I had difficulty completing this book. Admittingly some good points. But the book was not my cup of tea.

I just finished Make Money Your Thing by Kalee Boisvert which I read thanks to #NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is purportedly a book about finances, but the author teaches us very little in that area. I learned a lot about her daughter, her clients & a lot about her own fears & successes, but almost nothing about financial money strategies.

I do not recommend this book.

This book has relatable premise: financial empowerment for women. Through practical and inspiring steps, the author guides readers on a journey from financial avoidance to confidence. With relatable client stories and actionable tips, this book makes managing money accessible and empowering for women of all ages.

I think many people my age are struggling with their finances, not only because the global economy is a disaster, but also because we were never taught financial literacy by our parents. That, at least, is true for me. This is why I reach for information on this subject through social media profiles, YouTube channels, and, yes, books. I thought Make Money Your Thing would help me take steps to be more financially stable, or at least more confident with what I make versus what I spend. I didn't expect it to make me rich by the time I was done reading it, but I also didn't expect it to be pretty much a pitch for an MLM. The moment the expression "financial freedom" was thrown in, and even after I'd let slide a couple of sexist comments, I knew this book wasn't for me.

I wasn't expecting to like this, to be honest, I was expecting more of the same. But once I dove in I was pleasantly surprised and actually learned quite a bit.

Ms. Boisvert knows her stuff. She uses her own experiences as examples to show how she managed to create her own wealth.

The book is divided into four parts that are comprehensive and educational. She covers everything from how people think about money to budgeting, managing and taking responsibility for your own money.

I found her easy to read, easy to comprehend and actually put some of her advice to work for myself.

As someone who is financially stable, I still thought this was insightful and helpful. I plan to give it to my friends as I think there is something in here for anyone - whether they are just starting off in life or further along in their financial journey.

Highly recommend this. I look forward to whatever else Ms. Boisvert writes.

Hey there, folks! If you've been looking for some financial wisdom wrapped in a warm hug, look no further than Financial Bliss by Kalee Boisvert. This book is like having a best friend who's also a money guru, sharing her own experiences and showing you how to boost your wealth and confidence at the same time.

In this gem ,Kalee breaks things down into four easy-to-digest parts. She kicks it off by talking about her own upbringing in a single-mom household, dealing with money ups and downs. It's relatable and real, just like chatting with your BFF over coffee.

Part one is all about understanding your money mindset. Kalee hands out therapy-like worksheets to help you dig into those money preconceptions you've had since you were a kid. It's like having a money heart-to-heart with yourself.

Then, she moves on to building that money confidence through budgeting and kicking excuses to the curb. No more hiding from your finances; it's time to take charge like a boss!

But wait, there's more! Kalee reminds us that it's OUR money, and we should be the ones loving and caring for it the most. This ain't no fairytale; it's all about being money-savvy and owning it.

Throughout the book, she spills the beans with examples from her life and the women she's helped as a financial guru. It's like having a friend share her successes and struggles to inspire you.

And you know what? She even drops some wisdom from self-help legends like Brené Brown and Wayne W. Dyer. This book's got that affirmational vibe, but it's not just fluff—there's solid monetary advice and some personal nuggets that hit home.

The best part? The author's got this fantastic voice that feels like chatting with your closest friend. She doesn't preach or judge; she's just there to offer up some gold-star guidance.

You might be thinking, "Can't I just follow generic money advice?" Sure, you could, but Financial Bliss is all about women empowerment. The author's mission is to support and boost our confidence around money, so we can take charge of our financial lives like total bosses—and boy, does she nail it!

Make Money Your Thing by Kalee Boisvert is a book that I needed to read. As a single woman, I often find myself intimidated by 'money talk', particularly when it comes to investing. What I learned, and my biggest takeaway here, is that I need to advocate for myself, not only in matters of finance, but in all areas of my life.

This is an empowering, easy to understand guide that I would recommend to any woman, regardless of where she finds herself on her financial journey.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Kalee Boisvert for an ARC of this title.

I thought this book was wonderful to help women understand finances and money. It also addresses the feelings that may have evolved around money due to personal experiences which I appreciated. I recently started to take control of my own finances after allowing my husband to have all the control for over 12 years.

Thank you so much to #Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced reader's copy for an honest review.

I usually acquire women's fiction titles but I am new to Netgalley and starting to build my repitoire. I couldn't help but be interested in this title. I think it is very important for women to have financial information and resources at their fingertips. This is a great time to do so. It has great information and is broken down in easy to understand intervals for taking control of your finances.
