Financial freedom is a form of personal empowerment, and Financial Advisor Gigi Thakor is helping people do just that. She believes money should bring you peace - that\'s the concept of her business, ShantiNow, where she provides financial coaching to companies and people of different incomes. She helps them have a better relationship with money by teaching them how to make peace with it, manage their debt, and create a savings and goal-based investing plan, to name a few. Gigi is certified by NYU in real estate investment. With over 12 years of experience in the financial business, she has acquired lots of financial knowledge that she shares with us in this episode. She also opens up about what it was like for her to grow up as a child of immigrant parents and the early days of her career, making emphasis on how some of her previous life experiences that didn\'t seem positive at the time, led her to be the wise and successful businesswoman she is now. Get inspired by Gigi\'s story and don\'t skip this opportunity to get advice (that every woman needs to hear) from a real expert in the matter. Financial awareness and money management skills provide women with a greater sense of security, making it simpler to save and invest for the future.
