What does it really take to go from making money to mastering it?
In this episode of the Women Growing Wealth Podcast, Tamar Hermes sits down with Jane Mukami — born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, and now the founder of a seven-figure fitness and nutrition business.

Jane had everything she thought defined success: income, impact, and independence. But her money wasn’t working for her — she was overpaying in taxes, letting cash sit idle, and still feeling trapped.

That’s when she learned how to take control of her finances, calculate her Enough Number, and create true financial freedom and mastery — with strategy, mentorship, and clarity.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make your money work as hard as you do, this episode gives you the exact steps to get there.

🎯 What You’ll Learn

• How to turn discipline into wealth and freedom
• The moment Jane realized income isn’t the same as independence
• The smart money and tax strategies that changed her future
• How mentorship accelerates results and builds clarity
• How to calculate your Enough Number and use it to make powerful decisions

🔥 Key Moments

• 00:02:15 – Jane’s journey from Nairobi, Kenya, to seven-figure entrepreneur
• 00:07:40 – The “buy a car” moment that changed her perspective on taxes
• 00:16:10 – How mentorship and strategy collapsed her freedom timeline
• 00:25:30 – The mindset shift from saving to investing
• 00:33:00 – What financial mastery really looks like once you arrive

Most women know how to make money — but few are taught how to master it.
Jane’s story is proof that financial freedom isn’t about working harder or earning more; it’s about using strategy, mentorship, and intention to build a life you love.

Takeaway

You don’t need to overhaul your life to create freedom — you just need a plan that aligns your money with your goals.
Learn from Jane’s journey, take the steps, and get to financial freedom and mastery the Women’s Way.

Dena shares how mindset mastery, self-worth, and redefining your relationship with money can transform not only your business but your entire life. We talk about breaking through financial limits, building legacy-level impact, and how to go from “good” to truly great.

This conversation will remind you that no matter how much you’ve already achieved, there’s always another level of growth and giving waiting for you.

What You’ll Learn

✅ Why self-worth directly affects how much wealth you allow in
✅ How to identify your “smallness narratives” and replace them with greatness

Inflation is stealing your money every single day, but the wealthy have figured out how to make rising costs work for them instead of against them.

In this episode of Women Growing Wealth, I’m breaking down the three simple facts about beating inflation that women tend to overcomplicate, plus the exact strategies you can start using this week to protect and grow your wealth.
