Handling Rumors and Parasocial Scrutiny

We sit down with investor and founder of Hot Smart Rich, Maggie Sellers, who’s redefining what power, partnership, and purpose look like. From prenups to power moves, this episode is for people who want it all: clear boundaries, financial fluency, and relationships that scale your life instead of shrinking it.

We share:

 ✅ Why planning your prenup is more important than planning your wedding

 ✅ The subtle repeatable power move that will maximize your long term success

 ✅ The importance of choosing a life co-founder – not just a partner

 ✅ A daily practice that rewires toxic thoughts and self-doubt

 ✅ Why high-value women must stop competing and start collaborating
