Have you heard the phrase “be stubborn about your goals and flexible about your method”? It’s pretty good advice.

Attachment and unwillingness to release the plans we’ve made or the expectations we have can be very costly, which is something that today’s guest has learned a lot about in the last few years. But thanks to healing core wounds and reprogramming her subconscious, she’s been able to work through those ego blocks and accomplish some pretty incredible things.

Tonya Rapley is someone who really embodies the 7 Steps to Wealth in her life. Her story is a great example of what’s possible when you break through limiting beliefs and author your own life based on what you actually want–not what you’ve inherited.

Tonya is a speaker, financial educator, best-selling author, and investor. She is the CEO of Her Legacy Media, Inc., and founder of My Fab Finance–a media company that helps you do things with your money that you’re proud of.

I invited Tonya to join me on the podcast to talk about her money journey, including her transition from working at a non-profit to running a multi-million dollar business, getting paid well while doing good in the world, and why she’s choosing to return to employment after nearly a decade of entrepreneurship.

The way Tonya talks about embracing a beginner’s mindset and using new experiences to heal as you age is really inspiring, and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! 👇
