About this listen

 This week on Talk Wealthy to Me, Michelle Taylor sits down with the dynamic and inspiring Dr. Stephanie Poris—Orlando’s only female-owned and operated, double board-certified plastic surgeon. Known as The Stiletto Surgeon, Dr. Poris shares her incredible journey from a determined teen with a love for science and art to launching her thriving practice straight out of training.

In this heartfelt and empowering conversation, Michelle and Stephanie explore what it really takes to build a business from scratch, redefine success as a mom and CEO, and navigate the often-taboo realms of money, medicine, and self-image. Stephanie opens up about her financial education growing up (shoutout to her dad’s money wisdom!), the lessons she learned starting a practice with no financial training, and why confidence—whether through stilettos or surgery—is key to showing up fully in life.

Whether you're a healthcare entrepreneur, career-driven mom, or just someone figuring out how to feel confident in your own skin, this episode is packed with laughter, realness, and plenty of mic-drop moments. Topics we cover:
  • Why Stephanie chose plastic surgery—and what makes her practice different
  • The power of aesthetics in building confidence and reclaiming identity
  • How her father shaped her relationship with money (yes, dividends at 15!)
  • Starting a business as a young doctor in a male-dominated field
  • Raising financially literate kids and leading by example
✨ Plus: What it’s like seeing yourself on a billboard… and how stilettos became a symbol of grit.
