From The Psychology of Finance for Women and Money with Andrea Carter · · EMPOWEREDwithElizabethNaumovski
“I did a case study of over 350 professional women and it always came down to three things: overwhelm, struggling to balance time (so they say 'I don't have the time' for finances), and feeling stuck with no support to get where they want to go.”
On , Andréa Carter, Senior EVice President & Chief Human Resources Officer at Global Payments Inc, spoke about research during The Psychology of Finance for Women and Money with Andrea Carter on EMPOWEREDwithElizabethNaumovski.
In a 2018 podcast appearance, Andréa Carter discussed the psychology of women and money. She stated that women often operate on autopilot and rarely make time to think about their finances, describing a "mental juggle" that she said prevents many women from "money empowerment." Carter distinguished between a "fixed mindset" and a "prolific mindset," arguing that shifting to the latter helps women see money as empowering rather than a source of worry. Carter cited a case study of 350 professional women, which she said identified overwhelm, time constraints, and lack of support as common barriers. She recommended interrupting negative thoughts about money, using free resources from her website WealthyWomanWarrior.com, and taking one small weekly action toward savings. She also suggested shifting focus from debt to building an emergency fund, stating that "what you track you attract."
