Plus she equips women with the financial knowledge and emotional awareness to overcome the blocks that have kept them from making more out of the money they have.  But what’s at stake is far bigger than money itself -- it’s about expanding every woman’s sense of who she is and what she deserves. “Why is it that women, who are so competent in all other areas of their lives, cannot find the same competence when it comes to matters of money?”  In what she calls the most important work of her life, Orman set out to answer that question.
