In this episode, I'm getting personal and sharing some of my early life experiences that have shaped my money philosophy and why I help women get bolder, braver, and better paid.

No matter what your age is, you are not "too old" for your dreams, whether that is becoming CXO, starting a business, or becoming a competitive body-builder (case in point: Ernestine Shepherd ) It is not possible for you to be "over the hill," because that's just an outdated story that our youth-obsessed media has conditioned you to think. You are more than a story. Your potential is greater than your thoughts. As I celebrate my 41st birthday on New Year's Eve (and ...
