And She Spoke: Women. Money. Power. Tiffany Aliche and Bouncing Back from ‘Failure’
Today’s guest was love at first listen for us.
Some people are so warm, friendly, and inspiring, that it’s impossible not to light up in their presence too.
And Tiffany Aliche is all of that and more.
America’s favorite Financial Educator, Tiffany has built a career off of educating women on understanding their finances and nurturing a positive relationship with money.
The Tiffany we spoke to today was confident and self-assured.
But she wasn’t always that way.
In fact, back in 2009, Tiffany found herself in a downward spiral - she’d just lost her job as a preschool teacher amidst the recession, was cheated out of money by someone she considered a friend, needed to move back to her middle-school bedroom, and was elbows deep in debt.
However, Tiffany’s story of how she bounced back from those experiences and created a financial movement that’s helped over 1 million women around the world, isn’t just incredible, it’s also awe-inspiring.
And one all women need to hear.
Tune into today’s episode to hear an inspiring woman talk about how she learnt to forgive her mistakes, move forward, and monetize what she excelled at to create something wonderful.
Here’s a peek at what else you can expect:
- What prompted Tiffany to become a preschool teacher
- How her parents instilled financial accountability in her from a young age
- Her experiences with a friend who betrayed her trust (and stole her money)
- The period in her life where she was extremely depressed (and who finally helped break her out of it)
- The incredible story of her business and how she got on Queer Eye!
- Tiffany’s tips for getting magazines and publications to notice you
- The value of hard work and dedication
