| By Joy Chudacoff Leave a Comment

After learning her husband had a gambling problem and left her with a few children and a million dollars in debt, Barbara Huson knew she needed to get smart about one thing: MONEY.

Shortly after this, Barbara was given a free-lance journalist assignment to interview women who were smart with their money. This assignment changed her life and became a catalyst for her career as a women’s wealth and power expert.

Barbara is the bestselling author of Secrets for Six-Figure Women, Prince Charming Isn’t Coming as well as four other amazing books about women and wealth. She has been featured on Good Morning America, The View, Extra, The O’Reilly Report, and many times on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, PBS and NPR, as well as the New York Times, and USA Today.

Angela Sutherland and Evelyn Rusli on She's Got Moxie with Joy Chudacoff

When Angela Sutherland was pregnant with her first child, she discovered that the options for healthy, tasty, nutrient and dense baby food didn’t exist. Initially, it was a scary thought, but she saw opportunity which led to her partnering with good friend Evelyn Rusli and launching Yumi.

Yumi is a nutrition & wellness based company providing quality meals for the first 1,000 days of your child’s life. Yumi meals are fresh, organic, packed with nutrition and delivered RIGHT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR.

Both Co-Founders of Yumi are a force to be reckoned with. Angela Sutherland, the CEO and Co-Founder of Yumi, was formerly an investment banker at Goldman Sacks and is skilled at businesses and operations. Evelyn Rusli, the President and Co-Founder of Yumi, previously was a journalist at the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times covering startups and innovation.

On today’s show, Angela and Evelyn talk about the best action step they’ve taken so far in their company and it is spot on. They talk about how to scale accurately as they move across the country, and what they hold onto in their tough days. Also, Angela and Evelyn share their biggest challenges in business and a whole lot more.

You Are Freaking Brilliant…

I struggled this week on what I wanted to share with you. I actually had one article written and another in draft mode, but neither were hitting the mark for me instinctually.

This morning I woke with a rush of energy and intense passion. I knew exactly what my message needed to be. Read on if you are ready to be inspired and at the same time feel a little uncomfortable.

We, as women in leadership (by the way, that’s you), need to persist in having our voices heard. You need to speak up for other women who may not for varying reasons (i.e. fear, physical abuse) cannot in their current situation. You need to speak up for your mothers, daughters, sons, grandchildren and next door neighbors.
