About our Guest:

Dr. Barbara Provost created Purse Strings so all women could live a life free from financial stress and full of choices. As a consultant in the financial industry for over 20+ years, it was apparent that the needs of the female market were not being addressed. When she went through her divorce and navigated it in a women-led divorce group, she heard these intelligent, bright, talented women voice so many financial concerns. And in her everyday life, she could see women of retirement age working at the stores as she’d run her errands. 

As a doctor in adult learning and higher education, Dr. Barbara Provost helped bring the power of the female market to other countries like Nigeria, India, Cameroon, and Vietnam.
