Overview
Life can throw obstacles in our path, forcing us to make unforeseen detours and reevaluate our goals and dreams. For many of us, the obstacles are financial. Though the detour may change our timeline, we can begin to create a new path forward.
Using my story of starting over after divorce at 53 and some practical personal finance tips, I hope to inspire, motivate, and engage attendees in ways that show it is never too late to start over. I also share how we can be resilient in the face of adversity.
I'm an Accredited Financial Counselor®, who helps busy women master their finances so they can live freely no matter what stage of life they’re in or where they are on their financial journey.

It was an absolute privilege to have Dr. Sev as a speaker at the 2023 Unbreakable Success Virtual Summit. Her expertise in the realm of finance was not only enlightening but also immensely valuable to our audience. Dr. Sev's approach was the epitome of professionalism, and her readiness to address audience queries was commendable. Her profound knowledge and eloquent delivery greatly enriched our event. We are eager to extend another invitation to Dr. Sev for next year's summit, confident in the tremendous insight and expertise she brings to the table.

What to Expect
Attendees can expect to walk away with practical action steps to rebuild or build their finances.
They will be motivated by my come back story and be encouraged with strategies that let them know they too can bounce back.
A theme of hope, flexibility, and resilience will be woven throughout my presentations. I want attendees to know that even though they might not reach their original goals due to unintended roadblocks, they can pivot and create a revised goal based on their new circumstances.
About
Dr. Severine Bryan is an Accredited Financial Counselor®, Personal Finance Educator, and host of the Dr. Sev Talks Money podcast. She has been teaching personal finance concepts for over 20 years, and in 2020 she founded Bryan Financial Empowerment LLC to further her mission of serving women. Dr. Sev helps busy women master their finances and reach their financial goals so they can live freely no matter what stage of life they’re in.
An active member of the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education®, Dr. Sev's personal finance mission became much more intentional after going through a divorce at age 53. After walking away from the home she owned for 13 years, she rebuilt her credit from the low 500s to 800s. She was able to grow a substantial emergency fund and rebuild a negative net worth into multiple six figures in just over 4 years after her divorce. Dr. Sev’s financial rebuild also included paying off $39k in student loans in under 4 years, post-divorce. If that were not enough, she completed her doctoral degree at age 56 and started her YouTube and Podcast at 58. Her experience has made her empathetic towards those who need to rebuild their finances and/or change their life's direction.
During the health pandemic of 2020, Dr. Sev founded Bryan Financial Empowerment LLC dba Sev Talks Money to serve women in the areas of debt management, debt crisis counseling, financial literacy, credit management, savings, budgeting, and setting financial goals. With this company, she is on a mission to reach at least 10,000 women over the next 5 years with the message of hope for their finances. She plans to do this through workshops, speaking engagements, individual and group counseling, and more.
She also authored her first book titled “Never Too Late to Begin Again: A Personal Finance Story”. In this book she shares some of her experiences as they relate to her financial life, while providing personal finance tips and strategies. The objective is that her story will provide hope to women, especially those experiencing gray divorces, to know they are not alone, and that reclaiming their lives is possible. She is working on getting the book published.
Dr. Sev volunteers with organizations such as Women’s Money Matters and Eden Housing where she helps mostly women with their finances. She has been a guest on many podcasts, presenter at workshops, and has spoken to several women groups.
A graduate of the Nasdaq Milestone Circle program, she returned to mentor new program participants. She also graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurship program at Cornell University.
Signature speaking topics include: It's Never Too Late For A Financial Restart, Budgeting Your Way to Peace of Mind/Saving For a Rainy Day: Penny by Penny, How to Quit Your Job Smartly, and Mastering the Monster 3 Digits: Your Credit Score. She also speaks on Preparing for Life's Unexpected Events.
Additional Booking Notes
I would prefer attendees sit directly in front of the stage rather than to the side. Lectern, if provided should be to the left or right of the stage instead of center.
