33 | The Truth About Whole Life Insurance featuring Brock Fortner

Tamar Hermes — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:26:47 -0600

Most people think life insurance is something you buy and forget. In this episode, Tamar Hermes sits down with Brock Fortner, founder of StoneCentury Financial, to explain why sophisticated investors use cash value whole life insurance as a wealth-building tool—one that can store capital, provide liquidity, and support long-term compounding.

They break down the difference between term and whole life, how policy loans work, why structure matters, and where whole life fits inside a bigger wealth plan alongside real estate and investing.

In this episode, we cover:

Whole life vs term insurance (and why “buy term and invest the rest” misses key benefits for high earners)
How cash value works (simple breakdown)
How policy loans work and why borrowing “against” matters
Using whole life as a stable warehouse for cash
Why structure and expert guidance matter (avoiding mismatched products)
How families use life insurance for generational planning

31 | How to Audit Your Financial Advisor and Stop Leaking Wealth

Tamar Hermes — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 13:50:29 -0600

Many high earning women assume their financial advisor is doing what is best for them. But assumption is not a strategy. In this episode of Women Growing Wealth, Tamar walks through how to perform a clear and empowered financial audit so you actually know what is happening with your money.

This conversation is not about being skeptical or emotional. It is about asking the right questions, understanding your fees, and evaluating whether your investments are producing results that justify the cost. Tamar breaks down how fees quietly erode returns, why complexity often hides underperformance, and how wealthy women approach their financial team with clarity and standards.

You will learn how to read your statements, identify red flags, and evaluate performance using benchmarks instead of trust alone. Tamar also explains when a financial advisor adds real value, when they do not, and why real estate and tax strategy require more than traditional portfolio management.

This episode is a reminder that a wealthy woman does not leave her money on autopilot. She audits, upgrades, and chooses with intention.

In this episode you will learn
• Why most women do not actually know what they are paying their financial advisor
• How advisory fees impact real returns over time
• The key questions to ask your advisor in plain English
• How to spot red flags hidden behind complexity
• Why performance should be measured against clear benchmarks
• When a financial advisor is helpful and when they are not

30| Why Love and Wealth Are Built the Same Way with Love Coach Annie Lalla

Tamar Hermes — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 08:15:00 -0600

What if the biggest factor shaping your wealth isn’t strategy — but your relationships?

In this episode of Women Growing Wealth, Tamar Hermes explores the often-overlooked connection between emotional patterns and financial outcomes. Joined by renowned relationship expert Annie Lalla, this conversation reveals how women’s approaches to love, attachment, and safety quietly influence their capacity to earn, keep, and grow wealth.

Rather than asking whether women can have both love and money, this episode examines the real cost of unresolved relational patterns — from risk aversion and over-giving to self-abandonment and financial contraction.

This is a conversation about wealth capacity, not trade-offs. About safety, not sacrifice. And about building a life where emotional intimacy and financial power reinforce one another instead of competing.

In this episode, we explore:

The hidden ways relationships shape women’s financial decisions

How attachment and boundaries influence earning, investing, and risk

Why emotional safety is foundational to sustainable wealth

The cost of over-adapting in love — and how it shows up financially

How women unconsciously limit wealth to preserve connection

What it actually takes to expand capacity without burnout

This episode is an invitation to stop separating love from money — and start seeing wealth as something built from the inside out.

Ready to Build Wealth That Feels Safe?

True wealth starts with clarity. Know your Enough Number, understand how mindset, investments, and tax strategy work together, and build a financial life that supports both freedom and connection.

29 | Attention Is Capital: How Women Multiply Wealth by Shifting Their Energy [Inspired by Esther Hicks]

Tamar Hermes — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 08:15:00 -0600

A few weeks ago, Tamar sat in a packed Austin room listening to Esther Hicks share a line that changes everything:
You don’t get what you want. You get what you expect.

That truth cracked open the real reason so many high-earning women stay busy instead of wealthy: our attention gets pulled everywhere except toward the money that wants to grow.

