Who Stole Her Purse?
What if money feels hard not because you're bad with it, but because no one ever taught you the rules?
In this episode, Dr. Tonika Bruce explores why so many hardworking women still feel financially stuck, even when they're earning well. She breaks down the real difference between income and ownership, and unpacks the quiet lessons many women grew up with: stay careful, don't ask for too much, don't talk about money. Dr. Tonika shares her own story of chasing more degrees and more responsibility, only to realize that busy isn't the same as free.
This episode challenges one of the most common beliefs women inherit about money and reframes it: no one stole your potential, but many women were never taught the rules of the game. It closes with three questions designed to shift how you see your own income, your own experience, and your own next step toward ownership.
