Amanda Edwards, financial coach and business mentor, shares how losing her father at age 11 shaped her view of money and why she’s now passionate about helping women build lasting stability and confidence.We talk about the early experiences that shape our money habits, why many women still step back from long-term financial planning, and how to find balance between caregiving, risk-taking, and independence. Amanda also opens up about the courage it takes to price your work fairly, the importance of keeping your hands on the wheel when it comes to money, and the mindset shift that begins with “no shame, no blame - start from today.” Her definition of a rich life is simple yet powerful: freedom from worry, and freedom to choose.Best Moments:“I realized money can make you feel incredibly vulnerable, and that vulnerability can shape your whole life.”“The riskiest thing you can do with your money is nothing.”“You want to know if you have a thriving business, not an expensive hobby.”“That bit about stating your real rate; that’s part of sustainability.”“No shame, no blame. Just start from today.”“Richness isn’t always loud or fast. Sometimes it’s the quiet confidence of knowing your foundations are strong.”Key Takeaways:Financial stability is a foundation you build, not something you wait for.Women often manage day-to-day finances but shy away from long-term planning; it’s time to reclaim that seat at the table.Confidence with money grows from knowledge and visibility, not avoidance.Pricing fairly is an act of sustainability; for you and for those you serve.Staying “hands on the wheel” with your money allows you to course-correct before things drift too far.The best time to start is always today.Resources & LinksAmanda Edwards - tidymymoney.comSubscribe to Aishat's newsletter on LinkedIn Join Aishat's mailing listAbout your host:Aishat is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.
