Fly!: A Woman’s Guide to Financial Freedom and Building a Life You Love

Whether you’re in your sixties or twenties--single, married, rebuilding after a devastating loss, or simply wanting to feel more prepared for the unexpected--this book is for every woman ready to take control over her financial life.

Steph Wagner, National Director of Women and Wealth at Northern Trust, offers an empowering, tools-based approach to help you achieve financial freedom and thrive for years to come.

Steph Wagner appeared to have it all--a beautiful family and a picture-perfect life--until her husband of nearly 20 years left their family for another woman.

A stay-at-home mom, Steph found herself facing financial devastation and some heavy emotional baggage. Her enviable life concealed the secrets of a harrowing childhood fraught with domestic abuse, and her divorce reopened old wounds.

In the years since, Steph has built a thrilling new life and a powerhouse career as a nationally recognized authority on women’s economic security. A model of resiliency and resourcefulness, her riveting personal story and hard-earned financial expertise have helped women across the country reclaim their financial futures.

Her debut book, Fly! offers invaluable insights to help you:

• Uncover the roots of your relationship with money
• Evaluate your current financial landscape and learn how to make confident decisions around your wealth
• Set transformative goals and craft a comprehensive plan to turn your vision into reality
• Cultivate an empowering, supportive network
• Discover how financial independence can enhance your relationships and unlock exciting new opportunities

Fly! is a call to action. And this journey isn’t just about money; it’s also about seizing new opportunities, pursuing your dreams, and living life on your own terms.
