After 21 years in banking, Dr. Mara Harvey became a founder and CEO of “Smart Way to Start”, as well as a public speaker and advocate for financial literacy in girls. She is the author of five beautiful books aiming to educate girls about money and finances. In this interview, she beautifully connects her Swiss mom Vera’s story of being abandoned by her husband with Vera’s teachings about financial independence, and her own passion for financial education for girls and women. You will learn not only about women and money, about the significance of financial independence, but also about why nature is important, why we need to let go of grudges, and how to recognize our parents’ unique ways of showing love.