In this episode of Women Growing Wealth, Tamar unpacks how attention works as a financial asset — not in a manifesting way, but in the grounded, repeatable way that builds long-term freedom. She explores why women give their wealth the leftovers, how emotional steadiness amplifies every decision, and how small weekly rituals create the conditions for real expansion.

You’ll also hear a powerful section on infrastructure — the part most women skip. Because wealth doesn’t grow inside chaos; it grows inside containers built to hold it. Tamar walks you through buckets, structure, liquidity, and the exact baseline every woman needs before she can compound anything.

This episode weaves Esther Hicks’ wisdom with real-world wealth strategy, inviting you to shift how you think, feel, and lead your financial life.

In this episode, you’ll learn

• Why your attention determines your financial trajectory
• How emotional steadiness leads to better money decisions
• What Esther Hicks’ teachings look like in real-life wealth strategy
• The weekly money ritual that creates deeper clarity
• How to redirect your mind from fear toward possibility
• Why internal safety amplifies wealth
• The infrastructure wealthy women build before they compound anything

This conversation is an invitation to stop giving your wealth the leftovers — and start giving it the leadership that builds financial freedom.

Dr. Rachel Gainsbrugh didn’t escape burnout, she built her way out of it.

Born in Haiti and raised in Miami, she earned her doctorate in pharmacy, but with it came over $500,000 in student loan debt and years of 80-hour workweeks. It wasn’t until she discovered short-term rentals that everything changed.

Rachel turned two luxury short-term rentals into a portfolio that replaced her full-time income, retired her husband at 46, and allowed her to step away from pharmacy at 41. Her method? Focus on fewer properties, higher profits, and smart systems that create freedom instead of more work.

Now, through her company Short Term Gems, Rachel is helping thousands of professionals especially women in healthcare to build financial independence through luxury within reach real estate investing. Her story is proof that you don’t need a hundred properties to change your life, you need strategy, confidence, and the courage to start.

How Rachel replaced her six-figure W2 income with just two properties
The tax advantages of short-term rentals (and how to offset W2 income legally)
How to find profitable rental markets using Rachel’s “CROW” method

24 | Save Thousands on Taxes: Three simple Moves for 2025

Tamar Hermes — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 08:15:00 -0600

Most women I meet are earning six and seven figures. They are running successful businesses, managing teams, or leading their industries, but still sending 30% or more straight to the IRS.

This episode will change that.

In this episode I break down three powerful, legal tax strategies wealthy women use to keep more of what they make and how you can start implementing them before the end of the year.

This isn’t about loopholes or shady accounting. It’s about learning to play by the same rules that the wealthy have been using for decades and understanding how the tax code is actually designed to reward you for contributing to the economy.

Every dollar you save is a dollar you can invest, compound, and use to build the freedom you deserve.

What You’ll Learn

✅ The first step to structure your business correctly for maximum savings
✅ How an S Corp can save you tens of thousands in self-employment tax
✅ The truth about real estate depreciation and why it’s a “double-duty” wealth builder
✅ How to use timing to your advantage and reduce your taxable income before December 31
✅ Why planning proactively (not reactively) changes everything
✅ The difference between earners and wealth builders — and how to become the latter

Key Takeaways

• The tax code isn’t designed to punish you, it’s a roadmap for rewards.
• An S Corp structure can immediately unlock major savings.
• Real estate and strategic assets create both income and deductions.
• The wealthy plan their tax strategies all year long, not just in April.
• Hope is not a tax strategy. Intentional action is.

Tamar Hermes — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:23:00 -0500

Do you actually know how much money is enough for your life? In this episode of Women Growing Wealth, I break down the Enough Number—the amount of invested capital that covers your lifestyle with passive income so you can stop chasing “more” for more’s sake.

We’ll talk about:
✅ How to price your real lifestyle (not a survival budget)
✅ The impact of investment returns on your Enough Number
✅ Why taxes and inflation change everything
✅ Why your number is a living number that grows with you

The best part? Most women are far closer to financial freedom than they think.
