101. Tracey Sofra / FINDING FINANCIAL FREEDOM

Making investments in ourselves and our businesses takes confidence. A confidence not taught in the education system but instead typically left to our parents and mentors to pass on. These lessons aren't always empowering as beliefs around finance and success differ through life experience. So where do we turn to to develop these skills and the confidence to make the right decisions with our money?

Tracey Sofra's upbringing didn't teach her how to build financial confidence, instead she learned it for herself and from doing so has developed a 7 step methodology to empower women to make finances a strength. In this episode we learn how Tracey became financially confident.

On The Dent Podcast, we interview key people of influence in all walks of life. We delve deep to unearth how these successful people got to where they are, their trials and tribulations, as well as their successes, and what their experiences can teach us all.

Tracey Sofra is Australia's leading Financial Advisor specialising in women's financial confidence. For over 3 decades she has worked with thousands of women across Australia to grow their wealth successfully and sustainably.

Tracey is the founder and CEO of WOW Women, the author of 'Finding Financial Freedom', a keynote speaker and the creator of the EMPOWER methodology.
