Growing up, Alise Kraus watched her mother struggle to make confident decisions about money and find unbiased financial counsel. That experience steered Alise toward becoming a Certified Financial Planner^TM and, more recently, specializing in the unique wealth management needs of female clients at Mercer Advisors.

In this podcast, Alise examines three of the most common obstacles that women—and to an extent, all investors—encounter on their journey toward economic freedom. Then, she and host Doug Fabian lay out six strategies for clearing those roadblocks and asserting greater financial control.

Alise’s encouraging words hold value for anyone who has felt conflicted about their relationship with money or who wants to help someone else—a mother, daughter, sister, friend—take the reins in their financial life.
