In this episode of Your Financial Maven®, host Samantha Mittman-Besnoff, CPA, sits down with Jennifer Kornoely, founder of the She Reads, She Leads book club — a community for women entrepreneurs to build financial literacy and business skills through reading and discussion. Jen shares how losing a corporate job became the catalyst for launching her own real estate photography business and, eventually, a thriving monthly book club that connects women across the country. Together, they dive into common money myths holding women back, the power of learning in community, and key insights from books like Profit First and The E-Myth. If you're a woman in business looking for connection, accountability, and a smarter approach to money, this episode is for you.

Do you ever feel financially stuck and just want a simple and easy framework to get unstuck? Then you will enjoy my latest episode where I chat with Financial Strategist Carilyn Marrero. She went from living paycheck-to-paycheck to building lasting wealth after immigrating to the United States. After experiencing financial pressure, debt, and starting over from scratch, Carilyn became determined to understand how money truly works. She uses a simple framework that she came up with after spending time learning other money systems. She calls it the Método LIBRE™ framework.

You can find more about Carilyn here: http://www.cmfreedomfinance.com/.
