OUR MISSION
Fighting patriarchy is something that we're fond of. We just can't let it slide. Why? Because its 2021 and the state of women's rights around the world makes me feel like I'm living in some old historic movie. That sucks.
As much as we'd all like it to be false, money is power in our world. Money is a critical piece of the equation when you're fighting for equality. Until there is financial equality, there cannot be true equality.
We started Wholesome Goals to fight this financial inequality. I'm here to uncomplicate scary financial concepts and provide actionable information to help you take the reins and win with money!
We're proud of our community of thousands of women who are learning to invest, pay off debt, negotiate like a boss and grow their wealth!
THE TEAM
Hi, I'm Meg!
Few years ago, I was living paycheck-to-paycheck with $38,000 in debt and zero savings. But I couldn't deal with the nagging stress of being broke, so I took charge of my money and grew my net worth to $100,000 in just 2 years!
Along the way, I saw and felt financial inequality all around me. Women invest less, earn less and negotiate less than their peers. Did you know that women need to work an extra 15 years to retire with the same amount as men?

Care for some WTF facts?
- About 70% of millennial women have experienced some form of financial abuse.
- Women lose between $500,000 to more than a $1 million over their careers due to the gender wage gap.
- Thanks to the wage gap, women also invest less and have 30% less in retirement savings.
- And here's the real kicker - there is a debt gap as well! Women owe two-thirds of the student loan debt, in part because they need an additional degree to close the wage gap!
But most of this is not common knowledge. It's rarely acknowledged or addressed. The key to solving these problems lies in financial literacy.
Learning how to negotiate, learning how to save, invest and plan for retirement is the best way for women to level the playing field. Nobody should need to rely on their partners for handling their finances. Be an equal participant in all financial decisions.
