YWCA Southern Arizona | 525 N Bonita Ave, Tucson, AZ
Join us for our next Women Who Money Meeting. It will be a powerful evening of financial empowerment, community wisdom, holistic support and friendship.
This month’s event will feature a dynamic panel of women-owned businesses and leaders who work every day to support our local small business community with bookkeeping, accounting, and tax preparation services. These women aren’t just number-crunchers; they are educators, guides, and partners in helping us feel more confident and prepared as we move through financial seasons in life and in business.
Our panelists will speak to:
Practical steps we can take now to prepare for next year’s taxes
How to build sustainable financial habits as women and entrepreneurs
When to ask for help, how to ask for help, and who to ask
Reframing financial stress into financial empowerment
This event is about owning what we don’t know, asking questions without hesitation, and building our financial power with clarity and community.
We’ll close the evening with a Movement & Breathing Power Session led by Marie Gonzalez, a small business owner and healing leader. This session will help us process what we’ve learned, reconnect with our bodies, and ground ourselves in intention. Because success starts within; and healing is part of the journey to financial wellness.
Agenda:
5:30 PM – 6:00 PM: Welcoming + Coffee, Tea & Snacks
6:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Panel Discussion ( Panelists will be introduced next week)
7:00 PM – 7:30 PM: Movement & Breathing with Marie Gonzalez
