Our financial DNA, just like our genetic DNA, is not set in stone but can be edited or modified entirely to change the path of our financial future. It is important to embrace how your financial DNA and money mindset were shaped. Learn from your family history how money and debt were treated, own your personal use of money, and then educate yourself for a better way. Dr. Tawanna O. Gilliard is an esteemed author, speaker, board-certified Obstetrician/ Gynecologist and Founder of Cornerstone of Wellness, LLC. She loves empowering and uplifting others to achieve financial, mental, and holistic wellness no matter their current circumstances. This passion comes from living through her own personal struggles and through financial crises. She truly has a desire to shed light on financial stability. Her desire is to help others to overcome or avoid similar struggles and crisis by being transparent and sharing her story. On the Other Side of Greatness: Lessons on the Journey from 6-Figure Debt to 7-figure Success, her debut book, offers a roadmap for overcoming financial challenges and serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration.
