Building Wealth Intentionally: Real Estate, Tax Savings & Financial Freedom Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

What does building wealth look like when the ultimate goal isn’t simply to have more, but to create a life you actually have time to enjoy?

Tonia Burns went from growing up in poverty and experiencing homelessness to becoming a successful corporate executive, business owner, and real estate investor. In this episode, she shares how that journey shaped her drive to build wealth differently, and why leaving corporate opened the door to new opportunities in real estate, tax strategy, and financial freedom.

Tonia also breaks down how she started investing in properties, learned to evaluate deals for cash flow, used strategies like cost segregation, and eventually qualified as a real estate professional. Along the way, she went from consistently owing taxes to receiving $35,000 back.

But her biggest shift was realizing that more isn’t always better. Instead of chasing an arbitrary goal of owning more properties, Tonia now focuses on building wealth intentionally with the goal of creating more time for family, health, travel, and the life she actually wants.

What Do You Actually Want? Reclaiming Pleasure, Desire & Self-Trust with Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

What do you actually want?

It sounds like a simple question, but for so many women, it’s surprisingly difficult to answer.

In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with her dear friend and pleasure coach Dr. Kimberly Rose Pendleton for a conversation about pleasure, desire, relationships, money, and giving yourself permission to create a life that actually feels good.

Dr. Kim shares her incredible journey from growing up in a high-control religious environment and waiting until marriage to have sex, to realizing the life she had built wasn’t actually what she wanted. She opens up about her first marriage, the affair that became an unexpected turning point, leaving her church community, and ultimately building an entirely new relationship with herself, her desires, and pleasure.

She also shares how her own pleasure journey unexpectedly became a business, why learning to generate pleasure for yourself can transform your relationships, and what happens when you surround yourself with women who give you permission to want more.

In this episode, we talk about:

Dr. Kim’s journey from evangelical Christianity to becoming a pleasure coach
Waiting until marriage to have sex and what happened afterward
The affair that became a catalyst for completely changing her life
Why leaving behind old identities can feel incredibly lonely
How religious and cultural conditioning can disconnect women from desire
Why pleasure is about so much more than sex
Shopping, champagne, luxury, food, and other forms of everyday pleasure
The connection between pleasure, wealth, freedom, and having it all
Why women are taught not to be “high maintenance”
Learning to ask for exactly what you want without apologizing
How to figure out what you genuinely like after years of ignoring yourself
Why generating your own pleasure can improve your relationships
Building friendships with women who celebrate rather than compete with you
How Dr. Kim turned her personal transformation into a pleasure-coaching business

Show notes

What if the next level of your business isn’t about doing more but learning how to be held?

In this episode of Life-Changing Money, Barbara is joined by her client and friend Jenna Brown for a conversation from Greece about intuition, entrepreneurship, spirituality, and what it really means to build a business that supports your life.

Going from church leadership to building a spiritual coaching business
The near-death experience that completely changed her life
Leaving religion while maintaining her connection to God and spirituality

The Identity Shift Required for Your Next Level of Success with Mike Ganino Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

What happens when your business, income, and opportunities grow faster than your identity can keep up?

In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara sits down with storytelling and communication expert Mike Ganino from Greece to talk about what it really takes to become the person capable of holding your next level of success.

Mike believes that as entrepreneurs become more successful, one of the biggest challenges isn’t learning another marketing strategy. It’s letting go of the versions of ourselves we created to feel safe, accepted, or successful.

We talk about the difference between actually becoming wealthy and simply performing wealth, why so many entrepreneurs struggle to show up authentically online, and how the stories you tell can create an audience that doesn’t just follow you but feel deeply connected to you.

Because whether you’re speaking on a stage, recording a podcast, selling on Instagram, or sitting across from a potential client, you are the message.

Tune in to hear:

How moving to Europe changed Mike’s relationship with work, money, and slowing down
Why your identity has to evolve as your income and success grow
The difference between becoming successful and performing success
Why entrepreneurs often hide behind versions of themselves they think people want to see
How childhood conditioning can shape the way you communicate as an adult
Why the strongest personal brands are built by taking things off (not adding more tactics)
How to become more comfortable being seen on social media, podcasts, and stages
Why visibility is ultimately built through repetition and intentional practice
Mike’s journey from flight attendant and actor to restaurateur and storytelling coach
How he accidentally discovered he could get paid thousands of dollars to speak
Why storytelling is one of the most powerful skills an entrepreneur can develop
How to create emotional connection without oversharing
Why “winging it” isn’t always the flex entrepreneurs think it is
The difference between having 25 years of experience and repeating one year of experience 25 times
Why feedback and coaching accelerate your growth as a communicator
How to choose opportunities based on the bigger story you’re building
Why the right stories can help people see themselves in you—and ultimately want to work with you

How to Build the Capacity for More Money, Success & Impact Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

What does it really take to build multiple businesses, create serious wealth, and still have the capacity to enjoy the life you worked so hard for?

In this episode of Life Changing Money, Barbara is joined by Dr. Stephanie Wigner, chiropractor, entrepreneur, coach, and founder of The Wealthy Practitioner. Stephanie’s story is a powerful example of what can happen when you stop letting your circumstances define what’s possible for your life.

Growing up in a family impacted by addiction, Stephanie always knew she wanted something different. She didn’t have the full roadmap, but she was willing to keep taking the next step. Even when that meant enrolling in chiropractic school without fully knowing what she was getting herself into.

That decision eventually led to building five chiropractic clinics alongside her husband, growing a thriving coaching company, and helping thousands of entrepreneurs and practitioners expand their businesses, confidence, and capacity.

Stephanie shares how she and her husband navigated the uncertainty of COVID while running multiple practices, why they chose to double down when other businesses were shutting their doors, and how betting on themselves completely changed the trajectory of their lives.

Tune in to hear:

Stephanie’s journey from a difficult childhood to becoming a doctor and entrepreneur
How her grandfather shaped her work ethic, loyalty, and determination
Taking a $300K leap into chiropractic school without knowing exactly where it would lead
Building five chiropractic clinics with her husband
Why Stephanie and Kyle intentionally built separate businesses and brands
What happened when COVID hit while they were operating multiple practices
How refusing to operate from fear helped them double their businesses
The reality of growing businesses while raising a young family
Why their fourth clinic almost pushed them past their limits
The communication habits that keep their marriage and businesses strong
How Stephanie discovered her gift for coaching and helping people unlock their potential
The limiting beliefs that keep entrepreneurs from pursuing what they really want
Why your ability to grow is directly connected to your capacity to hold more
The difference between a season of expansion and a season of recalibration
Why slowing down can sometimes be harder than pushing forward
Learning to stop comparing your pace to what you see online
Stephanie’s goal of creating $1 million in annual passive income
Why wealth becomes less about accumulating money and more about increasing your impact
