The Financial Advice Every Woman Should Hear Before 40 (or Like, Yesterday)

Think you’re building wealth just because your business is making money?

Spoiler alert: You might just be broke in disguise.

In this episode of Did She REALLY Say That?!, we talk with Amanda Taylor—real estate investor, Gen X firecracker, and passionate wealth educator—who breaks down what most women in business get dead wrong about money, investing, and long-term security.

From managing millions for others to realizing she had no 401K (or safety net) after a 22-year marriage ended, Amanda had a financial wake-up call that turned into a mission: help women stop relying on traditional systems not built for us.

✨ This episode will have you saying:

-- “Wait, I can borrow against my life insurance and still earn interest?”

-- “Did she really say women weren’t allowed credit cards until 1974?!”

-- “How do I make my money work while I sleep?”

Whether you’re scared of investing, sick of chasing cash, or just ready to stop Googling "WTF is a secured note?”—this is your starting point.
