This one is personal.
I went to a STEM school, and I was one of a handful of girls in my math classes — this was the 90s and early 2000s, and nobody was in any hurry to change that.
Later, in sales and business development, I chased the highest-paying roles on purpose — real commission structures, President's Club trips — and I was, again, usually one of the only women at the table.
Then in my MBA cohort in the UK, in 2018, women made up about a third of us. I still wonder whether that was the tuition, or whether women just don't reach for an MBA — or investing, or a chunk of their own upside — the way men default to.
I am an investor. And — as I keep telling people — I love money. Not in an abstract way. For what it actually does: it buys freedom, it buys choices, it buys a good education for my son. Not enough women say that plainly. So I'm going to.
And now to the part that isn't just my story.
Women across Europe are still paid less than men for the same work, and that gap follows us straight into how confident we feel managing what we do earn — far fewer women than men will tell you, honestly, that they feel confident with their own money. That's not a character flaw. It's what happens when the loudest financial advice out there is written for someone else, and the quiet, specific kind almost never gets written for us at all.
The actual numbers behind both of those are in the next two posts — I didn't want to bury the personal reason in statistics here.
So that's what Your Money, Your AI is.
Not a ‘Use these 5 prompts, and Claude will manage your funds’, not a lecture, not one more thing to save and never get back to 😉
Just the real structure and mechanics of money — and increasingly, of using AI well — written the way I wish someone had written it for me: plainly, honestly, and like I actually expect you to keep up.
If I manage to change what "confident with money" looks like for you, for us, for the next generation of girls, that will be a win for me. Join the movement and spread the word!
