My Talk at the PA Conference for Women: Recap, Motivation + Photos! 🎤📸✨


Hello Reader,

What an incredible experience!

Last week I had the absolute honor of speaking at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women in Philadelphia, one of the largest and most inspiring gatherings of women professionals in the country! ❤️

✨ I'm so excited to share some photos from the event below including behind-the-scenes moments, and snapshots from my session!

In my talk, I spoke about a topic that’s close to my heart and incredibly timely: “Building Financial Strength and Resilience in a Shifting World.”

We explored:

✅ How to navigate financial uncertainty with confidence and clarity

✅ How to pursue financial goals with intention

✅ Why now is the right time to work on building lasting wealth

✅ Giving ourselves grace as we navigate different seasons of life

Whether you're living paycheck to paycheck, bouncing back from a setback, or looking to build momentum: You can create lasting financial freedom, even in uncertain times.

Here’s a reminder I shared on stage that I want to pass on to you, too:
You don’t have to be perfect with your money, you just need to be consistent and intentional.


Every small action adds up. Progress is still progress, even if it’s not perfect. The key is to keep going, and believe that your financial goals are
absolutely possible.

A huge thank you to the Conferences for Women team for the invitation to speak and for putting on such a meaningful, empowering event.

With gratitude,
Bola ❤️
