What does building wealth look like when the ultimate goal isn’t simply to have more, but to create a life you actually have time to enjoy? Tonia Burns went from growing up in poverty and experiencing homelessness to becoming a successful corporate executive, business owner, and real estate investor. In this episode, she shares how that journey shaped her drive to build wealth differently, and why leaving corporate opened the door to new opportunities in real estate, tax strategy, and financial freedom. Tonia also breaks down how she started investing in properties, learned to evaluate deals for cash flow, used strategies like cost segregation, and eventually qualified as a real estate professional. Along the way, she went from consistently owing taxes to receiving $35,000 back. But her biggest shift was realizing that more isn’t always better. Instead of chasing an arbitrary goal of owning more properties, Tonia now focuses on building wealth intentionally with the goal of creating more time for family, health, travel, and the life she actually wants. Tune in to hear: Tonia’s journey from childhood poverty and homelessness to corporate successHow she worked her way into leadership at a young ageWhy earning a great W-2 income still wasn’t enough for the life she wantedMaking the transition from corporate executive to business ownerHow entrepreneurship opened up new tax-planning opportunitiesWhy Tonia decided to start investing in real estateLearning to evaluate deals based on actual cash flowUsing cost segregation as part of her tax strategyHow she went from paying taxes every year to receiving $35,000 backQualifying as a real estate professional after leaving corporateWhy documentation matters when implementing tax strategiesBuilding a real estate portfolio around your actual lifestyleWhy Tonia abandoned her goal of owning eight or nine propertiesThe difference between an impressive goal and an intentional oneCreating wealth that gives you more time for family, health, travel, and yourselfWhy you don’t have to “do all the things” to become successfulConnect with Tonia: https://www.instagram.com/tonia_b3/  How To Get Involved: Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

What if building a wildly successful business didn’t have to mean sacrificing your health, family, or happiness? In this episode of Life-Changing Money, Barbara sits down with Malia Hollowell to talk about what happened after she built a $4.8 million business, and realized the version of success she had created was burning her out. We talk about perfectionism, imposter syndrome, simplifying your business, and learning to trust yourself instead of chasing what’s working for everyone else. Malia also shares the mindset shift that helped her stop shrinking in rooms full of successful women and start showing up with confidence. If you’ve ever felt like more money, more growth, and a bigger team were supposed to make you happier (but somehow made life feel heavier) this conversation is your permission slip to do business differently. In this episode, we cover: How Malia went from elementary school teacher to building a $4.8 million businessThe hidden cost of trying to be the perfect mom, wife, entrepreneur, and bossWhat severe burnout taught her about letting go of controlWhy having a large team isn’t the definition of entrepreneurial successCreating a business around the life YOU actually wantThe perfectionism exercise every entrepreneur should tryWhy rest and white space can make you a better business ownerMoving from a fixed salary mindset to believing in your earning potentialThe “everyone is obsessed with me” mindset shiftDealing with imposter syndrome in rooms full of successful entrepreneursWhy making more money doesn’t have to change who you areAvoiding shiny object syndrome and trusting your own business instinctsMalia’s vision for helping women simplify their businesses while making millionsBuying her first Airbnb in Sedona and beginning her real estate portfolioWhy success should leave room for your family, creativity, travel, and LIFEConnect with Malia: https://www.instagram.com/maliahollowell https://www.maliahollowell.com/ How To Get Involved: Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and true wealth isn’t your income, your investment strategy, or your business but the money story you’ve been carrying since childhood? In this episode of Life-Changing Money, Barbara sits down with Danielle McKinley to talk about the psychology of money, building and exiting a business, creating generational wealth, and why understanding your money story can completely change the way you build wealth. They talk about how childhood experiences can quietly drive our financial decisions, Danielle’s five money archetypes, and why even highly successful entrepreneurs can struggle to actually hold onto and enjoy the wealth they create. Danielle also breaks down infinite banking, how properly structured whole life insurance can potentially be used to build and leverage wealth, and why understanding both the benefits and limitations of these strategies matters. In this episode, we cover: How childhood experiences create lifelong money storiesWhy making more money doesn’t automatically change your relationship with moneyDanielle’s five money archetypes and the “Hustling Hero”The connection between self-worth, overworking, and financial successDanielle’s journey from college dropout to successful entrepreneurBuilding a company for 12 years before ultimately exitingWhat she wishes she knew before selling her businessWhat it was like selling to private equity and navigating a two-year earnoutHow Danielle approached investing after her exitUsing trusts as part of a generational wealth planTeaching children about money instead of simply handing them wealthCommon misconceptions about life insuranceLiving benefits and their potential role in wealth protectionHow infinite banking is designed to workPotential risks of improperly structured policiesWhy your financial strategies need to align with your individual money storyConnect with Danielle: https://www.instagram.com/moneyshameslayer/  https://daniellemckinley.com/ How To Get Involved: Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

