The New Mom Era: Wealth, Purpose and Parenting

The Iconic Podcast | Jennifer Szpigiel

In this deeply honest and inspiring episode, Jen is joined by the award-winning PR maven and multi-business mama, Cris Gordon, to have the conversation so many women are craving…what does it really look like to grow a thriving business and a thriving family at the same time?

Both moms of four, Jen and Cris peel back the curtain on the myth of balance, what it means to build wealth and legacy as mothers, and how motherhood can become the ultimate superpower and not a barrier to ambition.
