On my 50th birthday, I was deliberately ignored. My wishes. Me.

I decided two things that day.

To live until 111 — so that more than half my life was still ahead of me.

And to create my own joy. Not wait for it. Create it.

She Became CEO was born from those decisions.

Its job, then, was to help me get over the invisible wall that kept me from sharing my voice with the world. I didn't even hope that more than a couple of people would listen. That would be enough for me to feel committed and consistent. In fact, I feared having a large audience. The podcast's name was Ill Zebra's Transformations, and I made it partly fictitious at the time. 

I renamed it to She Became CEO when I felt I had healed and could lead others again. That's when I also started receiving pitches and interviewing guests. We discuss matters that change perspectives and help people heal, act, and create.

Because a woman who learns to take care of herself first changes everything around her.

I created them to share what I have learned — about health, money, and relationships — in the hope that many women can avoid the pain I went through figuring it out.
