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! 👇

Want to help your child get into their top choice college with $75,000 of scholarship money? Then pay attention Money Lover, because today we’re talking about what you need to know–and what you can do–to make that happen.
Choosing and paying for the right college is something that has frustrated many parents for many years. Dr. Pamela Ellis has made it her mission to help families navigate the admissions process and get the financial support they need, which is why I invited her to join me on the podcast!

Dr. Ellis has a 95% success rate in getting students into their top-choice colleges, and secures an average of $75,000 in scholarships per student. In this conversation we talked about what led her to this line of work, how she supports families in the college application process, and the five elements of “fit” to consider when selecting a school.
Buckle up for a conversation you will find educational and illuminating–because it covers more than just how to fund a 529.

Are you good at accepting compliments or help from others? Because today’s guest really had me thinking about how often I see women deflect kind words or struggle to receive support–and how that could be negatively impacting their wealth.
I’m absolutely chuffed to welcome Cathy Heller back to the show. Cathy is a teacher, author, and host of one of the top spiritual podcasts, Abundant Ever After, which has been downloaded more than 45 million times!
I love having Cathy on the show because there’s so much overlap between her spiritual encouragement to lean into connection to higher power and my message of financial self-empowerment. We’re both in the arena sharing our own past mistakes with money–and now–our currently transformed and abundant state, because we want you to know that abundance and wealth are in reach for everyone.
Cathy is a practitioner of the law of reception, has a deep understanding of the universal principles of manifestation, and she guides individuals on a transformative journey towards unlocking their highest potential. She joined me on the podcast to talk about her latest book, Abundant Ever After: Tools for Creating a Life of Prosperity and Ease–which is officially available as of TODAY!
There’s a lot of alignment between the concepts Cathy discusses in her book and my 7 Steps to Wealth framework–especially speaking, asking, and earning–and I’m looking forward to sharing the power of these practices in her words because they truly can transform your life.
So, in the spirit of living abundantly ever after, let’s dive in!

You have made it to the final step in the 7 Steps to Wealth framework, Protect!
This is the step that ensures everything you’ve worked so hard to build can’t be lost due to unforeseen–or even semi-predictable–circumstances.
This step might just be the easiest to ignore–because implementing it isn’t the most fun thing on your to do list. Believe me, I get it! It’s a lot more exciting to earn money and invest it than it is to buy insurance or meet with lawyers. But. It’s even LESS fun to lose all your hard-earned money to clerical errors or insufficient insurance.
Remember: As your wealth grows, the weight of potential mistakes grows alongside it–and that’s usually a sign it’s time to bring on a financial professional who can make sure you’re doing everything you should (and could!) to grow and protect your wealth.
I am fundamentally an evidence-based optimist, but let’s not sugar coat it: If you don’t protect your wealth, it doesn’t matter how much you earn–because it could all disappear in a blink. I’ve witnessed it happen more than once, and it is heartbreaking to witness every.single.time.
In this episode, I share five stories of people who have lost their money due to risky investment strategies, negligent estate planning, and unexpected changes in health.
These stories do not come from clients of mine, because events like this just don't happen on my watch, but I do hear about them–and I want you to learn what you can do differently so that you (hopefully!) don’t end up in the same situations.
Listen in, take notes, and take heart, knowing YOU are going to protect your wealth! 👇

I don’t record a bonus episode every time a major event takes place, but I do find cause for chiming in when I see something sparking questions, curiosity, and potential concerns amongst my clients and community.
In this case, that “something” is the 2024 presidential and congressional elections, which are officially in the books. As I’m sure you know, Donald Trump won the presidency and Republicans will now have a majority in the Senate and the House.
What you might not know is what those election results could mean for your money–so that’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode.
At this point, I’ve been running Hendershott Wealth through more than five presidential turnovers. I’ve had the opportunity to exercise a lot of mental acuity in evaluating implications of potential policies, and ensuring my clients’ assets are protected, regardless of the outcome.
Thanks to this experience (and the evidence that backs me up) I have a lot more peace about the potential impact of the election on both my and my clients’ wealth–and I want you to feel the same kind of calm.
So listen in as I share my approach and investment strategy when it comes to geopolitical events like an election, how I deal with all the feelings that are along for the ride, and what I advise you do–or, more accurately–don’t take action on. 👇

Not only is today’s episode centered on one of the juiciest of the 7 Steps to Wealth… it’s also one of my favorites because the topic is downright FUN.
Welcome to Step 6: Invest.
This is where the money game gets exciting, and it really starts to feel like the rules are working in your favor.
Each of the previous steps has been pretty responsibility heavy, requiring mental, emotional, and physical labor from you. Step 6 is really about–in an educated way–releasing the reins a little bit and letting your money do the work FOR you.
Fun fact: Investing is the only way to earn true passive income, but so many people don’t take advantage of the wealth building vehicle that is the stock market because they don’t understand the rules of the playground–and I want to see that change. 👇
In this episode, we’re going to demystify the world of investing and talk about:
Investing allows you to take advantage of the magic of compound returns so you can earn interest instead of paying it, which is the only way to outpace inflation and ensure your money outlives you.
And the simple truth is this: If you want to build meaningful wealth and achieve financial freedom, you must invest. There is no way around it!
So what are you waiting for, Money Lover? It’s time to turn your money into MORE: Let’s invest!

We’re officially at (almost) everyone’s favorite step: Earn! This is what most people think about when they imagine building wealth. After all, more money seems like the obvious solution to financial problems, right?
Increasing the dollars that come into (and stay in) your accounts is definitely an important piece of the wealth building puzzle, but it will only solve your financial problems IF the other Steps to Wealth are looked after.
And.
Earning money is exciting! It creates possibilities, and I promise you will find possibilities everywhere when you start looking for them.
In this episode, I talk about what gets in the way of people making more money, give ideas to help you earn more as an employee or a business owner, and share stories about people who have leaned into the Earn step to increase their wealth–and change their lives for the better. ✨
The purpose of this step is really to start thinking about earning as the intersection between your thoughts and your choices, so you can understand the changes you need to make if you want a different result.
My goal is to leave you inspired to think outside the current box you’re building wealth in–because I KNOW you can find new, creative ways to increase your earnings and achieve financial freedom… on your terms.

Welcome to one of the most elusive steps of the 7 Steps to Wealth framework: Ask.
This step is life changing, because when you embody the Ask step, it means you embody the expectation that you will reach financial freedom.
That said, this step is also especially difficult for women. I’m going to explain why that is–and what you can do to overcome that obstacle–because mastering the practice of asking is essential if you want to build meaningful wealth.
In just 28 minutes, we’re going to explore the importance of identifying what you really want in your life, dig into what gets in the way of asking for what you want–and, you’ll be challenged to ask for more, with very specific examples and action steps to help you get started.
I’ll share stories about people who absolutely changed their lives by asking, like a client who doubled her salary, a friend who got a full ride to medical school, and some women who wanted to pay for Taylor Swift tickets and ended up landing completely new jobs. (They’re my co-VPs of marketing now! 👯)
But this isn’t just about getting what you want. The Ask step is really taking on the view of, the desire for, and the commitment to more. It’s adopting the mindset and behaviors that make asking for things come naturally to you–because the more you ask, the more you will receive… and that’s abundance, baby!
So, what can you ask for that would help you generate more wealth, more income, more investments, more free time, more happiness, more financial comfort, and help you build the life of your dreams?
Because, Money Lover, this is YOUR life. It's your money, your plan, and your future that's on the line–and I promise you no one else cares more about your money than you do.
The world is full of asks. Join the party! 🎉
