89: Becoming Financially Free with Penelope Jane Smith

Nata Salvatori

This episode isn’t just inspiring—it’s a game plan for getting your financial house in order. Nata sits down with money mentor Penelope Jane Smith, who went from being nearly financially free to losing everything in the 2008 crash—and rebuilt herself into a multi-millionaire and thought leader in women’s wealth.

They talk about what the financial world gets wrong about women, how to calculate your personal freedom number, and why passive income is not just possible—but necessary. If you’re overwhelmed by the idea of managing money, Penelope makes it approachable, actionable, and dare we say...fun? Plus, hear how a $50/month investment can become $1.5M over time (yes, really).

Penelope also introduces the Prosperity Coin, her community-driven reward system built on the Ethereum network, and shares how you can start creating passive income from scratch—no fund manager required.
