Peggy Richardson! is the author of Grow Some Lady Balls!, a bold and unfiltered guide to helping women avoid costly financial mistakes in love and relationships.
Raised in a traditional two-parent household with three siblings, Peggy grew up believing that love, responsibility, and integrity were universal values. She was taught to be giving, loyal, and supportive—and assumed others would be the same. Life taught her otherwise.
Over the years, Peggy built a diverse career working in law offices, automobile manufacturing, and even children’s entertainment as a clown. But her most powerful lessons didn’t come from her professional life—they came from personal experience.
After decades of trusting the wrong people, overlooking red flags, and paying the financial price for it, Peggy realized that no one had ever taught her—or other women—how to protect themselves financially in relationships.
Now, she is on a mission to change that.
Through her writing and speaking, Peggy shares the hard-earned lessons she wishes she had learned years ago. Her message is honest, direct, and deeply relatable: love should never cost you your financial future.
She encourages every parent to share this knowledge with their daughters, every friend to speak up when they see warning signs, and every young woman to learn how to protect herself before it’s too late.
Because some lessons are simply too expensive to learn the hard way.
