For generations, we have been conditioned to approach money from a place of caution, scarcity, or mere survival. This is particularly true for women, who often navigate systemic barriers to financial agency. But true wealth is about more than numbers on a balance sheet —it is also about your autonomy, purpose, and ability to drive meaningful change in the world.

In this transformative session, early-stage investor and award-winning author Marcia Dawood reveals how the invisible money stories we inherit quietly dictate our careers, leadership styles, and long-term sense of possibility. Drawing from her extensive career funding high-growth startups and advising federal financial committees, Marcia will challenge you to dismantle legacy mindsets around money.

Whether you are looking to scale your career, make more aligned financial choices, or step confidently into the world of investing, this webinar provides the ultimate roadmap to reshape your relationship with capital and unlock a future of true, unapologetic abundance. Join early-stage investor and award-winning author Marcia Dawood in this transformative webinar to rewrite your financial story, dismantle legacy money mindsets, and unlock a future of true, purpose-driven abundance and investing power.

True impact shouldn’t cost you your well-being. In her national bestselling memoir, Like a Wave We Break, leadership coach Jane Chen pulls back the curtain on the conventional narrative of professional success.

As the co-founder and former CEO of Embrace Global, Jane’s groundbreaking work with a portable incubator impacted over one million premature babies across 25 countries, earning international acclaim. Yet, behind the global recognition lay an invisible crisis: a relentless pursuit of purpose that ultimately resulted in total burnout.

This webinar will teach ways to shift from fear-based performance to sustainable, aligned leadership. Whether you are an executive steering a team through a major pivot or an individual seeking to align your daily work with your core values, this session provides a science-backed, deeply human blueprint for resilient leadership.

Join national bestselling author and former CEO Jane Chen to discover how to beat burnout, leverage emotional intelligence, and lead through uncertainty with sustainable strength. Watch it live next week on Wednesday, August 5 at 11 a.m. CDT, or access it anytime with the link below!
