I was honoured to spend this episode chatting with Antiguan Megan Samuel-Fields, who is a woman on a mission to improve financial wellness for Caribbean people. As a certified public accountant (CPA), Attorney-at-Law, PhD candidate, life coach and the CEO of Samuel-Fields Consulting, her plate is full, and her passion for making every second and every cent count is unmistakable.
This episode continues exploring the essential question: how do we, as Caribbean women, maximize our contribution to regional economic development while protecting our wellbeing? We discuss the real barriers – the knowledge gaps, the tendency to follow only what our parents practiced – and the specialized strategy required to move beyond them.
In this conversation, Megan shares her insights on:
💲🌿The Power of Layering: How combining disciplines (like accounting, law, and finance) has created a powerful, integrated advantage for her as a Caribbean business leader navigating regional and global markets.
💲🌿Her scores on the Island Woman Ambition/Wellbeing Equation™: A candid discussion on balancing a 9/10 ambition with a sustainable 8/10 wellbeing, and the discipline required to maintain that equilibrium.
💲🌿The Founder’s Foundation: Practical steps and a “survival kit” for Caribbean entrepreneurs seeking growth and resilience in their ventures.
💲🌿Redefining Financial Health: Moving past traditional definitions to understand financial wellness as a holistic life practice tied to intentional living, not just the balance in your bank account.
