For generations, we have been conditioned to approach money from a place of caution, scarcity, or mere survival. This is particularly true for women, who often navigate systemic barriers to financial agency. But true wealth is about more than numbers on a balance sheet —it is also about your autonomy, purpose, and ability to drive meaningful change in the world.
In this transformative session, early-stage investor and award-winning author Marcia Dawood reveals how the invisible money stories we inherit quietly dictate our careers, leadership styles, and long-term sense of possibility. Drawing from her extensive career funding high-growth startups and advising federal financial committees, Marcia will challenge you to dismantle legacy mindsets around money.
Whether you are looking to scale your career, make more aligned financial choices, or step confidently into the world of investing, this webinar provides the ultimate roadmap to reshape your relationship with capital and unlock a future of true, unapologetic abundance.
