Monday\, aka Miz Monday\,” is a bustling entrepreneur juggling numerous projects while caring for her young family. She’ll reveal her secrets to maintaining balance amidst the chaos. \nYlva-Kristina Osterman\, will share her incredible story and how she managed to have a highly successful international career while also being a single mother and raising her children on her own\, as a sole provider.
