We don’t talk enough about what it means to feel unsafe in success. When you’re the first in your family to build wealth, to dream bigger than survival, it comes with a mix of fear, pressure, and responsibility.

In this premiere episode of Future in Focus, I share the personal story behind why I left corporate law and a career at Goldman Sachs to start a boutique transactional firm rooted in helping others do the same—build, grow, and protect their wealth with intention.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever been afraid to dream because no one showed you how. For the women who’ve done “everything right” but still feel behind. And for every first-generation wealth builder trying to rewrite the story they were born into.

Walk about:

Growing up with a single mom and internalizing scarcity -How law school gave me my first glimpse of stability
My battle with financial anxiety—even while working in Big Law and finance
Why therapy, travel, and one turning point in Paris changed everything
The mindset shift that helped me launch my firm and claim a new future

Thank you for joining me in this space. I built this show to hold space for honest conversations about money, mindset, and generational change.
