In this episode, Jonna sits down with wealth mentor and investor Tamar Hermes for a deep-dive conversation on building true financial freedom—especially for high-income earners who are short on time but long on ambition. From growing up in survival mode to creating a thriving investment strategy, Tamar shares how she shifted her mindset, bought her first duplex, and now helps other women do the same through her platform, Women Growing Wealth.

Tamar breaks down key concepts like the difference between active and passive investing, the importance of knowing your “enough number,” and how to leverage tax strategies, syndications, and even Airbnbs to create a more aligned and sustainable path to wealth. Whether you're a busy professional, an aspiring investor, or simply ready to redefine your relationship with money, this conversation offers clarity, strategy, and inspiration.
