[NABBW Financial Podcast](https://nabbw.com/shows/nabbw-financial-podcast/) - For over 11 years now, Anne Holmes, Boomer in Chief of the National Association of Baby Boomer Women (NABBW.com) and Pam Sams, have held a monthly discussion on important information related to money and financial planning. Past topics have ranged from retirement income planning, to overlooked uses for life insurance, long-term care basics; and from understanding cryptocurrency to grey divorce and what it takes to afford to retire. An expert in personal finance, Pam is President of Jackson Sams Wealth Strategies in Herndon, Virginia, and NABBW’s Retirement Planning Associate, as well as an international speaker, author and talk show host, and has also been featured in the Washington Post, Fortune and Wall Street Journal. Using a values-based approach, she helps clients make financial decisions that align their values, goals and behavior so they can live their best lives. As a Trusted Advisor to Professional Women, Pamela J. Sams is highly credentialed, a graduate of the College for Financial Planning’s CFP certification program and able to claim BFA (Behavioral Financial Advisor), CRPC (Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor), and MBA (with emphasis on Financial Management) certifications, as well as being a member of the MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table). Pam says, “My aim in life is to give wonderful service and for all those with whom I come in contact be blessed by what I have to offer and are able to sleep well at night. So, if you ever have a friend or family member who would benefit from a conversation with me, I’d love to speak to them.” Please enjoy our podcasts. - [Generation Bold](https://nabbw.com/shows/generation-bold/) - Adriane G.
