queen means leading with energy, discernment, and courage - addressing challenges quickly while choosing to focus on what builds momentum and purpose.
