With this "Women Empowering Women" series, we want to teach women that they can be financially powerful thanks to the stock market. In this episode of the 5 Year Millionaire Podcast, we sit down with Lilly, a member of Power Trades University. She shares her transformative story, ultimately to realize that while she was spending all of her time and effort supporting others, she never put the time in for herself. That wasn't until recently when she decided to do something about it and believe in herself. Lilly shares her compelling story about overcoming skepticism, personal loss, and gender barriers to achieve independence and financial success through trading.

Back when Lilly started trading, she figured out that doing well in the stock market wasn't just about knowing numbers. Becoming financially powerful is also about getting the hang of the mental side of trading. Lilly mentioned how she saw the importance of being disciplined and planning ahead, things she didn't always need in her old jobs. Doing great in trading isn't just about being good with money or numbers. It's all about having the right attitude and sticking to your plan.

Lilly's journey isn't just about making money; it's about finding redemption and taking charge of her life. From dealing with false accusations to a sudden career change, Lilly shows real persistence as she uses the stock market to totally turn her life around. Her experience highlights that trading isn't just about making money; it's also about feeling in control of your future.

Trading changed her mindset. It's not just about reading stock charts; it's about understanding yourself too. Lilly jumping into a whole new field and trusting her own choices is a big win that goes beyond money. Her story shows that trading can boost your self-confidence and help you grow personally, not just financially. It's a great reminder that many people turn to trading for more than just making money.

My conversation with Lilly ended with one final message to women. Lilly emphasized the importance of having a side gig and not allowing skepticism to steer them away from their goals. She reinforced the idea that women can be financially powerful and capable. Her message was clear: women should strive to be self-sufficient and confident in their abilities to achieve their dreams, regardless of the field. She doesn't take "no" as an answer. She just gets up and does it, because she can.
