Hilary Hendershot | From Debt to Multi-Millions

🎙️ Episode Overview:

What if the only thing standing between you and multi-million-dollar wealth is your mindset about money?

In this empowering episode, Tina Sue sits down with financial expert and podcast host Hilary Hendershott, who went from financial crisis—unable to buy gas for her BMW—to building an eight-figure business and net worth.

Hilary shares her raw money story, the psychology that kept her broke, and the mindset shifts that allowed her to build lasting wealth. She breaks down the truth about investing, diversification, private equity, and why the stock market is the greatest wealth generator in history—especially for women ready to claim their financial power.

This episode is packed with both heart and strategy—and proves that no matter your past, your financial future can be abundant.

🔥 What You'll Learn:

  • Why money mindset shapes your financial reality more than math does.
  • The three “buckets” of investors and how to grow in each.
  • How Hilary went from debt and foreclosure to multi-millions.
  • The truth about the stock market (beyond fear-driven media headlines).
  • Why diversification is the golden rule of investing.
  • How liquidity, costs, and taxes impact your investment returns.
  • The difference between passive income myths (like real estate) vs. true passive investing.
  • Why building wealth is really about freedom, confidence, and authoring your life.

🧠 Notable Quotes:

"No matter how money has gone for you in the past, you can have an abundance of it in your future." – Hilary Hendershott

"Your mindset and your behaviors around money will always determine your results." – Hilary Hendershott

"Wealth isn’t about a number—it’s about freedom, autonomy, and living the life you choose." – Tina Sue

🎯 Actionable Takeaways:

  • Audit Your Money Beliefs: Ask yourself—what stories from childhood still drive your money behaviors today?
  • Start Diversifying Now: Even a small contribution to an index fund creates future freedom.
  • Don’t Fear Market Fluctuations: Remember, dips are part of long-term growth—just like in business.
  • Know Your Liquidity Needs: Use liquid investments (like index funds) for flexibility and layer private equity or real estate only when your foundation is strong.
