About the Financial
Menopause™ Checkup

The Financial Menopause™ Checkup is a free, private diagnostic tool designed specifically for women who are ready to stop worrying about money - and start doing something about it.

In just a few minutes, the Checkup identifies where you are in your unique financial journey - your "Financial Menopause™ Stage" - and uncovers the specific symptoms that may be holding you back, from Budgetary Hot Flashes and Financial Night Sweats to Monetary Mood Swings. You'll walk away with a personalized profile, curated resources, and a clear next step - without judgment, jargon, or overwhelm.

This tool was built for women who are smart, professional, and in charge - but who know deep down that their financial picture could use some honest attention. Whether you're feeling stretched too thin, unsure about your retirement, or simply tired of not knowing where your money goes, this Checkup meets you where you are.


Dr. Patricia Ross, founder of Girl Power Finance

Built by Girl Power Finance

Girl Power Finance was founded by Dr. Patricia Ross - author, publisher, and passionate financial advocate for women. Dr. Ross holds a Ph.D. in English from New York University and is the owner of Hugo House Publishers, recognized by Publishers Weekly as one of the top twenty independent publishers in 2022. She has written and edited over two hundred books, published more than eighty, and ghost-written over a dozen on retirement planning and sound money management.

When Dr. Ross discovered how money truly works - and how few resources were built with women's real lives in mind - she made it her mission to change that. Girl Power Finance was born from that conviction: that women deserve knowledge they can actually use, strategies that fit their lives, and the confidence that comes from being truly financially secure.

"Why keep all this great stuff to myself?" is her motto. "Knowledge that you can use - that's what makes you powerful."

The Financial Menopause™ Checkup is the digital front door to everything Girl Power Finance offers: education, workshops, one-on-one strategy sessions, and a community of women who are done leaving their financial future to chance.
