Have you ever felt ready to walk away from something you’ve loved, then wondered whether there’s another way forward? Perhaps the work still matters to you, but the way you’re doing it no longer reflects who you’ve become. This week, I’m joined by independent celebrant and celebrant trainer Michelle Taylor, who knows that feeling really well. When we first met at the Independent Celebrants’ Retreat, she was close to leaving celebrancy behind. Now, she’s finding a quieter, more deeply connected way forward through Oak and Thorn Ceremonies. After 30 years in policing, M...

Your business can be worth millions on paper while you pay yourself like an employee — and sit one lawsuit, one injury, or one shutdown away from starting over. In this episode of QueenMode, Ana sits down with financial advisor Michelle Taylor, founder of Women in Wealth and host of Talk Wealthy to Me, to unpack why a profitable business is not the same as personal wealth. They get into the difference between a lifestyle business and a sellable asset, why the business that can't run without you is also the business that's hardest to sell, and why ev...

Ep 196: Why Successful Women Make Money but Don’t Build Wealth — with Michelle Taylor Building a successful business and building personal wealth are not the same thing. In this episode of Dawn of a New Era: The Billionaire Brain Podcast , Dawn McGruer is joined by Michelle Taylor , founder of Women in Wealth , host of Talk Wealthy to Me , and a licensed wealth manager specialising in working with business owners. Michelle’s own journey into wealth management was anything but conventional. After changing career direction, moving to Italy and experiencing failed business ventures, she eventually discovered that those experiences had uniquely equipped her to help women understand money, investing and wealth creation. Dawn and Michelle explore one of the biggest financial challenges facing successful founders: how to turn business success into personal wealth . Michelle explains why your company should never be your entire retirement or wealth-building strategy, why founders need to start building assets outside their businesses from the beginning, and how to think differently about cash once your company becomes profitable. They also dive into the psychology behind money. Michelle shares how our personal money stories can shape the level of wealth we allow ourselves to create, while Dawn discusses wealth identity, founder conditioning and why increasing your income does not automatically change your financial behaviour. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why making more money doesn’t automatically mean you’re building wealth When founders should start investing outside their business Why Michelle believes you need an “and” mindset rather than an “or” mindset with business and personal wealth How to decide when to take money out of your business and deploy it elsewhere Why successful founders need to understand their operating cash “floor” How money stories and wealth identity can quietly limit financial growth Why passive income can completely change the way you think about financial freedom The growing interest in private credit, private equity and alternative investments Why women may be holding significantly more cash than they actually need The three wealth rules Michelle believes every female founder should consider Why wealthy people learn to treat money as a tool rather than an emotional decision How compounding can transform both your finances and your behaviour Why talking openly about money may be one of the simplest ways to improve your financial education Michelle also shares the uncomfortable moment that changed her relationship with money forever: returning from Italy at 26 and discovering she didn’t have enough money available to buy a $4 magazine. That experience became one of the catalysts behind the work she does today helping women create their own wealth journeys and build generational wealth. Her final message is simple: talk about money . Ask questions. Talk to your friends. Find out what other people are learning, investing in and doing with their money. You don’t know what you don’t know — and one conversation could change the financial trajectory of more than one woman.

Key Quote "Be comfortable with what your skills are, what your strength is and get somebody to tell you what they think they are. Because sometimes you won't know what they are. Or they're things that you think you're not very good at. Someone's going to tell you you're amazing at. So, I think asking for feedback and Dave's probably been great in that. He's probably made me do different changes in my career that I didn't even know I wanted to do." Michelle Taylor Quotes “So okay, have we got this right? So, our strategies, we need to be visible, we need to be responsive, and we need to execute. It's really simple. But what we've done is we're not just saying that we've got actions behind each of those headings, right? So, for us, what does visibility really look like? What does it mean? So, for us, is that face to face?” Michelle Taylor “It's all great having a strategy, but we've got really clear actions that we measure, and we monitor.” Michelle Taylor “Just get comfortable with yourself, right? Knowing who you are, being really self-aware, getting comfortable who it is, and just turn up and be that person every day. And don't let anybody say you need to be somebody else.” Michelle Taylor “So being brave, being yourself, being authentic, asking for help, having a network and. Having a conversation. I think we have a part to play in making this, everybody know this could be a fantastic career. And I will literally speak to any women who wants to have a chat with me about how I did it, how I can help them.” Michelle Taylor Resources: https://connect.avivab2b.co.uk/broker/ About the Guest Michelle Taylor is the Director of Strategic Accounts at Aviva, one of the UK's largest insurance companies.
