This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.In the final episode of this special series, I interview Bean Gill and Nancy Morrow, co-founders of ReYu, a neuro-recovery center based in Edmonton, Alberta. ReYu helps kids and adults with neurological conditions retrain their nervous systems through expert rehab and one-on-one therapy. Inspired by Bean's personal journey after she was paralyzed, she not only discovered the benefits of activity-based therapy but also met her co-founder, Nancy, a kinesiology student at the time. Together, they realized the immense need for a centre like this to help others beyond traditional physiotherapy and have since helped nearly 500 people, with clients travelling from places as far as Switzerland to access their services. Bean and Nancy share their journey opening a new business, the challenge of dealing with the Canadian healthcare system, and their hopes to open more cen

This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.Is it possible to be sustainable and profitable as a business? Michelle Wong, founder of Bo, a software company focused on reusable containers, is on the podcast to share just how possible it is to run a green business. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, after a decade working a 9-to-5 in sales for an industrial cleaning solutions company, Michelle realized she wasn’t fulfilled in her career. That’s when she decided to start her entrepreneurial journey, which started with a tutoring franchise but pivoted into the reusable container space. Inspired by the increase in takeout due to the pandemic, she saw how big a need there was for a sustainable solution for food packaging. Since then, Bo has scaled from restaurants to festivals and cafeterias, reducing waste and a reliance on single-use plastic. Michelle shares how her social mission has always been at the f

This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.Most entrepreneurs walk an unexpected path, and Ashley Werhun, founder of Mentorly, is the perfect case study. Starting out her career as a professional ballerina who toured the world and performed hundreds of shows per year, when it was finally time to hang up her ballet flats, she took a very different direction by becoming a tech founder. Seeing that there was a big need for mentorship, well beyond just ballet, Ashley founded Mentorly, a B2B mentorship program and learning and development platform, to help companies invest in their people by using smart mentor matching and AI that seamlessly integrates into existing HR tools. With her diverse background, Ashley not only shares how she was able to make such a big career change, but also advice she’d give to people just starting out, such as building your audience before your product.For full episode show notes

With her personal struggle with acne significantly impacting her confidence, she felt guided to a path where she could empower women through skincare, advanced aesthetics, and education. Starting out as a small mobile spray tanning service, Ashley’s business evolved into a now award-winning facial spa. Although GLOW Beauty Bar is growing today, Ashley shares how it nearly came to a halt because of Covid, and how pivoting her business ultimately saved it.

This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.For this episode of the series, I’m speaking with Mallory Maynard, founder of Gibbly, a Canadian company dedicated to helping teachers fight burnout and reclaim their time so they can be more effective educators. Though not a teacher herself, Mallory’s first company, which built mobile games to inspire girls in STEM, gave her firsthand insight into the challenges teachers face every day. Due to the advent of generative AI, she saw a huge opportunity to streamline tasks by creating an AI-powered teaching assistant to help teachers create curriculum-aligned lesson plans, presentations, and quizzes in a fraction of the time. Although Gibbly has since grown to over 50,000 users, Mallory also shares the sometimes difficult realities of being an entrepreneur and shares advice to others looking to start their own company.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhou

I've got a special summer announcement! I know I mentioned I was going to take a longer-than-usual hiatus after 10 years of the podcast, but I got this great opportunity to do a special 6-part mini series focused on spotlighting Canadian women entrepreneurs that I couldn't pass up. So expect to see that air in August and September.In addition, if you live near Coquitlam and Vancouver, British Columbia, I'll be doing two book signings while I'm there over these next two weeks, and I hope to see you there:Saturday, July 19 - 10am to 1pm PT - Chapters CoquitlamSaturday, July 26 - 12pm to 3pm PT - Indigo Robson VancouverFollow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

10 years. If you told me back in 2015 that starting this podcast would change my life, I wouldn't have believed you. Back then, I was just looking for a different outlet other than blogging to continue learning and educating others about money. In no way could I have predicted that I'd end up interviewing hundreds of experts and authors from all over the world, leaving my 9-to-5 to start my own financial education business, and eventually releasing a bestselling book where I share some of the most vulnerable parts of my relationship with money I'd never told anyone before.What an absolutely amazing ride this has been. But it's not over yet. Although I'll be taking a break over the next few months to recharge and reflect on what I want the next 10 years of this podcast to look like, I'm not going anywhere. This podcast has given me so much, and I know it's given you so much too. We've been on this personal finance journey together after all, and there's so much more to explore. Thank you so much for all of you

For my final guest interview for Season 20 (don't worry, I've got one more solo episode airing tomorrow), I am so thrilled to have financial content creator and writer Katie Gatti Tassin on the More Money Podcast to talk about how to claim your financial power when it feels like everything is working against you. Because if you're a woman, the data doesn't lie. There are a lot of things making it harder to build wealth and achieve financial independence. There's the gender wage gap, unfair hiring processes and unconscious (or conscious) biases at every step of the corporate ladder, and financial advice that was developed for men by men.Katie has been very vocal about these topics on her Money with Katie podcast and newsletter, and she dives even deeper into them in her debut book Rich Girl Nation: Taking Charge of Our Financial Futures, which we explore in this episode. For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/434Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessica

How can we empower Gen Z and even Gen Alpha to take control of their financial futures? As my guest Rachel Rodgers explains in her new book, Future Millionaire: A Young Person’s Step-by-Step Guide to Making WEALTH Inevitable, we need to throw out the old rules and create new ones for this very different world they've just entered.Rachel, who also wrote the book We Should All Be Millionaires, shares that we need to be more open and transparent about the real economic struggles young people face today, how side hustles are becoming an essential addition to any job, and how having a positive mindset and practicing self-care to avoid burnout and foster personal growth is key for any financial plan to work.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/433Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libr

I've got an incredibly inspirational guest for this episode! Dasha Kennedy, founder of the Broke Black Girl and author of Moving Beyond Broke: The Power of Perseverance in Personal Finance, shares her story of growing up low-income, surviving divorce and becoming a single parent, and learning about managing money on her own. On her personal finance journey, she realized she could help other women, especially Black women, in similar circumstances, which led her to create a massive community online where she now teaches others how to build generational wealth, increase your income, and ultimately move beyond broke once and for all.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/432Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted

One of my favourite Canadian personal finance books to recommend is Larry Bates' Beat the Bank because it's exactly what every Canadian needs to know about how to advocate for yourself, not pay too much in fees, and navigate the complex and sometimes secretive world of finance. Considering Larry worked in finance for over 35 years, he knows what he's talking about and holds nothing back.This episode originally aired on January 22, 2020.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/223Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Leisa Peterson first came on the podcast in 2020 to talk about her first book The Mindful Millionaire, so I'm thrilled to welcome her back to talk about her new book The Money Catalyst where we deep-dive into the topics of scarcity, abundance, nurturing your inner wealth and transforming your relationship with money. What's also very different about her new book is that it's written as a narrative instead of a more traditional how-to style. If you know me, you know I love personal finance books written like this (like The Latte Factor and The Wealth Barber), so if you're like me, you'll love this book too!For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/431Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Too often, we confuse money for happiness, while it's simply a tool that can help us increase our happiness (to a limit). To talk about how to get your happy back and how to use money strategically to help you get there, for this episode, we're re-listening to my interview with Melissa Leong, author of Happy Go Money and money expert on The Social.

It’s been an interesting year for investing so far, which is why I’ve invited Amber Kanwar, former anchor and reporter on BNNBloomberg and now host of the top investing podcast In the Money, to come on show to talk about what’s going on with the markets now and what tips she’s learned from her years of interviewing the best investors in the country.

It's not about the latte! Most people (and money experts) misunderstand the true meaning of the latte factor, so who better to ask what it really means than co-author of The Latte Factor John David Mann. In this re-listen episode, we discussed what it was like writing this narrative-style personal finance book with bestselling author David Bach (The Automatic Millionaire), and the core messages of the book such as spending within your value system, setting strong financial goals, and never giving up on yourself, especially when times are tough.This episode originally aired on March 27, 2019.To find the original show notes for this episode visit jessicamoorhouse.com/190Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

Knowing what we know now about money, I bet most of us would do things differently if we could go back in time. Although time machines don't exist, at least there's Shannon Lee Simmons' new book Making Bank: Money Skills for Real Life which was written specifically for teenagers so they can not only avoid repeating the same money mistakes we made, but they can learn all the skills they need to reach financial freedom during they most formative years. If you've got a teenager (or know someone who does), you're going to want to listen to this and then buy them a copy of this book!For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/429Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.
