Alex Roca, a CFP at Fidelity and host of Women Talk Money, joins Chris Mitchell to demystify investing for real life. She shares her unconventional path into finance, why certifications can “legitimize” your confidence, and how authentic networking leads to advocates who open doors. She then shares a simple way to get started with investing and building a financial plan: decide your next move, stay balanced, pick tools that fit your goals, and protect what you’re building without getting overwhelmed. The message is simple and motivating: it’s never too early—or too late—to start.
