Are you feeling overwhelmed trying to balance motherhood, work, and your dream of entrepreneurship? In this episode, I chat with Fo Alexander, a three-time author and financial educator, who shares her inspiring journey from a well-paid engineering career to building her own business and wealth as a mom.

Key Takeaways:

• The first steps to become financially free and start building wealth as a mom
• Why overcoming fear and perfectionism is crucial to launching and growing your business
