“We are all worthy of wealth, we are worthy of abundance, that includes you, that includes me, that includes everyone,” says Vanessa Bowen, Founder of Mint Worthy in the ninth episode of A Wealth of Women’s Stories. Bowen is not your average money coach, and Mint Worthy is not just another personal finance coaching platform. She says there is more to money than just the numbers.
“I really wanted to create lasting financial change for my clients,” says Bowen. “I didn't want to just put a Band-Aid on it and say, ‘Here's your budget, here's your savings and investment plan, go run with it’. I wanted to make sure we got to the root of what created the financial life that they're living in today.”
As a Chartered Professional Accountant, Vanessa spent almost a decade in the accounting industry helping corporations in North America make sense of their numbers. She made the leap from corporate number crunching to personal finance for two reasons: One - she wasn’t built for a career of cubicles and calculators and, two - she knows first-hand how financial independence can change a woman’s life. She joins host Manjit Minhas to share her energetic and relatable approach to financial literacy and inspire women to live life on their own financial terms. Bowen has been featured as a money expert on CBC, Global news, Breakfast Television and the Toronto Star.
