Financial educator and entrepreneur Nettie Reeves has launched the Pretty Broke Movement, a national financial empowerment initiative with a mission to help one million women transition from financial uncertainty to financial confidence. The movement, inspired by Reeves’ chapter “Pretty Broke: The Price Women Pay To Fit In” in the Amazon #1 best-selling book Financial Trendsetters 4, addresses what she describes as a hidden financial crisis facing women.
According to Reeves, many women inherited financial barriers they did not create. For generations, women were encouraged to invest in their appearance, care for others, and carry numerous responsibilities, while often receiving little education about building wealth, protecting their future, or creating a lasting legacy. The Pretty Broke Movement aims to shift this narrative by helping women recognize that they deserve to invest in their financial future with the same confidence they invest in other aspects of their lives.
“Pretty Broke isn’t about criticizing women or how they choose to spend their money,” said Reeves. “It’s about helping women realize they deserve to invest in their financial future with the same confidence they invest in every other part of their lives. You may not have written the first chapters of your financial story, but you have the power to write what comes next.”
Reeves has a background in health, wellness, and personal growth, with national recognition including the Steve Harvey Community Award and recognition during the Obama Administration for her leadership in health and wellness. As Chief Executive Officer of In Shape Financial Solutions, she advocates that being financially in shape is as important as being physically in shape. The Pretty Broke Movement encourages women to invest in both their appearance and their financial future, rather than choosing one over the other.
To mark the launch, Reeves will host an exclusive, invitation-only Pretty Broke Experience on Saturday, August 22, at 2:00 p.m. Women, community leaders, business professionals, and advocates for financial empowerment who wish to attend can contact In Shape Financial Solutions to request an invitation.
The implications of this movement are significant. Financial confidence is a critical factor in women’s long-term economic security, and initiatives that address the gender gap in financial literacy can have lasting impacts on families and communities. By focusing on conversation and community engagement, the Pretty Broke Movement aims to change the way women think about money and empower them to take control of their financial futures.
In Shape Financial Solutions, the firm behind the movement, offers expertise in Retirement Planning, Life Insurance, Medicare, Long-Term Care Planning, Disability Insurance, and Financial Coaching. Through educational workshops and one-on-one planning, the firm helps individuals and families build, protect, and preserve lasting financial confidence.
