Across the US, from our kitchens, our boardrooms (even our bedrooms) women launch nearly 2000 new businesses every. single. day.They’re family women. Single women. Moms. Or not. They’re college graduates. High-school dropouts. Debtors. Bootstrappers. Multimillionaires. They’re women from every culture, community, and background. Now more than ever, they’re women of color, too.

These aren’t the kinds of success stories you hear every day. But they should be.

Helen Ngo, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, multiple-business-owner, money-and-empowerment coach for women entrepreneurs, knows the real questions—and doesn’t hesitate to ask. Hear the unfiltered answers, real-life experiences, lessons learned, and yes, actual costs of what’s lost and what’s earned by women who’ve fired their old life to start something new.

Tune in each Wednesday to hear their bold stories.
