We talk a lot about confidence here, but today we’re talking about the kind that often gets overlooked: financial confidence — the kind that helps you feel safe, supported, and steady no matter what life throws your way.

In this honest conversation, Rachel Brooks sits down with author, CPA, and wealth mentor Tanya Taylor to explore what it really means to steward your money well. From arriving in America at sixteen with $100 to becoming a millionaire by 48, Tanya’s story is one of grit, faith, and radical responsibility. This is a conversation about wisdom, protection, and the kind of confidence that doesn’t come from having it all together — but from building intentionally.

If you’ve been craving clarity, courage, or a sense of direction with your finances, you’ll want to listen to this one all the way through.

You’ll Hear:

• How to rebuild when life blindsides you
• Why financial confidence is emotional confidence
• The mindset shift that changes everything about money
• The mistake women make that puts them at financial risk
• Why preparation isn’t fear — it’s freedom
• How God uses detours to redirect your purpose
• The truth about long-term protection no one talks about
