  • Tax Liens 101: How One $1,000 Investment Became $30,000 in Equity
    Apr 1 2026

    You know how to earn. Nobody taught you how to own.


    Most successful business owners have built themselves a very expensive job. Revenue is coming in. The calendar is full. And at the end of the year, there is very little to show for it outside of the business itself.


    In this episode, I sit down with tax strategist Cynthia, who found me the old-fashioned way: she left a real comment on an Alignable post in a sea of AI noise and automated DMs. What followed was one of those conversations where you realize you've been talking for an hour and you haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet.


    We talk tax liens: what they are, how they work, and why a pharmacist, a server, and a single mom with $1,000 to her name all used this strategy to build real equity. One of them drove to an auction in Arizona with her son in the car. She came home with three liens. Two of them didn't redeem. Those two were worth $15,000 each.

    That's not luck. That's a strategy most people have never heard of because nobody is teaching it.


    In this episode, we cover:

    The difference between a CPA and a tax strategist, and why that distinction is costing you money right now. The mechanics of tax liens: what you're actually buying, what the redemption period means, and how 16% interest works while you wait. Why the tax code is a reward system, not a punishment, and how to start reading it that way. The exit strategy framework Cynthia teaches every student before they spend a single dollar. Why "knowing your market" means reading county economic development plans, not just pulling comps.

  • You Were Taught to Earn. Nobody Taught You to Own.
    Mar 25 2026

    You have built a business that pays you. Maybe really well. But if everything you have is tied to everything you do, you have not built wealth yet. You have built a very good job. In this episode, Amanda Taylor gets honest about the gap nobody talks about: the difference between income and wealth, why high-earning women often have no net worth to show for it, and what it actually looks like to start owning something that works without you. This is not about having more money to invest. It is about making a decision with the money you already have. The asset landscape is bigger than anyone showed you. This episode is your entry point.

  • Your Nervous System Is Regulated. Your Revenue Isn't.
    Mar 18 2026

    You have done the work.

    The breathwork. The somatic sessions. The money story healing that went all the way back. You have regulated your nervous system and shown up better than ever. And on Monday morning you are still refreshing your bank account before your coffee is ready.

    Here is what nobody in the healing space is willing to say: the inner work is necessary and it is not sufficient. Healing your relationship with money is not the same as knowing how to manage it. And we have built an entire industry around the feeling of being stuck without teaching the mechanics of getting unstuck.

    This episode is the now what.

    Amanda Taylor breaks down why reactive cash flow is a leadership problem, not a money problem. She names the three structural places it is actually born, none of which are your mindset, and walks you through a four-question diagnostic you can run on your business today.


    In this episode:

    • Why you can do all the inner work and still be in the feast-famine cycle
    • The three structural causes of reactive income and where they actually come from
    • Why underpricing is a self-worth issue that survives the healing work
    • How your sales rhythm mirrors your emotional state and what to do about it
    • The four-question cash flow audit that reveals exactly where your foundation is cracking
    • What moving from Earn to Control actually looks like in a real business


    If you are brilliant, busy, deeply self-aware, and somehow still broke on paper, this episode was built for you. Send it to the woman in your life who has done all the work and is still waiting for the results.
