Stop Being Afraid to Talk About Money: Building Wealth, Confidence, and a Business

For most of my life, we did NOT talk about money. Like…at all.

So when I entered the online business world and heard entrepreneurs openly discussing revenue, investing, and financial goals? Your girl was SHOOK.

It took me years to realize something that completely changed my relationship with money: Money isn’t good or bad. Money is a tool.

In this conversation with financial feminist Tori Dunlap, we go beyond money to talk about entrepreneurship, fear of failure, and recognizing the skills you already have that could become a business.

We also dig into why a saturated market doesn’t mean there isn’t room for you. Because people don’t just buy the cake—they buy from the baker. They don’t just buy the photographs—they hire the photographer.

Your perspective, personality, experiences, and values are part of what makes your business different.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I to do this?” or “What if I fail?” this conversation is for you.

Talk about the money. Ask the question. Share what you know. Start the business.

Friend, there’s room for you.
