Life Changing Money with Barbara Schreihans

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.Tune in to hear:Tonia’s journey from childhood poverty and homelessness to corporate successHow she worked her way into leadership at a young ageWhy earning a great W-2 income still wasn’t enough for the life she wantedMaking the transition from corporate executive to business ownerHow entrepreneurship opened up new tax-planning opportunitiesWhy Tonia decided to start investing in real estateLearning to evaluate deals based on actual cash flowUsing cost segregation as part of her tax strategyHow she went from paying taxes every year to receiving $35,000 backQualifying as a real estate professional after leaving corporateWhy documentation matters when implementing tax strategiesBuilding a real estate portfolio around your actual lifestyleWhy Tonia abandoned her goal of owning eight or nine propertiesThe difference between an impressive goal and an intentional oneCreating wealth that gives you more time for family, health, travel, and yourselfWhy you don’t have to “do all the things” to become successfulConnect with Tonia:https://www.instagram.com/tonia_b3/ How To Get Involved:Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.

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 coachWaiting until marriage to have sex and what happened afterwardThe affair that became a catalyst for completely changing her lifeWhy leaving behind old identities can feel incredibly lonelyHow religious and cultural conditioning can disconnect women from desireWhy pleasure is about so much more than sexShopping, champagne, luxury, food, and other forms of everyday pleasureThe connection between pleasure, wealth, freedom, and having it allWhy women are taught not to be “high maintenance”Learning to ask for exactly what you want without apologizingHow to figure out what you genuinely like after years of ignoring yourselfWhy generating your own pleasure can improve your relationshipsBuilding friendships with women who celebrate rather than compete with youHow Dr. Kim turned her personal transformation into a pleasure-coaching businessGiving yourself permission to create a completely different lifeConnect with Dr. Kim:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkimberlyrosependleton/ Website: https://www.kimberlyrosependleton.com/ How To Get Involved:Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.
