In this episode of Richer Soul, we dive into the inspiring journey of Cathy Christen, a serial entrepreneur, speaker, and executive business coach who is passionate about helping others craft a "Life by Design."

Now, Cathy encourages others to view money as a means to create positive change, not as a source of fear or greed.
