What happens when creativity, nature, and a leap of faith collide? In this episode of Women Talking Money, Gretchen Betts chats with Jenny Pearson, founder of Halisphere, about turning a love of flowers into a thriving business started right at her dining table.

As a mum of two, Jenny shares the balancing act of family, finances, and following your dreams. She talks honestly about leaving a secure career, reshaping her money mindset, and building resilience through entrepreneurship.

We explore how values and purpose guide her business and philanthropy, the lessons learned from risk-taking, and the influence of family money stories on financial choices.
