A Quick Introduction To Who We Are

Meet Jennifer Varteressian, Co-Founder/Host

Hey y’ all, I'm Jen Varteressian, an ATX entrepreneur who refused to let a miserable job define my life. After law school, I found myself trapped in a stagnant, repetitive, and anxiety-ridden life. It took me years to gather the courage to shape my own destiny. Finally, I decided to start my own business but still had many lessons to learn that would enable me to create a life that was on my terms. My purpose is to empower women who yearn for unconventional options. I believe the best way to break barriers is to walk it out and learn and implement along the way. I did not have a community guiding me along my journey, so it is very important to me to cultivate one for other women. Success to me is about incremental progress, getting 1% better each day. The path to your dreams might be winding, but with every step, you're closer than you think.

Meet Michella Fuccella, Co-Founder/Co-Host

Hi there, I’m Michelle Fuccella, a NYC-based financial advisor and Certified Divorce Specialist who believes that resilience makes you stronger. Witnessing my mother’s struggles and health issues led me to understand the importance of being financially savvy at a young age.  Now my personal motivation lies in empowering women to achieve that same financial independence in their own lives, sharing my experience and knowledge with women facing challenging situations just like my mother did. By supporting and uplifting one another, as women have the power to make the world better together. As Thomas Edison said, “The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
