Money Talk with the Money Queen
money queen cover
Today I’m talking to Cary Carbonaro, a Certified Financial Planner, and author of the bestselling book, The Money Queen’s Guide: For Women Who Want to Build Wealth and Banish Fear. I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of Cary’s book and read it before our interview, and I really enjoyed it. Cary’s focus for the book and in her practice is to help women with money, but I truly believe that this book and our conversation will benefit anyone who doesn’t feel in control of their finances.
