My Guest on the Show…
Jennifer Barrett is the Chief Education Officer for Acorns and the Editor in Chief for Grow.
Jennifer is incredibly smart, knows how to move up the ranks in business, and is a high-income earner. In fact, for the past 8 years she has been the primary breadwinner of their family of four.
And it’s been a struggle.
I asked Jennifer to come on the show to share her struggles with being a full-time working mom and how she had to make that pivot in life to start thinking like a breadwinner.
