What happens when someone who built a seven-figure business, studied financial psychology, and spent her career helping women get paid loses everything? In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Claire Wasserman, founder of Ladies Get Paid, career and pay coach, and author of the book Ladies Get Paid. Claire shares the unfiltered story of how the pandemic, having twin babies, and her son's open heart surgery at seven days old took her from financial success to negative net worth — and what she's learning about money, identity, and resilience on the other side.
