S2 Ep8 - Women & Money: How to Build Wealth With Self-Worth

·40 min·2 clips

Tamar Hermes says a million-dollar company does not equal a million-dollar net worth.

1. The Knowing Podcast episode centers on women, money, and the difference between business money and personal money. 2. Christine Marie hosts the conversation with Tamar Hermes, who lives in Austin, Texas, and says she spends her days supporting women growing wealth. 3. The core question is how women can build wealth with self-worth by understanding what money is doing and what they want it to do. 4. Christine says the podcast rarely covers financials because the topic is personal, trust takes time, and many people are not comfortable with money conversations. 5. Tamar says money in U.S. culture equals value, even if it is not the whole of a person’s value, and she connects that belief to safety and choice. 6. She describes her own life as an open nester with a husband, a terrier, and grown children, and she says her focus on wealth changed with her season of life. 7. Christine and Tamar discuss how priorities can shift by week, month, quarter, or year, and Tamar says women need to know their needs, wants, and priorities. 8. Tamar says the investment rooms she has been in were heavily male dominated, and she found that women need conversation, time, and core-level clarity before bold money moves. 9. She says her work includes strategy, opportunities, ideas, risk tolerance, and a deeper conversation about what women really want and need. 10. Tamar defines “drop in” as getting quiet, turning off stimulation, sitting in a garden or bedroom, and taking deep breaths with your eyes closed. 11. She says people should see themselves with love, acceptance, and grace for the things they did, did not do, wish they had done, and still want to do. 12. Tamar connects that practice to financial stress, saying money decisions are intense now and people need a way to return to themselves. 13. Christine references Kamal Ravikant and his book on self-love to show that loving yourself can include accepting the parts you do not like. 14. Tamar says financial knowledge matters because some self-criticism comes from not understanding the numbers, and knowledge can create power. 15. She says a wealth activation session helps women identify what is true, what opportunities exist, and what next move fits their finances. 16. Tamar notes that the market goes up and down, and she gives Bitcoin at 98 as a client example of how timing and perspective matter. 17. The tone is conversational and coaching-oriented, with Christine pressing for clarification and Tamar answering with practical examples. 18. The format is an interview with reflective pauses, client stories, and concrete steps such as QuickBooks, P&Ls, and twice-monthly money reviews. 19. Women founders, investors, and ambitious moms who want clearer money habits would likely value this episode. 20. Listeners who want abstract theory without personal finance detail may skip it.

As heard by us

A plainspoken money conversation about separating funds, reading the numbers, and making clearer choices.
