The Wealthy Practitioner

Stephanie Wignerstephaniewigner.com
Seven years ago, I was facing burnout as a new graduate, working in a job that undervalued me and drowning in student loan debt. I wondered how I would ever get ahead. Today, I own multiple clinics, manage several team members, invest in real estate and startup companies, and consult other practitioners on how to grow their own empires. The Wealthy Practitioner Podcast is an unfiltered show dedicated to pulling back the curtain on entrepreneurship, wealth building, motherhood, and more! Tune in every Tuesday as I share my real-life experiences with you, so you can not only learn from them but also have a laugh along the way!
