What is your main message or mission?
I believe that YOU are the superstar you've been waiting for and the world needs you to thrive. In every sector, in every country and in every business and social program, the world will thrive if enough women take up the task of mastering their money game then use the freedom that comes from that to change the world.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in Colorado with my brother and a single mom. She had an 8th-grade education so she was very unprepared to fend for herself and two kids at that time. In the '50s marriage was about the only way for women to be financially secure. She struggled to make less than a dollar an hour at a sugar beet factory. She eventually met and married my stepfather, who turned out to be a cruel and jealous man. Life was miserable with him and I didn't understand for many years what fueled my own ambition and the drive to help other women become financially independent. I hope to see a time when no woman has to make relationship decisions based on financial need.
