Owning Her Authority Podcast | For Ascending Women Ready to Boldly Amplify Their Impact

Dr. Tabatha Russell is the powerhouse CEO and founder of Inside Inspired Women Global, where she helps women create multiple streams of income and live their best lives without apology. With three doctoral degrees and multiple bestselling books, including I Divorced My Money and Married My Mindset, she is a renowned expert in teaching women how to build, protect, and steward generational wealth. 

In this episode, we chat about:

• Navigating the loneliness of the entrepreneurial journey and the fear of outgrowing your current relationships. 
• Overcoming the limiting belief that you are "too loud," "too shy," or "too different" to be an effective leader. 
• Rebuilding your life and business after a devastating financial loss or a partnership gone wrong. 
• Shifting from a mindset of lack to the mindset of "stewardship" required to manage and keep lasting wealth. 

This episode is a must-listen if you're ready to embrace your unique gifts, master your mindset, and create a 100-year plan that outlives you. Tune in to discover why collaboration is the new currency and how to confidently take up the space you've earned!
