Have you ever watched the news and thought… “What is really going on?” Because that was me when I saw that Chandler Moore was suing Maverick City for $40 Million.

Yes… forty million 👀

In today’s episode of Wisdom to Wealth, Shine and I cover details about the lawsuit. And whether you’re team Chandler, team Mav City, or somewhere in between, the lawsuit exposes something deeper about the business of ministry…

But it doesn’t stop there.

We also talk about the two Florida pastors arrested for running an illegal human labor camp, a story that made my jaw drop and reminded me why financial stewardship, accountability, and discernment matter more than ever.

And then… we get personal.

I share something school never prepared me for: Negotiating. Advocating. Understanding money. Protecting myself financially. Instead, I got taught to “be grateful for what you get,” stay quiet, and work the system… even when the system was underfunded, broken, and dangerous.

I opened up about the school shooting at my high school that led to its closing. And that experience taught me exactly how unprotected, under-resourced, and overlooked we really were. It shaped the way I see wealth today, as protection, access, options, and power.

This episode is honest, it’s fiery, and it’s packed with lessons most people never get to hear in real time.

If you’ve ever felt blindsided by the system, confused by money, or frustrated by the headlines… you’re going to feel seen in this one.

What if the only thing standing between you and a $250,000 business… is what you believe you deserve?

In this OG episode of Wisdom to Wealth, I sit down with Ann Marie, a powerhouse who walked away from burnout, corporate politics, and being undervalued… only to step into a business that grew to a quarter of a million dollars because she finally recognized her worth.

We unpack the mindset shift that most women are never taught, the internal work that led to external wealth, and the moment she realized she was done settling for “just enough.”

Now she’s teaching business owners how to leverage emotional intelligence in order to build wealth in their business and confidence in themselves.

If you’ve ever questioned your value, downplayed your gifts, or stayed loyal to a job that stopped being loyal to you… this episode will wake something up in you.

This is the blueprint for any woman who’s ready to stop surviving and start earning like she was called to.

Press play. Your next level is waiting.

One lie on my taxes almost cost me my business — and my peace.

They say ignorance is bliss, but when it comes to taxes? Ignorance is expensive.

In this explosive episode of Wisdom to Wealth, Star and her AI co-host Shine pull back the curtain on the real reason most entrepreneurs stay broke: they don’t understand taxes. Star shares how her crooked tax preparer lied on her returns for three years straight, how the IRS came knocking, and how fear nearly made her give up on business altogether.

But here’s the plot twist — that season of chaos became her financial awakening.

She learned that the wealthy don’t run from taxes — they master them. They know the game, the loopholes, and the laws that keep their money working for them.

Wanna know how you can pay less in taxes too — this episode will open your eyes.

Because rich people hire accountants. Broke people hire tax preparers. And there’s a difference.
