"Tonia's approach is to take the fear out of finance and to help you discover the joy (yes, the joy!) in balancing your books. I don't call her The Money Whisperer for nothing.
Mark Connolly, Spiritual Alchemist
In Permission to Be Rich, Tonia reminds us that power lies not with money itself (or how much of it we have) but with the person who holds it. While Tonia has had some amazing experiences which led to incredible insights, she breaks down her teachings into digestible, logical and enjoyable pieces for the rest of us! She is the guide and cheerleader I did not know I needed, but was so glad I had, on this money journey!
Gina Scarpa, Attorney and Executive Coach
A womans relationship to money and wealth is one of the most important pieces to our capacity to heal the world. Tonia takes all the lies weve been taught about money and alchemizes them into new ways of using, spending, and receiving wealth as women leaders. Read this book and give yourself - finally - permission to be rich.

A Message to My Reader
As we start this journey together, its important to me to communicate with you that all I am sharing, teaching and writing is not just a concept or something Im regurgitating from books Ive read. Everything Ive learned is because I was courageous enough to take the knowledge from books on money, abundance, wealth, and prosperity and put them into practice. What youre getting is the blueprint based on the daily actions and habits I created from my collective experiences of joy, pain, heartbreak, shame, excitement, bliss, guilt, success, vulnerability (and whatever other emotion there is!) so that the journey is easier for you, less confusing to digest, and to comfort you in knowing that youre not alone in your experiences with money. When you invite awareness into your life, you are choosing to release the emotions, thoughts, habits and beliefs that are no longer serving you. My intention is to teach you my money system so that you feel empowered when you approach money instead of feeling shame or being overly harsh with yourself. This is a process that took me seven years to create and will be known to you by the end of this book.
So, get ready for an adventure of play, discovery, vulnerability and transformation. Let me awaken you to the joy and freedom of life that doesnt cost a thing. Through storytelling, I share my own money pain and make unveiling the illusion of money fun. I reveal my money humility, and how I mastered flipping the script of my life into a divine comedy. I was put on this path to introduce you to a new money paradigm, to guide you towards a healthy and harmonious relationship with money. A perspective that connects money to being an expression of love and gratitude with an inner conviction that money is a tool and way for you to say thank you. By reading this book, you are activating a mindset of appreciation for the new commodities of this world: love, people, connection, health, touch, quality time, nature, wellbeing, kindness, laughter, happiness, joy, space and everything else that comes free but until now, youve overlooked it precisely because its free.
This book is for the money underdog. Financial equality begins with us empowering our minds to know, unequivocally, that we are entitled to the riches of this universe. In this book, Im going to provide you with a set of tools and technical guidance to help you master your daily finances. It starts with us taking control back from money and embracing an abundant mindset, then protecting that mindset like a ninja! The power of one is mighty, but when we join forces, the power of the masses is an unstoppable force. The mission is financial liberation. Im calling on all humans who want a richer soul life and for the money in their bank accounts to reflect their souls richness. Its time for a revolution. A money revolution, and all are welcome to join.
