80. What Women Need to Hear About Failure, Money, and Starting Over with Tonya Cox Turrell

In this episode of Talk Wealthy to Me, Michelle sits down with entrepreneur and Technology Match founder Tonya Cox Turrell for a conversation about reinvention, resilience, and what it really looks like to bet on yourself.After experiencing the collapse of a business, a failed partnership, and bankruptcy, Tonya made the kind of decision most people only talk about: she started over. What followed was the launch of a new company, a successful exit less than four years later, and a completely different relationship with money, risk, and entrepreneurship. But this conversation goes far beyond business strategy.Tonya shares what it was like growing up without financial literacy, how her parents shaped her relationship with work and independence, why she chose a very unconventional path for her children’s education, and what she believes women uniquely bring to leadership, especially in tech and AI.Michelle and Tonya also talk about:what failure taught her that success never couldthe mindset behind starting over after bankruptcywhy “security” is often an illusionhow to think about risk, reinvention, and entrepreneurship differentlythe role women need to play in tech, leadership, and the future of AIwhy Tonya’s biggest financial philosophy is simple: always bet on yourselfIf you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to pivot, too risky to start over, or too hard to build something bigger after a setback, this episode is your reminder that your story is not over.Connect with Tonya:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyacoxturrell/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyaturrell/Website: https://technologymatch.com/Ready to stop piecing your financial life together and finally see the full picture? ✨The Financial Blueprint was designed for the woman who’s built something meaningful… but knows there’s another level of clarity, strategy, and intentional wealth waiting for her.
