Wealth is a Tool, Not a Barometer: Redefining the "Good Life"
What happens when a high-powered career on a Wall Street trading desk costs you your health? For Jenn Barry, C-suite executive at Aaron Wealth Advisors, the answer was a complete life pivot. After losing 100 pounds and reclaiming her physical self, Jen discovered that true "wealth" isn't found in a bank account—it's found in strength, sleep, and psychological enrichment.
In this episode, Jenn shares her 30-year journey from the intensity of Wall Street to the intentionality of the C-suite.
