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:
