Today we’re talking about breaking money silence.

 

In our culture, there seems to be a stigma surrounding open conversations about money and financial matters. The truth is, we all could benefit from adjusting our mindset about money, but first, we have to actually be willing to talk about it.

Cheri Blair of Cheri Blair Financial Services joins me today as my co-host to discuss financial literacy and why it’s so important for women to up their game when it comes to knowledge about financial matters.

Wealth psychology expert, Kathleen Burns Kingsbury, also joins us to shine a light on money silence and how it impacts individuals, couples, and families. She shares tips, tools, and advice for gaining “money talk” confidence.

  • How we can all get wiser about how we deal with and think about money
  • 5 subconscious limiting money blocks we may not even realize are affecting us financially
  • What money silence is and how it impacts individuals, couples, and families
  • Different ways that money silence can hurt us and hold us back

About Cheri:

Cheri Blair has been serving and empowering women, business owners and their families with financial services for over 24 years.

Her journey in the business world began with managing real estate portfolios and quickly evolved into an asset management position.

From there, she became a commercial real estate broker facilitating property sales across Southern California.

Cheri joined MetLife Financial Services in 1994, where she soon realized she had a passion for helping women.

This passion drove her to create and present empowering informational seminars and workshops to educate, support and inspire “Women Financially”.

Cheri focuses on developing plans and options for women, their businesses, and families. Her background in psychology and her strong belief in emotional healing has enhanced her abilities to build strong client relationships.

Relationships are a priority for her, as she truly cares. Understanding what is important to her clients about their money and financial planning matters will always be her number one priority. 

Cheri knows firsthand why it is so important for women to not only understand their finances but also feel empowered and confident when making their own financial decisions. Through her own trials and tribulations, she learned that financial independence is of the utmost importance.

As Cheri entered into the life of a single mother, she vowed to always be in control of her own finances and made it her mission to help others do the same. She raised her son, Tovia alone until 2008 when she married Michael DePriest.

Tovia recently graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz with Magna Cum Laude honors. He is currently on a path to becoming a physician. Cheri and Michael could not be more proud of him!

In 2011, Cheri joined MJL & Associates, welcoming the opportunity to partner with the thriving, comprehensive financial services organization. Most recently she established her own business, Cheri Blair Financial Services, to provide a level of service that offers a more personal experience for her clients.

Cheri believes in taking a Holistic approach with her client’s and that building confidence through education is a major cornerstone to their success.

Throughout the years, her philosophy has remained the same. She believes client relationships must be steeped in trust. Maintaining a client-centered practice, her client’s needs come first.

Cheri supports, guides, and instructs her clients in making informed financial decisions for today and the future. As she always says “You must value your future comfort as much as you value your comfort today!”

 

“A lot of women still have the idea that it’s not feminine to be the one that’s knowledgeable about money and handling investments. That “that’s a man’s job” is just a mindset that our culture has created.”  –  Paula Shaw