What do you actually want? It sounds like a simple question, but for so many women, it’s surprisingly difficult to answer. In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with her dear friend and pleasure coach Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton for a conversation about pleasure, desire, relationships, money, and giving yourself permission to create a life that actually feels good. Dr. Kim shares her incredible journey from growing up in a high-control religious environment and waiting until marriage to have sex, to realizing the life she had built wasn’t actually what she wanted. She opens up about her first marriage, the affair that became an unexpected turning point, leaving her church community, and ultimately building an entirely new relationship with herself, her desires, and pleasure. She also shares how her own pleasure journey unexpectedly became a business, why learning to generate pleasure for yourself can transform your relationships, and what happens when you surround yourself with women who give you permission to want more. In this episode, we talk about: Dr. Kim’s journey from evangelical Christianity to becoming a pleasure coachWaiting until marriage to have sex and what happened afterwardThe affair that became a catalyst for completely changing her lifeWhy leaving behind old identities can feel incredibly lonelyHow religious and cultural conditioning can disconnect women from desireWhy pleasure is about so much more than sexShopping, champagne, luxury, food, and other forms of everyday pleasureThe connection between pleasure, wealth, freedom, and having it allWhy women are taught not to be “high maintenance”Learning to ask for exactly what you want without apologizingHow to figure out what you genuinely like after years of ignoring yourselfWhy generating your own pleasure can improve your relationshipsBuilding friendships with women who celebrate rather than compete with youHow Dr. Kim turned her personal transformation into a pleasure-coaching businessGiving yourself permission to create a completely different lifeConnect with Dr. Kim: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkimberlyrosependleton/  Website: https://www.kimberlyrosependleton.com/  How To Get Involved: Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

What if the next level of your business isn’t about doing more but learning how to be held? In this episode of Life-Changing Money, Barbara is joined by her client and friend Jenna Brown for a conversation from Greece about intuition, entrepreneurship, spirituality, and what it really means to build a business that supports your life. We dive into Jenna’s approach to business through what she calls the 3D, 5D, and 7D dimensions. She explains how entrepreneurs can become highly skilled at creating money, momentum, and success while still feeling like they’re carrying everything themselves. She also shares why building a business that feels expansive requires more than another strategy.

What happens when your business, income, and opportunities grow faster than your identity can keep up? In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with storytelling and communication expert Mike Ganino from Greece to talk about what it really takes to become the person capable of holding your next level of success. Mike believes that as entrepreneurs become more successful, one of the biggest challenges isn’t learning another marketing strategy. It’s letting go of the versions of ourselves we created to feel safe, accepted, or successful. We talk about the difference between actually becoming wealthy and simply performing wealth, why so many entrepreneurs struggle to show up authentically online, and how the stories you tell can create an audience that doesn’t just follow you but feel deeply connected to you. Because whether you’re speaking on a stage, recording a podcast, selling on Instagram, or sitting across from a potential client, you are the message. Tune in to hear: How moving to Europe changed Mike’s relationship with work, money, and slowing downWhy your identity has to evolve as your income and success growThe difference between becoming successful and performing successWhy entrepreneurs often hide behind versions of themselves they think people want to seeHow childhood conditioning can shape the way you communicate as an adultWhy the strongest personal brands are built by taking things off (not adding more tactics)How to become more comfortable being seen on social media, podcasts, and stagesWhy visibility is ultimately built through repetition and intentional practiceMike’s journey from flight attendant and actor to restaurateur and storytelling coachHow he accidentally discovered he could get paid thousands of dollars to speakWhy storytelling is one of the most powerful skills an entrepreneur can developHow to create emotional connection without oversharingWhy “winging it” isn’t always the flex entrepreneurs think it isThe difference between having 25 years of experience and repeating one year of experience 25 timesWhy feedback and coaching accelerate your growth as a communicatorHow to choose opportunities based on the bigger story you’re buildingWhy the right stories can help people see themselves in you—and ultimately want to work with you Connect with Mike: Instagram: @mikeganino  Website: MikeGanino.com.

