In the latest Fearless Female Leadership interview, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bridget Grimes, CFP, President and Founder of WealthChoice, about the critical importance of financial awareness—especially for women who are the primary or significant breadwinners. With a personal journey that spans Wall Street, single motherhood, and pastry school, Bridget’s mission is rooted in lived experience: to help women who are accomplished professionals but financially overwhelmed reclaim control and confidence in their financial futures.
Bridget founded WealthChoice nearly a decade ago to serve women like herself—high-achieving, time-strapped professionals who often neglect their own financial wellbeing. Her wake-up call came during a divorce when she discovered six figures in credit card debt she hadn’t been aware of. That moment sparked a powerful mindset shift: from financial avoidance to intentional engagement. She now empowers women to do the same—starting with awareness and moving toward action.
Throughout our conversation, Bridget shared that high-income earners often don’t know where their money goes, which puts their long-term goals, families, and futures at risk. Whether it’s supporting aging parents, launching adult children, or investing in themselves, breadwinner women face unique financial demands that require strategic, proactive planning.
Key takeaways from the interview:
If you’re interested in being featured on the Fearless Female Leadership podcast, or you’re a leader looking to gain clarity on ‘what’s next’, how to build more cohesive and high-performing teams, and lead with greater confidence and influence, let’s have a confidential conversation.
Cheering you on always!
