A Path to Financial Independence with Tanessa Shears
She’s back! I loved talking with Tanessa so much in our last episode of the podcast, episode 254, that I had to have her back on a second time. In our second conversation, we deviated from Tanessa’s expertise in health and wellness to talk about another passion she has: financial independence.
In case you need a refresher or missed the last episode (go check it out because it is SO good), Tanessa is a health and wellness coach who specializes in working with entrepreneurs to eliminate brain fog and wake up well-rested so they can maintain consistent, stable energy throughout the day. She is also the host of the Becoming Limitless podcast, which I highly recommend.
However, as we learn in this episode, Tanessa’s business is no longer her primary source of income. A few years ago, Tanessa and her husband learned about an investment strategy based on the idea of financial independence, essentially, earning a living through passive income. I was so intrigued by this idea, and wanted to have Tanessa on the show to share her experience taking this route, and what it has meant for her and her family.
Just a note before we dive in. I loved talking with Tanessa about her journey to financial independence and am so grateful to her for her openness and willingness to share during our conversation. It really shows me what is possible if we're willing to think about our lives and just a slightly different way from what might be considered conventional.
But of course, neither Tanessa, nor I are financial professionals, so this is just sharing about Tanessa's experience. Please consult with a trusted expert before you make any big changes in how you approach and invest your own money.
In this episode, we discussed:
What it means to be financially independent (What is FIRe?)
The different approaches that people take to achieve this
How being financially independent plays into running a business
Tanessa’s advice for someone starting to explore this idea
How Tanessa’s life changed
And more
