On this podcast episode, Tanya Taylor shares key tips on how to financially prepare for the unexpected based on her experience of going from achieving her financial goals to a sudden disability. With over two decades helping people improve their financial lives, Tanya (CPA,MBA) is on a mission to stop the cycle of poverty and build generational wealth. She is an award-winning author, speaker, and the founder and CEO of Grow Your Wealth, a financial education platform which empowers women to achieve confidence in managing their finances so that they can retire worry-free.
