She Reads, She Leads: How One Book a Month Can Transform Your Business, Confidence, and Financial Future with Jen Kornoely

What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn’t another course… but one powerful book and a room full of women willing to talk about it? In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Kornoely, founder of She Reads, She Leads, to explore how one book a month is helping women build financial confidence, sharpen business skills, and create real momentum. We talk about money mindset, connection, implementation, and why reading alone isn’t enough. If you’ve ever thought, “I should know more about this by now,” this conversation might be exactly the nudge you need.

About Jen Kornoely

When Jen Kornoely left corporate and started her own business in 2015, she didn’t know what she didn’t know. She was a skilled photographer, but finances, marketing, confidence, and business growth? Not so much.

After years of slowly building her business through personal development books and masterminds, Jen realized there had to be a faster and more accessible way to gain the skills and confidence women entrepreneurs need. She created She Reads, She Leads—a membership-based book club where women learn business and personal development skills together, implement what they learn, and build meaningful connections along the way.
