Redefining Success with Heart, Resilience, and Balance – A Conversation with Ann Bettendorf Freeman | #167

In this heartfelt episode of the UpliftHER Leadership Series on the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ann Bettendorf Freeman—a seasoned financial advisor, VP at Merrill Lynch, and passionate advocate for women’s financial empowerment.

Our conversation was such a beautiful reminder that leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about heart, intuition, and the courage to realign when life calls for balance. Anne shared her inspiring journey from buying her first stock at age 11 to navigating the high-paced world of finance, motherhood, and personal transformation with grace and grit.

Here’s what we explored in this deeply authentic episode:

✅ How early family lessons on money shaped Anne’s lifelong purpose✅ The power of mentorship, resilience, and redefining success on your own terms✅ Navigating burnout and rediscovering self-care after corporate collapse✅ Balancing feminine and masculine energy in leadership and life✅ The importance of letting go of control and embracing support✅ How grief and intuition guided Anne toward a women-led team and renewed purpose✅ Her top self-care rituals—from sacred sleep to mindful movement

Anne’s story is a masterclass in integrating heart and horsepower—reminding us that success doesn’t have to cost our peace. Her wisdom invites us to pause, breathe, and remember that we can thrive without burning out.Connect with Ann Bettendorf Freeman: 🌐LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abfreeman/ 📱 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ann.b.freeman.1/
