Get Ready: Before Life Happens Podcast
How Women Can Build Investing Confidence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Investing confidence begins with asking better questions and taking consistent action.
In this conversation, Diana Perkins shares how curiosity, emotional regulation, and asking better questions can shift you from reactive to confident, especially for women who’ve been conditioned to stay on the sidelines.
Key Takeaways
🔹Curiosity builds investing confidence by shifting you from reacting to responding.
🔹Women are often conditioned away from investing, even though they tend to generate strong long-term returns.
🔹Markets run on fear and greed, so emotional control creates an edge.
🔹Time in the market matters more than timing the market.
🔹You can start investing with what you have and within your risk tolerance.
🔹Small action reduces fear and weakens limiting beliefs.
🔹An abundance mindset expands what feels possible financially.
🔹Save and invest first so you can spend the rest guilt-free.
