Unstoppable: 6 Black Female Entrepreneurs You Need To Know
In the United States, Black women are the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs. Historically, Black females have earned less than men and caucasian women with the same education and experience, but thankfully Black pioneers (and their allies) are working tirelessly to change this. As our nation continues to fight for equality in funding and in every other aspect of life, Black women continue to blaze a path. As we celebrate Black History Month, HerMoney wants you to meet six successful Black female entrepreneurs who have accomplished some
incredibly inspiring feats — you’ll want to know their names.
The Psychology Behind Our Shopping Habits
Have you ever seen an ad on Facebook or Instagram for something you didn’t really need, but you ended up buying it anyway? If the answer is yes, it’s probably because you saw three magic words: "limited time only." We’re mysteriously drawn to open up our wallets whenever we feel like something we want is in short supply. But why? And how can we fight this urge to spend? On this week’s HerMoney Podcast*, Dr. Mindy Weinstein, author of "The Power of Scarcity" talks about the marketing tactics used by corporations to snag our
dollars, and how to make sure FOMO (fear of missing out) doesn’t blow your budget. For anyone looking to save more money in 2023 or become a smarter shopper, this week’s episode is a must-listen.

Stop the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Grind
While we often think maybe we’re the only ones struggling to make our paychecks stretch until the end of the month, the truth is, we’re not alone. The high earners among us — those bringing in $100,000 or more per year — aren’t immune to monthly money struggles. In fact, this group is struggling
even more today: 51% of those who earn $100,000 or more a year say they live paycheck-to-paycheck, 9.3 million more than this time last year, according to new survey data. Sound familiar? We talked to financial experts for tips on breaking the paycheck-to-paycheck grind. (Hint: It may not be as hard as you think.) You got
this!
The Heart of The Matter
Not to be a buzzkill right after a candy-filled Valentine’s Day, but we need to talk about your heart health. And since February is heart health month and heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. for women, it’s vital to ensure this hardworking organ receives the attention it deserves. Afterall, everything we do – from exercise to the foods we eat and our stress levels – contributes to our overall heart health. We spoke with leading experts on some easy, everyday changes you can make on a path to better health and wellness. After all, you’re the only you you’ve got.
Love & Money Fights: A Couples Counselor Weighs In
In every relationship, there comes a point when you’ll disagree with your significant other about money. The issue could be big (how do we pay off our debts?) or small (how much should we spend on dinner?), but what’s guaranteed is that you’ll eventually butt heads. And once that happens, the last thing you want is to get sucked into a heated argument which may or may not have anything to do with actual money. Elizabeth Earnshaw, a couples therapist and co-founder of the counseling service OURS Wellness, says fights about finances are often "veiled issues." She walks us through all the do’s and don’ts of discussing money issues with your partner.