What does it really take to build multiple businesses, create serious wealth, and still have the capacity to enjoy the life you worked so hard for? In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara is joined by Dr. Stephanie Wigner, chiropractor, entrepreneur, coach, and founder of The Wealthy Practitioner. Stephanie’s story is a powerful example of what can happen when you stop letting your circumstances define what’s possible for your life. Growing up in a family impacted by addiction, Stephanie always knew she wanted something different. She didn’t have the full roadmap, but she was willing to keep taking the next step. Even when that meant enrolling in chiropractic school without fully knowing what she was getting herself into. That decision eventually led to building five chiropractic clinics alongside her husband, growing a thriving coaching company, and helping thousands of entrepreneurs and practitioners expand their businesses, confidence, and capacity. Stephanie shares how she and her husband navigated the uncertainty of COVID while running multiple practices, why they chose to double down when other businesses were shutting their doors, and how betting on themselves completely changed the trajectory of their lives. Tune in to hear: Stephanie’s journey from a difficult childhood to becoming a doctor and entrepreneurHow her grandfather shaped her work ethic, loyalty, and determinationTaking a $300K leap into chiropractic school without knowing exactly where it would leadBuilding five chiropractic clinics with her husbandWhy Stephanie and Kyle intentionally built separate businesses and brandsWhat happened when COVID hit while they were operating multiple practicesHow refusing to operate from fear helped them double their businessesThe reality of growing businesses while raising a young familyWhy their fourth clinic almost pushed them past their limitsThe communication habits that keep their marriage and businesses strongHow Stephanie discovered her gift for coaching and helping people unlock their potentialThe limiting beliefs that keep entrepreneurs from pursuing what they really wantWhy your ability to grow is directly connected to your capacity to hold moreThe difference between a season of expansion and a season of recalibrationWhy slowing down can sometimes be harder than pushing forwardLearning to stop comparing your pace to what you see onlineStephanie’s goal of creating $1 million in annual passive incomeWhy wealth becomes less about accumulating money and more about increasing your impactConnect with Stephanie: Website: https://stephaniewigner.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/drstephaniewigner/  Tickets for Meant to Win Live: https://go.thewealthypractitioner.com/meant-to-win-live-2027?

What does it take to move to a new country, learn a new language, start working at just 12 years old, and eventually build a thriving accounting and tax strategy firm? In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with Marina, a fellow tax strategist, accounting firm owner, entrepreneur, wife, and mom, to talk about her incredible journey from immigrating to the United States from Ukraine at 11 years old to leading an eight-person team and serving clients across multiple states. They also get into one of the biggest shifts that happens as an entrepreneur grows: realizing your business doesn’t need you involved in every single thing. Marina opens up about learning to trust her team, letting go of the guilt around traveling for business, and discovering that her employees, clients, and family can all thrive even when she steps away. And this conversation goes far beyond business. Marina shares how entrepreneurship has impacted her marriage, what she wants her children to understand about money, and the deeply personal mission behind the nonprofit she created to help families affected by Dravet syndrome, a rare condition her younger daughter lives with. Tune in to hear: Marina’s experience immigrating from Ukraine to the United States at 11 years old Why she was determined to start working as soon as she could How her early experiences shaped her work ethic and relationship with money The tax mistake that inspired her to begin preparing taxes herself Growing an accounting and tax firm primarily through word of mouth Transitioning from tax preparation into higher-level tax strategy Building and leading an eight-person team Creating a consistent client experience without having to personally serve every client Why entrepreneurs have to learn to trust their teams Letting go of mom guilt and business-owner guilt How business growth has strengthened Marina’s relationship with her husband Creating more freedom to travel, think bigger, and plan for the future Using AI to save time and create efficiencies inside a business Teaching children to understand and respect money Why community and collaboration matter—even with people in the same industry Marina’s mission to raise awareness and support families impacted by Dravet syndrome Connect with Marina: https://www.instagram.com/artmarinataxfirm/ https://artmarinataxfirm.com/ How To Get Involved: Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

We talk about the shift from being the person doing everything inside your business to becoming the CEO who leads it.

What happens when the corporate career you were taught was “safe” no longer feels safe and betting on yourself becomes the more secure choice? After 25 years in the media industry, Stacey Kauffman left her executive position at a billion-dollar company to build an executive advisory business of her own. Although she had considered entrepreneurship for years, a frightening situation at her daughters’ school became the moment that pushed her to stop waiting and make the leap. In this episode of Life Changing Money, Stacey shares how she transformed decades of leadership, sales, marketing, and business-growth experience into a successful advisory practice. She explains how she found her first clients, intentionally grew through referrals, and now helps leaders navigate disruption, strengthen operations, refine their business models, and get out of the day-to-day hamster wheel.
