Description

I sit down with  Miri Friedman, a mom, wife, and actuary to chat about her life and career. She shares how she knew she wanted to be an actuary, and how working through the actuary exams has changed her perspective on failure. We also discuss how her life was upended by a still birth and the organization she founded in her daughter’s memory, Kesser Menucha. Miri Friedman is @mom.wife.actuary. The account was created to share the struggles and successes in a seemingly unknown corporate career path while also balancing a family. Miri currently works remote as an actuary and simultaneously takes intense actuarial exams to further her actuarial accreditation. She also started Kesser Menucha - a nonprofit to support families in the Baltimore community - with her husband in memory of their daughter. @mom.wife.actuary @kesermenucha kessermenucha.org Click here to join the Impact Fashion Whatsapp Status Click here to see my collection of dresses.

Hi, I'm Rivky Itzkowitz I’m the founder and designer at Impact Fashion and I’m the host here at Be Impactful, the show about women making an Impact in their own corners of the world. I started Impact Fashion in November of 2016 so that the modest minded women in my community could feel empowered to put their best foot forward every day, regardless of their size. In the process of growing my business I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with women of all different types and from all different fields. And the main lesson I’ve learnt is that we are all just improvising. We’re going around doing the best we can with what we’ve got, feeling self conscious about what everyone else is accomplishing. The truth is, the people who you’re looking over your shoulder at are probably doing the exact same thing to someone else. So let’s talk about the real nitty gritty in our lives and journeys and lift each other up by being just a bit more open. Join me and my guests as we try to figure out what it means to Be Impactful.
