Women Inspiring Women
My name is Tonya Maness. I worked as a Social Worker for 20+ years. I still work with hospice as needed, but I am now a financial advisor. I made the move to help individuals and families prepare for retirement and healthcare needs that may come with aging. I feel that this is a need that many failt to plan for until the time is near, myself included. Throughout my years of working with and beside women, I have learned that we all need a place to go for help, support, and knowledge that we are not alone in our struggles. My hopes is that this page will give you the support that you need. I am an author that has recently published a book. Check out my book below.
"You don't have to be the woman that turns heads when you walk into a room.
Be the woman people run to for support and a smile.
Be the reason they are happy they walked into that room"
