Healing a Toxic Relationship with Money and Building a Media Empire

with Susan Hyatt

A smiling woman with blonde, curly hair wears a bright yellow sweater and a purple ring against a green backdrop.

Welcome!

I had the incredible opportunity to chat with the powerhouse life coach and mentor, Susan Hyatt about how she used the lessons she learned in the real estate business to build her prolific life coaching and media empire she has today.

 

We explore Susan’s childhood in Savannah, Georgia, where she learned to be frugal and work hard for the lifestyle she wanted for herself. You’ll get an intimate look at her early money stories and how she overcame a somewhat toxic relationship with money in her 20s — her “aha moment” to take some big leaps to create the life she wanted for herself and her family.

 

Susan shares her transition from a career in residential real estate to establishing herself as a life coach, along with the challenges and breakthroughs she encountered along the way. We discuss early investments in real estate, overcoming the fear of self-investment, and how she eventually built her media empire.

 

She also opens up about her vision for closing societal gaps for women and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations. From financial advice to personal growth, this conversation will inspire you to harness your inner power and create the financial future you desire.
