EP 10: Living Your Best Life Now with Nicole Middendorf

In traditionally male-dominated fields like finance, tech, and medicine, women sometimes feel the need to obscure what’s perceived as “feminine”, for fear of it holding us back. 

In this episode, you’ll meet one of the most inspiring women in finance who blows this belief out of the water, and is thriving in the world of finance. Nicole Middendorf is an amazing mother, author, public speaker, TV & radio personality, Wealth Advisor, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst and founder at Prosperwell Financial.

We discuss how she pivoted from selling Mary Kay products to becoming a financial advisor, why her infant was a regular at client meetings, her experience with domestic violence and divorce, why she started a Live It List, and why women are actually perfect as wealth advisors.

Join me as I embark on an empowering and awe-inspiring talk with Nicole and learn all about her journey.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why women have traits that are great as financial advisors

  • The value of leaving a legacy and giving back
  • The importance of knowing that money is simply a tool

  • Creating a blend with family and career
