Today marks the one-year anniversary of the Wealthways podcast. The past 12 months have been filled with interesting conversations with inspiring women, all of whom have been incredibly generous with their time, forthcoming about their professional and personal journeys, and candid about the ways they define wealth. 

 

Each has left an indelible mark on the show, and in this special anniversary episode, Dawn & Jane reflect on what they've taken away from those chats, discuss what they've learned about themselves, muse about their dream guests, and chart a course forward.

This week, Dawn & Jane welcome Becky Allen, owner of Win the Day Productions, to the show. After doing everything she'd been led to believe she was supposed to throughout her life – go to school, get good grades, find a solid job – she broke free from the shackles of conventionality and opened a wellness business with her husband. Then the universe threw them a curveball in the form of an unexpected diagnosis. Equal parts emotional, triumphant, moving, and inspirational, hers is a story that we're proud to share.
