Ever felt like you're building a business, raising a family, and carrying the weight of both—without a real financial plan that supports it all? You're not alone. In this episode, Hailey sits down with Javeste Dulcio, Harvard-trained attorney turned fintech founder and CEO of Stork Fund, to talk about the financial infrastructure moms in business actually need—but rarely hear about.
