In this episode of This Is How She Does It, Angela Lee sits down with Lori Atwood, Certified Financial Planner® and founder of Fearless Finance, to talk about money, motherhood, and redefining success on your own terms.

Lori shares her journey from a high-powered career in investment banking and private equity roles to stepping away from the corporate world during the 2008 recession and after the birth of her daughter.

She shares what led her to building Fearless Finance and her mission to make high-quality, fiduciary financial planning accessible to families and women who previously felt expert advice was out of reach.

Angela and Lori have an honest conversation about the realities of balancing career ambition with family life, the pressure to “have it all,” and what financial empowerment actually looks like for women today. They explore practical topics like setting clear priorities, navigating money conversations in relationships, and creating a financial plan that supports both security and happiness.

If you’re a working mom navigating financial decisions, craving clarity around money, or simply wanting a more grounded and empowering relationship with your finances, this episode offers both insight and reassurance that you’re not alone.
