Stroke It Guide Podcast

Women, Wealth, and the Will to Give with Nancy Griffin

Jenny Alday Townsend

In this energizing episode of The Stroke It Podcast, host Jenny Townsend sits down with Nancy Griffin—connector, influencer, and champion for women’s health, wealth, and legacy. Together, they explore how courage, generosity, and clear communication fuel a life you’re proud to live. From leaving corporate for entrepreneurship to stewarding wealth with wisdom, Nancy shares practical ways women can protect their #1 asset (themselves), build confidence with trusted advisors, and give back through philanthropy and service.

Jenny and Nancy dig into the conversations couples should have about money, why joint vs. separate accounts depends on trust and goals, and how thoughtful insurance and benefits planning reduces stress when life throws curveballs. You’ll hear how a personal financial statement, reviewed every six months, can anchor decisions—and why an “attitude of generosity” transforms families, teams, and communities.

With stories that span boardrooms, Rotary service, and real-life moments of resilience, this episode is a masterclass in living with intention, leading with courage, and staying “vertical and smiling” through it all.
