In this episode of She’s Smart, I sit down with Christine Short, Head of Research at TMX Group, to unpack the world of financial markets in a way that actually makes sense.

Christine has spent over 15 years analyzing corporate earnings and decoding what she calls the “body language” of companies—the subtle signals that reveal what’s really happening behind the numbers. Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Bloomberg, and more, but what makes this conversation so refreshing is how human and relatable she makes it all feel.

We talk about her unexpected path into finance, what it’s like being a woman in a male-dominated industry, and how understanding the markets is less about math—and more about storytelling.

We also dive into money, investing, and why women may actually have an edge when it comes to building long-term wealth.

Whether you’re deep into finance or just starting to think about your money differently, this episode will leave you feeling more informed—and more confident.

Note: This episode was recorded in November; some market references reflect that moment in time, but the insights remain incredibly relevant.
