She spent 11 years working for a Fortune 100 company running multi-million dollar marketing campaigns with large brands like Microsoft and HP. Now she provides online marketing education to small businesses that are looking to build a profitable revenue stream through digital products through her online courses and podcast. I invited Monica on the show because I think it is so important that we have these conversations about women and money. They are hot button conversations for sure. And you know I never shy away from a hot button convo! Every single one of us was raised with a money story and we must constantly look at how we look at money and its role in our lives.  Listen in to hear Monica share: How she landed at the White House seated in a round table conversation with President Barack Obama The truth about the working mom tax - the price moms pay to play in corporate America Why it’s critical for women to be financially independent The double standard of men being automatically autonomous with their finances and women having to jump through hoops to have financial autonomy How women can have more impact across multiple women’s lives through building microeconomies What happens across our communities when more women have financial independence Why mom guilt is a not real, but a social construct Links mentioned: Join my free business training on November 18th Connect with Monica Empowered Business Podcast™ Monica on Instagram Thank you to our sponsor: MamaZen: Go to your app store or Google Play and download MamaZen today.

Welcome to Shameless Leadership! This show is for women, transgender people, non-binary folks, and allies who are committed to advancing their leadership and the leadership of those around them. In this space, we believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported. Our mission is to help you foster these feelings within your own circles of influence to build trust, psychological safety, and a culture of belonging. In each episode, we dive into essential topics impacting women in leadership - everything from shutting down your inner critic and imposter syndrome to overcoming perfectionism to using your voice in new ways to advocate for yourself, your ideas, and other folks carrying marginalized identities. You'll hear practical tips, effective strategies, and inspiring stories that will not only enhance your leadership skills but also broaden your perspective to become a more confident, thoughtful, and empathetic leader. Our stories come from people carrying identities who are often underrepresented, underestimated, and excluded. By sharing their experiences, we aim to provide you with invaluable lessons that will transform your leadership journey. We are thrilled to have you join this community of Shameless Leaders who are actively creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, can intentionally lead through a more curious, compassionate, and inclusive lens.
