Summary
"A well-resourced woman will change the world. But first, she has to stop outsourcing her financial power."
This episode goes deep into the emotional discomfort that comes with money: how we manage it, avoid it, fear it, and finally take ownership of it.
Heather is joined by financial educator Kimberly Tara for an eye-opening conversation that covers everything from entrepreneurship and emotional labor to parenting, power dynamics in partnerships, and the toxic myth that women just "aren't money people."
Together they unravel the invisible stories that keep women stuck and explore the practical and emotional skills we need to truly experience wealth, safety, and freedom.
🩶 Why financial literacy is the missing piece in your personal power
🩶 The link between energy leaks and cash flow (and how to fix both)
🩶 How to teach kids about money while unlearning your own conditioning
This is the financial truth-telling session every emotionally uncomfortable woman needs.
About Kimberly
Kimberly Tara is a CPA, Certified Tax Coach and powerhouse entrepreneur who helps other profitable women entrepreneurs legally and ethically lower their tax bill and build long-term wealth. She believes making money is only half the battle - keeping it is where true financial freedom begins. Too many women entrepreneurs work tirelessly, only to hand over massive chunks of their income to the IRS because no one ever taught them a better way. Kimberly is changing that.
The Tara CPA Firm goes beyond tax prep - offering a year-round, strategic partnership that empowers women to make smart financial decisions, grow their businesses sustainably, and reclaim both their time and their wealth. Kimberly ensures that tax planning is no longer something that gets ignored until April. Her approach empowers women to understand their numbers, make smarter financial decisions, and turn their business into a wealth-building machine.
She believes that when women keep more of what they earn, they don't just grow their business - they change their lives, their families, and their futures. Her mission is simple: Success isn't just about numbers - it's about freedom, impact, and living life on your terms. Kimberly Tara is a wife, mom to four little kids, and lives in Charlotte, NC.
