What if the biggest financial mistake you're making isn't about your investments, budget, or debt? Today's guest discovered this truth when his family faced a crisis that changed everything, and now he's helping high-earning moms build wealth that actually protects what matters most. Laura sits down with Chirho Garcia, an independent financial advisor with Elevated Retirement Group, who brings a refreshingly human approach to financial planning. Inspired by personal family experiences of crisis and resilience, Chirho saw early that true financial guidance isn't about money itself—it's about protecting what you value most. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why "controlling the gold" is the key to making your own rules • The biggest money mistakes entrepreneurs make (hint: it's the DIY approach) • How to get your financial house in order when you're making six figures • Why your business shouldn't be your retirement plan • The difference between looking wealthy and acting wealthy • Practical first steps for working with financial professionals • How to teach your children about money and legacy Chirho's philosophy centers on helping clients "live out the best values of your life and create memories with the people you love"—because money isn't the goal, it's the tool to live fully, love freely, and create a legacy with purpose. Whether you're a mompreneur struggling to balance business growth with personal financial planning, or you're ready to move beyond the overwhelm and build true financial confidence, this episode offers both inspiration and actionable guidance.
