I just started Girls That Invest, and as a woman in my 40s finally giving myself permission to step into financial independence, this book feels like someone turned on the lights in a room I didn’t even realize I had locked myself out of.
Simran Kaur writes in a way that’s warm, accessible, and most importantly; empowering. There’s no intimidation, no jargon meant to make you feel small. Instead, it feels like sitting with a big sister who has already made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and now wants you to skip the shame and get straight to the confidence.
As a therapist, what I love most is how this book helps you gently unlearn the stories you may have carried your whole life:
That money is complicated.
That investing is “for men.”
That you’re too late, too busy, too behind.
The truth is: you’re not behind. You’re right on time.
For any woman, especially the girls and young women coming after us, my advice is simple:
Start before you feel ready. Curiosity is enough. Small steps are enough. What matters most is that you take ownership of your future instead of outsourcing it. Your financial wellbeing is emotional wellbeing. It’s freedom. It’s choice. It’s safety. It’s self-trust.
And if you’ve lived most of your life feeling intimidated by money… this book is a gentle, smart, and inspiring place to begin.
You deserve to build a life where you feel secure and powerful. And investing. Slow, steady, informed investing, is one of the most loving things you can do for your future self 🫶🏼
