She Handled It Retirement: An Inspiring and Empowering Financial Guide for Women Over Forty

When there’s a crisis at home, she handles it. When a parent, child, or spouse is ill and needs more care, she gives up her time and resources—and handles it—often to her own detriment. Women are the caretakers who focus on doing the things that most deeply matter, meaning that financial education often takes a back seat. Even more, many within the financial industry make it complicated, boring, or completely inaccessible.

For women, the topic of money is often tied up in heavy emotions. Many feel shame and guilt with their finances—not because they have done anything wrong, but because they’re unprepared. Retirement should be organized long before she hits sixty, but all the unknown pressures make it seem overwhelming. This book provides a sweet remedy to the insecurity weighing her down, bringing an exciting, fresh, story-heavy (and data-light) financial guide. For a woman who wants to feel empowered but doesn’t want to be overwhelmed, this is the perfect place to encourage both her mind and soul.

National speaker, She Handled It!® podcast host, and coach to elite financial advisors, Arwen Becker shares money lessons learned through working with thousands of women through their own struggles to attain retirement success. Arwen also unpacks her own tumultuous money journey with humor, raw honesty, and fascinating personal accounts. This unique book, and the brave women’s stories within, will help inspire you to believe that it’s not too late, even after a rough start or many missteps. No matter where you are in life, this book will transform your view of money, provide you with both direction and basic tools, and ultimately inspire you to believe that you can handle it!
