As more women become primary breadwinners, scale businesses, and generate significant wealth, I think it\u2019s incredibly important that we learn not just how to make money, but how to understand it, steward it, protect it, grow it, and direct it intentionally. In this episode, I share some of my own financial mistakes as a founder, the mindset shifts that changed my relationship with money, and the lessons I learned about relying too heavily on experts without staying connected to the financial realities of my own business. We talk about the difference between earning money and building wealth, the roles of bookkeepers, accountants, CFOs, and wealth advisors, and why financial confidence often starts with simply being willing to ask questions, even when you feel like you \u201cshould\u201d already know the answers. I also share why operational leadership and financial leadership are deeply connected, and how founders unknowingly create expensive business models when everything depends on them operationally. If you\u2019ve ever felt intimidated by money conversations, disconnected from your numbers, or ready to become a more empowered CEO and steward of your business, this episode is for you.
