S3 Ep26 It’s Not Just About the Money: Redefining Financial Freedom

What is it isn't really about the money but more about creating a life you don’t need to escape from?

In this episode, Angela talks with Linda Ta Yonemoto, founder of Good For You Money, about what it really means to build wealth on your own terms. Linda shares her story of growing up as a child of refugees, navigating a high-pressure career in tech and digital strategy, and ultimately choosing a path aligned with her values. Together they explore how our relationship with money shapes our identity, why high earners can still feel trapped, and how to design a life that’s sustainable, not just financially but emotionally.

Themes:

• Financial independence beyond FIRE

• Values-based wealth and time freedom

• Identity, status, and the cost of over adaptation

• Breaking inherited success scripts

• Redefining growth outside the corporate path

Whether you’re leading a company or leading your own reinvention, this is an invitation to rethink what you’re really working for.
