About This Event
A recession taking place soon has been the talk of the town in the media. Our economic history suggests we are long overdue for a recession, however, no one truly knows the answers to what this next recession might look like. What is important for you to know is HOW to prepare for a recession, should one happen: whether that be creating a "bunker" for your savings, debt slaying, networking/polishing up that resume in case of job loss, or knowing what to do with your investments!
Anyone is welcome to join this event, The Financial Gym clients or not! Bring a friend and let's recession-proof your finances together! $$
Joining us for this fireside chat will be Sophie McNaught - Founder of The Shed, Tanya Menendez - Co-Founder and CEO of Snowball Wealth, and Danetha Doe the creator of Money & Mimosas, with Stella Gold - Financial Trainer at The Financial Gym moderating.
About the Presenters
Stella GoldCertified Financial Trainer,
Financial Gym
Stella Gold is a money maker and loves making magic happen when it comes to your finances. Miss Gold has a variety of experiences (personal and professional) in the financial realm. Three years ago she found herself drowning in money anxiety and debt after her father unexpectedly passed. She decided to turn her grief into gold. She started her own business designing backpacks which she successfully sold out on Kickstarter. She also works with Ladies Get Paid, a platform and community for professional women to help them advance in their careers. Through these experiences she learned the ropes of personal finance and finally felt empowered by money, NOT paralyzed. As a Financial Level II Trainer, Stella cannot wait to guide you through your own financial journey and reach the financial empowerment she herself worked for. She believes you deserve it.

Danetha DoeFounder,
Money & Mimosas
Danetha Doe, a former NFL cheerleader turned entrepreneur and financial journalist, knew early on that her career path was not going to fit in a pretty little box. Fiercely committed to designing a rich and fulfilling life on her terms, Danetha has built a career that includes all the hyphens: professional dancer, blogger, model, actress, journalist, financial expert, TV host, and the list goes on.
Danetha Doe is the creator of Money & Mimosas, a blog, and a community for the ambitious woman. With a heavy emphasis on financial education, Money & Mimosas is read by thousands of women from Dubai to San Francisco who want to become rich and look good while doing it. The inspiration for the blog came to Danetha after a conversation about money with girlfriends over a bottomless mimosa brunch. A few years and several mimosas later, Danetha has been named a personal finance expert by Fast Company and is the star of the new TV series, Going From Broke, produced by Ashton Kutcher where she helps millennials get on the path to financial freedom. Danetha's hope is that Money & Mimosas is a guiding light to anyone brave enough to kick society's expectations to the curb and commit to becoming rich on their terms.
