On this episode of CFO at Home, Elizabeth George, a Dallas-based financial strategist and former private banker, shares her personal journey of reaching financial independence, and using her freedom to build an advice-only consulting practice focused on guiding women through transitions such as divorce, death of a spouse, and marriage.
