Last week, I published a piece for Fast Company on — you guessed it — women and money:

“Money is making us sick. As women, individually. And as a society.

Women’s #1 source of stress is money. The pandemic has exacerbated this. Women lost their jobs at a disproportionate rate, were forced to leave the workforce at a disproportionate rate, lost productivity at a disproportionate rate, and lost out on promotions at a disproportionate rate.

It is probably no surprise, then, that a recent Ellevest Financial Wellness Survey found that nearly half of women — and 61% of millennial women — report that worry about money has caused them to be emotionally or mentally unwell. And 40% of women — and half of millennial women — say that worry about money has made them physically sick.

The importance of this is hard to overstate.

And yet, that doesn’t fully capture the breadth and severity of the issue.”
