Networth and Chill with Your Rich BFF

On this week's episode of Networth and Chill, I'm joined by NYT best selling author, viral speaker, and founder of Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani. Reshma has an extensive career working with girls and women, and talking about what is holding them back in life. As the founder of Girls Who Code, Resham has seen the confidence gap between young girls face first hand, and has been working for years to try and bridge that gap. Women continue to face inequality in the workplace, and for women who choose to become mothers, that inequality only increases. I ask Reshma what disadvantages working women are facing today, and what we can do to combat them. Got a financial question you want answered on a future episode?
