The Missing Financial Plan for Moms in Business (That Can Change Everything)

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.

They unpack how to treat your life like a strategic asset, how to start planning even if you feel behind, and why small, consistent savings can shift not just your bank balance, but your entire mindset.

Whether you're already a mom, planning for the future, or just craving more clarity and freedom in your personal and professional life, this episode is your permission slip to think differently about money, family, and what success really looks like.
