đź’ˇ What does it really take to thrive in business, build lasting wealth, and create meaningful change?
In this episode of The Empowered Money Girl podcast, Josette Mandela sits down with Paula Pingel—a visionary business development executive, global leader, and startup advisor with over 30 years of experience guiding organizations to new heights.
Paula shares her journey from growing up in Jamaica to raising her hand for opportunities others were afraid to take. Together, we dive into: ✨ Why risk-taking is the secret to growth and leadership ✨ How to define financial independence (and why it’s always a work in progress) ✨ Smart investing lessons—from 401(k)s to real estate to startups ✨ Why women can’t afford to rely solely on a partner for financial security ✨ The importance of mentoring, innovation, and paying it forward
If you’re ready for actionable insights on leadership, financial independence, and living boldly, you’ll love this conversation with Paula.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
