In this deep, vulnerable, and powerful episode of Be the Anchor, Kari welcomes her long-time friend and financial powerhouse, Jillian, for a raw conversation about success, identity, and what it really means to thrive as a woman in today’s world.

From money mindset and family dynamics to philanthropy, partnership, motherhood, and ambition - this episode is a call for women to stop playing small, to own their power unapologetically, and to be seen for the impact they’re making in the world.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The fear of being “too much” when you’re ambitious or successful.
• How wealth is perceived differently for women.
• Letting go of guilt around financial success.
• Raising daughters who see success as normal.
• Modeling leadership and contribution, not hustle and depletion.
• Why visibility matters—and why it’s not the same as arrogance.
• The emotional impact of shrinking to stay likable.
• Real stories of being misunderstood or judged for ambition.
• Resilience as a superpower.
• Building supportive partnerships at home and at work.
• Creating sustainable businesses with boundaries and systems.
• Teaching kids generosity and values.
• Using wealth as a tool for legacy, not ego.
• Why we need spaces for brave conversations among women.

This episode is more than a conversation; it’s a rally cry for women who are ready to stop playing small and start showing up boldly in their businesses, families, and communities. As Kari and Jillian remind us, it’s not about ego, it’s about impact. And when women lead unapologetically, everyone benefits.

Whether you're just starting out or sitting at the helm of something incredible, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to choose between being kind and being powerful; you can be both.
