Summary
Life throws us all curveballs - especially now. Guest Heather Chauvin shares how to handle them and emerge triumphant.
Being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer was the kick in the pants that my guest today says she needed to prioritize her finances and build a richer life. With cancer treatments exceeding $1,000 a week, her family of five was barely able to make ends meet. Within a few years of Heather's diagnosis, she became a multi-six figure business owner...now on her way to a seven-figure year. Today she is cancer free and managed to pay off $60k in credit card debt along the way.
More about Heather Chauvin: She is a leadership coach and strategic parenting expert who helps ambitious women become leaders at work and home. Drawing from her professional experience as a social worker and her life experience raising three boys, Heather created a signature approach to focus her clients on sustainability, profitability and ease in business and life. She is the host of the Mom Is In Control Podcast where she reveals her most vulnerable truths about womanhood, marriage, parenting, living through stage 4 cancer and running a successful business—without burning out. Heather has been featured as a TEDx speaker and on The OWN Network, CTV, and The Jenny McCarthy Show. She has also appeared in Entrepreneur and Real Simple.
