"

I wrote Self-Made for women of color because I felt like, you know, I was looking at how we were all raised and at least, you know, sort of in the white woman world, the women's movement had happened and there was the beginning of a conversation about money.

if I had to do it all over again, I realized like the women's movement should have talked about money because without money, without personal financial freedom, you're not liberated and you're certainly not empowered.

So to me, I felt like the word entrepreneur, I talked to a lot of women. It felt like very kind of not far reaching for women, right? And I realized Self-Made had a different connotation, right?

It's not just an entrepreneurial connotation, but it's this idea that to make it to the end of your life, you're going to have to DIY yourself from the inside out over and over again.

Self-Made is your lifetime journey that includes, and at the top of that list is your finances, right? And your health.

Avis Cardella, the author and a recovering shopping addict, recounts her experience of shopping addiction in her book, "Memories of a shopping addict." She describes the highs and lows, the emotional and financial consequences, and her journey to recovery.

"

As I wrote in my book, I spent memories of a shopping addict.

In the book, I describe the first moment I knew something was wrong, which I call the "Cossabella incident."

I was shopping to escape from other things, from emotions. And that was for me a first indication of that my shopping wasn't normal.

When my mother died I think I looked to shopping as a comfort zone and as something to do to build a sense of myself because my sense of myself seemed to have been kind of demolished and just destroyed and I built this almost shell of Avis.

It was a shell. It was an empty part inside and that was like one of those Easter eggs that you crack open and there's nothing inside. It's like the chocolate egg that's hollow inside and it was that hollowness inside that eventually got to me I think and that's I think for a lot of shopping addicts there's that component.
