    62. How to Build Wealth Without a Safety Net with Debora Mendonça
    Feb 26 2026
    Debora Mendonça didn’t come to the U.S. with a roadmap. She came with a suitcase, a dream, and the kind of determination you can’t teach. In this episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, Michelle sits down with Debora Mendonça, COO of The Glass Knife (a multi-million-dollar bakery and café brand in Winter Park), to unpack the money story behind her rise.

    They talk about what it really means to start from scratch in a new country, how her definition of success evolved from external validation to purpose and impact, and how learning to observe systems (not just chase money) changed everything. Debora shares the practical wealth moves she made along the way, including real estate, investing, diversification, and why balance is the real flex.

    If you’ve ever felt behind, unsure, or like you missed the “how to” memo, this conversation is your reminder: information creates freedom, and you’re allowed to build wealth on your terms.

    61. The Cost of Quiet: How to Talk About Money Without Starting a Fight with Colette Fehr
    Feb 19 2026
    What does silence really cost in a relationship? Not just emotionally, but financially too.

    In this episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, I’m joined by Colette Jane Fehr, licensed psychotherapist, couples therapist, and author of the newly released book The Cost of Quiet: How to Have the Hard Conversations that Create Secure, Lasting Love. Colette’s work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Oprah Daily, and she’s known for helping couples stop avoiding the conversations that actually build security.

    We talk about why money triggers run deeper than spreadsheets, how “small” annoyances turn into big disconnects, and the simple communication shifts that can transform the way you talk about spending, saving, and shared goals. If you’ve ever felt nervous to bring up money, needs, or resentment, this conversation will help you find your voice and protect both your love and your future.

  • 60. The Identity Shift That Changes Your Wealth with Morgan Jones

    60. The Identity Shift That Changes Your Wealth with Morgan Jones
    Feb 12 2026
    In this episode of Talk Wealthy To Me, Michelle Taylor sits down with Morgan Jones, former professional basketball player turned visionary speaker and founder of Athletes to Visionaries and The Vision Box. Morgan shares the real identity shift that happens when the game ends and the title you were known for disappears, and how that same transformation is required when women evolve into new seasons of leadership and wealth.

    Together, they unpack how identity impacts earning, why so many women feel guilt around wanting more, and how to connect money goals to a deeper purpose. Morgan also opens up about growing up seeing both extremes of wealth, what it taught her about stability, and how she is changing the narrative for her son through exposure, language, and a mindset of possibility.

    If you’re ready to redefine success on your own terms and build a wealth journey that feels aligned, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

  • 59. The Money Block Women Don’t Admit with Tracy Litt

    59. The Money Block Women Don’t Admit with Tracy Litt
    Feb 5 2026
    Michelle sits down with Tracy Litt—founder of The School of Becoming®, TEDx speaker, and author of Worthy Human—for a conversation that goes way beyond mindset and straight into identity, nervous system safety, and what it actually takes to receive more. Tracy shares how she went from being a single mom on food stamps to building a multi–seven–figure company, and why the next level of wealth (and success) isn’t about working harder—it’s about becoming the woman who can hold it.

    Together, Michelle and Tracy unpack the “ready” lie, why trauma isn’t what you think it is, and how women can stop outsourcing their power to fear, guilt, and old money stories. If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll do it when I’m ready,” felt weird about wanting more, or struggled to enjoy what you’ve built—this one will hit. In this episode, we cover:
    • Why “ready” is a decision, not a feeling
    • How identity (not effort) determines your next level
    • The real reason high-achieving women feel burnout and pressure
    • What money blocks actually look like for successful women
    • Receiving, support, and the nervous system’s role in wealth
    • Motherhood, truth, and letting go of other people’s expectations
    • Tracy’s “Choice Method” and how to let your future self lead

  • 58. 6 Habits of Women Who Are Never Broke (How Financially Secure Women Think)

    58. 6 Habits of Women Who Are Never Broke (How Financially Secure Women Think)
    Jan 29 2026
    Are you tired of feeling anxious about money — even when you’re “doing okay”? In this episode of Talk Wealthy to Me Podcast, Michelle Taylor breaks down the 6 simple habits of women who are never broke — and why financial security isn’t about luck, income level, or perfection.

    This episode was inspired by a viral conversation and answers the question so many women are quietly asking: What’s the real secret to never being broke? The answer is refreshingly simple — intentional habits that compound over time.

    Michelle walks you through the mindset shifts and practical systems that financially secure women use to stay calm, confident, and in control of their money — no matter what life throws their way.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • Why tracking your money creates power (not shame)
    • How paying yourself first changes your financial trajectory
    • Why wealthy women don’t “wing it” — they plan
    • The difference between saving money and building real wealth
    • How investing consistently closes the wealth gap
    • Why financial goals remove emotion and create clarity
    • How regular money check-ins create peace, not panic

    These habits aren’t flashy. They don’t require a finance degree. And you don’t need to master all six at once. You just need to start.

    If you want to be the woman who always lands on her feet — calm, steady, and financially secure — this episode is for you.
