If you’re making good money but still feel like you’re not actually building wealth… this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, Michelle breaks down the four essential wealth buckets every financially mature woman needs to understand and fund: liquidity, growth, protection, and ownership.

This isn’t about motivation or mindset—it’s about structure. Because without structure, rising income can actually increase your financial exposure rather than build real wealth.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• What liquidity really means (and how much you actually need)
• Why saving alone will never make you wealthy
• The biggest protection mistakes women overlook
• How ownership is the key to true financial freedom
• Why high income doesn’t equal wealth—and what actually does

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building wealth with intention, this framework will change the way you see your money.

What are you really building—an income… or an asset?

In this episode of Talk Wealthy to Me, Michelle Taylor breaks down the powerful (and often uncomfortable) shift every founder must make to step into true CEO energy.

Here’s the truth: If your business depends on you to survive, it’s not an asset—it’s a job.

Michelle dives into:

• The difference between founder mode and CEO mode
• Why revenue alone doesn’t equal value
• How profit, predictability, and systems create real wealth
• What investors actually look for in a business
• And how to build something that generates income with or without you

Whether you’re a business owner or not, this episode will change the way you think about money, ownership, and long-term wealth.

Because building wealth isn’t just about what you earn—it’s about what you build.

If something unexpected happened tomorrow—would your financial team know what to do?

In this episode, Michelle Taylor challenges women to step into the role of CEO of their financial lives. As your income and assets grow, so does complexity—and without the right team in place, gaps, risks, and missed opportunities are inevitable.

Michelle breaks down the difference between financial advice and true coordination, why having “a girl for everything” isn’t enough if they aren’t communicating, and how to build a cohesive wealth strategy that actually works.

From understanding fiduciaries and compensation structures to tax strategy, estate planning, and insurance protection, this episode is a powerful reminder that wealth isn’t just built—it’s structured, protected, and led.

Because you’re not just earning money… you’re building a system that sustains it.

What if the life you’ve built is being shaped by patterns you’ve never fully examined?

In this episode of Talk Wealthy to Me, Michelle sits down with entrepreneur, nonprofit founder, and author Olivia Smith—whose journey from trauma nurse to building a multimillion-dollar business is anything but linear.

Olivia shares how her work with women in recovery revealed a powerful truth: trauma doesn’t discriminate. Whether it shows up as addiction, overwork, or perfectionism, the patterns we carry often stem from experiences we’ve never fully processed.

Together, they unpack:
How childhood experiences shape our relationship with money and leadership
Why avoiding finances can cost you more than you think
The difference between coping and healing
And what it really means to “write a new story” at any stage of life

This conversation is a reminder that success isn’t just about what you build—it’s about what you’re willing to face along the way.

In this episode of Talk Wealthy to Me, Michelle Taylor sits down with entrepreneur, mentor, and media founder Jen Szpigiel for a powerful conversation about visibility, money stories, and what it really takes for women to build wealth without losing themselves in the process.

Jen shares her journey from young motherhood and corporate life to entrepreneurship, scaling multiple seven-figure businesses, and founding Becoming Iconic and Iconic Magazine. Along the way, she opens up about the deeply rooted beliefs she carried around money, success, generosity, and what it meant to be a “good” woman.

Together, Michelle and Jen unpack the fears so many women carry around being seen, making more money, wanting more, and stepping into a bigger version of themselves. They also talk about debt, shame, personal branding, motherhood, purpose, and why building wealth starts with rewriting the story you believe about yourself.

This episode is an honest, empowering reminder that visibility is not vanity, money is not morality, and your next level may be waiting on the other side of the story you’re ready to let go of.

Money conversations inside a marriage can feel uncomfortable—but avoiding them can leave you financially vulnerable.

In this solo episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, Michelle Taylor opens up about a reality many couples quietly experience: financial disengagement inside otherwise healthy marriages.

From the division of labor that slowly becomes a division of financial visibility, to the dangerous assumption that “everything is fine,” Michelle walks through why financial awareness—not control—is the real foundation of security.

She shares the practical questions every partner should be able to answer about their household finances, the structural elements that make up their financial life, and why clarity matters just as much as wealth itself.

Whether you manage your household finances or defer to your spouse, this conversation will help you think differently about financial partnership, communication, and long-term security.
Because true financial empowerment isn’t about doing everything—it’s about understanding the architecture of the life you’re building together.

In this episode, Michelle covers:

• Why financial disengagement happens in healthy marriages
• The difference between financial comfort and financial clarity
• The key financial questions every partner should be able to answer
• Understanding your household’s financial architecture
• How to avoid financial chaos during unexpected life events
• Why financial visibility strengthens relationships

If you’re married, partnered, or building wealth with someone else, this episode is a must-listen.

Success on paper can still feel like chaos at home, especially when you are the default manager of everyone’s schedule. In this episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, Michelle sits down with Zoya Lehrer, fintech and digital innovation leader turned founder of Orgo, a family logistics calendar built to reduce mental load for multi-sport, active families.

Zoya shares her journey from immigrating from Ukraine to the U.S. at age 9 with her mom and $8 in their pockets, to building a 20-year career in financial services, to betting on herself and going all in as an entrepreneur. Together, they talk about the real financial considerations behind leaving a salary, how to think through “the how” of funding your idea (bootstrapping vs. raising capital), and the “boring but critical” business decisions women can’t afford to ignore.

You will also hear the concept Zoya is championing: Time Literacy. Because time equals money, and the way we plan our days shapes our peace, our productivity, and our wealth.

Debora Mendonça didn’t come to the U.S. with a roadmap. She came with a suitcase, a dream, and the kind of determination you can’t teach. In this episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, Michelle sits down with Debora Mendonça, COO of The Glass Knife (a multi-million-dollar bakery and café brand in Winter Park), to unpack the money story behind her rise.

They talk about what it really means to start from scratch in a new country, how her definition of success evolved from external validation to purpose and impact, and how learning to observe systems (not just chase money) changed everything. Debora shares the practical wealth moves she made along the way, including real estate, investing, diversification, and why balance is the real flex.

If you’ve ever felt behind, unsure, or like you missed the “how to” memo, this conversation is your reminder: information creates freedom, and you’re allowed to build wealth on your terms.

What does silence really cost in a relationship? Not just emotionally, but financially too.

In this episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, I’m joined by Colette Jane Fehr, licensed psychotherapist, couples therapist, and author of the newly released book The Cost of Quiet: How to Have the Hard Conversations that Create Secure, Lasting Love. Colette’s work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Oprah Daily, and she’s known for helping couples stop avoiding the conversations that actually build security.

We talk about why money triggers run deeper than spreadsheets, how “small” annoyances turn into big disconnects, and the simple communication shifts that can transform the way you talk about spending, saving, and shared goals. If you’ve ever felt nervous to bring up money, needs, or resentment, this conversation will help you find your voice and protect both your love and your future.

In this episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, Michelle Taylor sits down with Morgan Jones, former professional basketball player turned visionary speaker and founder of Athletes to Visionaries and The Vision Box. Morgan shares the real identity shift that happens when the game ends and the title you were known for disappears, and how that same transformation is required when women evolve into new seasons of leadership and wealth.

Together, they unpack how identity impacts earning, why so many women feel guilt around wanting more, and how to connect money goals to a deeper purpose. Morgan also opens up about growing up seeing both extremes of wealth, what it taught her about stability, and how she is changing the narrative for her son through exposure, language, and a mindset of possibility.

If you’re ready to redefine success on your own terms and build a wealth journey that feels aligned, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
