Beskrivelse

In this episode of Pearls and Perils, Peta-Kay reflects on the lessons that shaped her January, from celebrating her birthday to navigating the realities of planning an event. She opens up about the emotional and logistical challenges of event planning, the pressure of always being “the strong one”. Peta-Kay dives into why financial literacy is critical for women, the importance of stability in entrepreneurship, and the very real impact of the gender gap in retirement. Throughout the episode, she shares candid insights on being intentional with time and money, learning from setbacks, and cultivating the kind of bold, “delusional” faith required to pursue big goals, even when things feel uncertain.
