Episode Summary

This week’s episode is pretty special because Anastasia's guest is one of the first people to ever to know about $HMONEY (she actually consulted them about the idea for this podcast). 

Fresh out of business school from @mcgillu@swoooooods became a senior investment analyst at a big equity mutual fund in Canada. Basically, she picked stocks for a living. 

After figuring out the corporate life wasn’t for her and after taking an inspiring trip to Africa with an accountant friend, Silvi decided to start a personal finance education business because “there really wasn’t anything in the market for people who wanted to learn about money, yet it’s such a big part of our lives”. 

Fast-forward to today after much success with Wild One Wealth, and Mrs. Woods now works with one of the largest online investing platforms in Canada, @wealthsimple, doing what she does best. 

Today, Silvi chats with Anastasia about some of the most common issues women currently have with money, feelings about their financial health, and sharing it with others. Plus, she breaks down actionable steps that can help you get your affairs in order during the pandemic, stress-free ways to prepare for the future that won’t effect you in the moment, and simple mantras for creating a healthy money mindset.
