In this episode of The Abundance Alchemist Podcast, host Caitlyn Dorsey chats with Sharon Schneider, an entrepreneur and philanthropy expert, who has managed over $1.5 billion in philanthropic capital.

She offers practical advice on how to align your life with your values through small, impactful actions.
