i'm.

Power point I don't need. Twenty .

four work, everybody, this is the women in money podcast, and everybody smart enough to listen. And sue o, here and today is a suzy story. And today's story is actually about me, about me and why i've done some of the things that I have done in my life, as well as, therefore, how would affect all of you.

IT all started back around nineteen ninety nine, somewhere in there where I met a woman by the name of eve enzler. And eve enzler had produced a play called the vagina monologues, which was one of the most brilliant plays out there. And if you hadn't seen IT, IT was really something.

IT was really a teaching vehicle of how women feel about who they are and owning the power of their body in every type of situation. And over the time that passed, even I started to become friends, and we ended up going to washington, D. C.

Will we addressed, I think IT was congressman, maybe a few senators, i'm not exactly sure, but we addressed and talked about domestic abuse, and I wanted everybody to understand. Then, in my opinion, I really believe that women stayed in an abusive relationship because they didn't have the money to leave. They just didn't have the ability to get out.

Now that was my understanding at the time. Obviously, since then, over twenty some ideas, it's become more expensive than that. But that kind of where I started.

And so I was thinking about that and working with IT in my own way. And then in the year two thousand and six, a woman by the name of toronto, burke, started what was called the me to movement. And he started IT to raise really awareness about sexual abuse.

And given my opinion that sexual abuse, physical abuse, psychological abuse all starts with financial abuse, which i've talked to all of you about before, IT really attracted my attention. And I was like, susie, you got ta do something about this. And that's when I decided in the year two thousand and seven to write a book called women and money, owning the power to control your destiny.

Now, what was so interesting about me writing the book called women and money was that prior to that, I always said to everybody, i'm not just gonna write a book just for women. Money has no race, no sexual preference is for everybody. It's just as important to teach men about money as IT is to teach women about money.

So i'm not just going to focus on women. And as I thought more about what toro onto was doing and the me too movement, I said, you know, susie, you're not thinking about this correctly. Women are very, very different than men.

Women have the ability to give birth in most cases. Women have the ability to feed that which they have given birth. Two in most cases.

So IT is a woman's nature turn nurture. And it's not exactly true for men. So women will do anything to protect their children. And as time was going on, and I was working with these ideas in my head, I was thinking about all the people that I had given financial advice to.

And what was so fascinating to me is that women always took care of the household money, and they left the man in the house. If there was a man in the house, take care of everything else. And I can't quite figure out why was that what was going on here.

Women were working everything, but yet they still really took care of the house hold expenses. And that's when I realized that women to care of the household expenses because the house held everything that they loved, namely their children. And so I started to think about this.

And the more I thought about that, I realized, oh yeah, I need to write a book just for women, for women to pick up. Because I needed to make sure that women didn't put themselves on sale. They knew how to own the power to control their destiny. They knew how to say their name. And what I mean by that is I had been doing a lot of speaking in those days.

And what was fascinating is that as I would go to all of these events and the moderator would stand up and thank all the women who volunteered, who may be worked twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, to put on this event, and they would call up their names so that they could stand up. The women just noted they didn't want to stand up, they didn't wanna take pride, they didn't even want to say their names out loud. So a good chapter in that book was all about, say your name, be proud of who you are.

And I decided that I should write a book called women and money. But what was fascinating, as I told with that book, everywhere I went, and IT was a number one new york times best sellers. So I went everywhere with that book, I would stand up and men would come.

And as the men were there, I would say, I know you think that this book may be just for women, but if you take this book and hold your hand, and I would do this over the W O of the word woman on the front of the book, I would say, you see, man, this book is for you as well. Because if you are in a relationship with a woman, IT is very, very, very important that you understand how a woman things feels and act, which is very, very different about how you think, feel and act. So the two of you have to come together as one.

You have to understand everything that he is up against, that you're not. You have to understand what he has to go through to make as much money as you. You have to understand men, the difference in being a woman and a man.

And when you can understand things from a woman's perspective and feel what he has to go through, then you could have a successful personal relationship. Because unless you understand that you're never gonna a be one with your money and is all of, you know, if you're not one with your money, you're not one with who you are. And if you're not one with who you are, there is no way your relationship with yourself could ever work out, let alone your relationship with somebody else.

So IT was very important at that time, and still is to this day that a man understood what women go through, and women were open to letting men know what they go through. So there I was, two thousand and seven, empower in both men, women who ever to understand their own power, especially when I came to who they are and what they had. Then, as time went on, and maybe you can remember, this things started to gain in popularity.

The meet to movement actually became very popular in two thousand and seventeen, when all these people, strong people, business women, had been abused by their boss, or somebody wanting to give them a job, or whatever IT was. And again, I was saying to myself, i've GTA go on, and i've got to start speaking about this again. Women need a voice.

They need to be heard. Because if you don't have a voice, everybody, if you can say what you're thinking, if you can't do what you're feeling, if you can't take the action that you know you wanna take so that you can save yourself on every single level, then there's no way that you can own the power to control your destiny. So that's when I started to go around and talk about IT, really, which is women.

You need a voice. You have got to stand in your truth. And I was out there talking about IT, and really one in women in particular, to understand this point.

And here we are now, in two thousand and twenty four, on november third, two days away from the last time you can cast a vote in this year's election. And here we find ourselves, everybody. And this includes the man listening.

This isn't just a woman thing, is an everybody thing. And that's because what happens to the women in your life affects everybody's life, not just the woman's life. And here we are, once again, where women need to have a voice.

They need to speak up and get back control over their destinies, their bodies, their ability to be free and make decisions for themselves, whatever IT may be. And so this story, this story still goes on, the story that started so many years ago when women got the vote, when women got all kinds of things, the right to have an abortion. And now that right is taken away and health benefits are taken away, and so many things have been taken from us.

And the only way to get that back, everybody, is to use your voice. And I don't know, a more powerful way for all of you, every single one of you, to use your voice more than making sure than on november fifth or before that, if you can, to go in to that voting booth and vote. And I did, I use my voice, and I voted for coming Harris. And I really believe that if he wins and is the next president of the united states of america, we all will be unstoppable.

the. I don't need Better. I'm so confident.
