Where to reach them:
Quote
Many of my clients are female entrepreneurs who excel in running their businesses but struggle with managing their finances in business and at home. My aim is to help them achieve their goals in both areas, emphasising that business and personal finances shouldn’t be separate. We tackle both together.
Angela Duncan
You don’t think about what you were taught when you were younger and how it carries into adulthood until you really think about it and focus on it. Then you realise you have to work on changing that belief system, and it does take a lot of time. Understanding that this is where it started and this is where we want to be is important. It’s a process, and giving yourself the grace to get through that process is essential.

Short overview
Angela’s story is an inspiring tale of triumph over childhood abuse, leading to her success as an entrepreneur. The “Empower Her Money” concept emerged from a networking event with several women, where discussions about business challenges and the need for financial empowerment among women took centre stage.
Angela explores the characteristics of her audience and the types of people who seek her guidance. We examine women’s common financial errors, such as maintaining a scarcity mindset and leaving financial decisions to their husbands. Angela stresses the necessity of shifting these attitudes and asserts the importance of women, whether married or divorced, taking charge of their financial choices. She offers advice on daily practices like writing down objectives, doing breathing exercises, and fostering positivity to achieve goals more efficiently.
Addressing gender disparities in negotiation and finance, Angela notes that women often downplay their skills in job applications compared to men and advises women to avoid underpricing their services. She suggests doubling their desired rate to allow room for negotiation, pointing out that undervaluing themselves delays financial success. Angela emphasises the need for women to support each other, noting that while they excel in helping others, they often struggle to seek help or seize opportunities. She advises that men should be aware of these differences and might need to extend invitations more than once or actively encourage women to enhance female engagement.
