Financial services industry has always been a male dominated field. Financial experts giving cookie cutter advice didn’t always fit the mold of most women, like myself. The reality is women face different challenges when it comes to health, relationships, career and money.

When I decided to enter the financial education space, I was so delighted to know that there were other amazing women who were just as passionate about financial literacy.

So, in honor of Women’s History Month, I wanted to share 31 Women Financial Experts you should follow.
