Welcome the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast! The weekly show that helps you dream bigger and achieve more in your business, by learning what works from successful female entrepreneurs. In this episode In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast, I speak with Chelsea Brennan, hedge fund manager turned financial educator and entrepreneur, and the Founder of Smart Money Mamas. Chelsea made a great shift from having a career in the world of hedge funds and working 80- hour weeks, to having a work-from-home online business. A shift she realised was needed, after experiencing postpartum depression when her first son was born. Her entrepreneurial journey started when she joined a Facebook group for moms. Not long after she joined, she found she had become their go-to person for any financial questions and concerns. She started a blog to help other moms with similar financial concerns as her friends in the community, which was more of a hobby at first. But seeing just how much she could help moms to get financially confident and thrive, Chelsea turned her blogging hobby and desire to help into a thriving business. Today, she helps other moms create healthy money habits and achieve their biggest financial goals through her content and programmes. Don't miss Chelsea's insightful advice on how to achieve the work-life balance you desire and become successful in your home financial planning.
