Tonia loves being on the radio because it allows her the ability to inform listeners about the world of finance. Tonia will tell you that finances is not a sexy topic or one that most people enjoy talking about. It’s a heavy topic but finances encompass our whole world and every aspect of our lives. So, each week on her show, she will discuss topics such as spending plans, credit, trauma, housing, health & wellness, debt, saving, and predatory lending; just to name a few. She endeavors to inspire and empower listeners to move towards changing their financial circumstances. It IS her ultimate belief that people have the right, ability and responsibility to change their lives emotionally and financially.
