What does a financial advisor really do - and how is that different from a financial planner or money coach?
In this episode of Dividends & Denim, Catherine Dennison is joined by Troy Hale, an experienced financial advisor, to break down financial planning in a clear, supportive, and empowering way - especially for women building confidence with money.
Together, they explore:
• How a financial advisor creates a personalized roadmap for your money
• The key differences between financial advisors, planners, and coaches
• What your first meeting should feel like (comfort, trust, and zero shame)
• Why understanding your full financial picture matters—income, expenses, assets, and debt
• How investment strategies and budgeting must be tailored to individual financial goals
• Red flags to watch for, including high-pressure sales tactics
• Why estate planning is often avoided - and why it’s so important
• Smart end-of-year money management considerations
• The importance of teaching financial literacy and confidence to the next generation
This conversation is perfect for women who want to improve their financial literacy, feel more confident making financial decisions, and build wealth through informed, values-aligned personal finance strategies.
