About the Speaker
Tania P. Brown, CFP® is a Job Exit Strategist™ and founder of The Confident Quitter's Collective™. Her job is literally to help you quit yours.
She comes to this work from an unlikely path — U.S. Army Staff Sergeant, 20-year corporate financial services executive, and former VP of Coaching Strategy — which means she knows how to lead under pressure, how the corporate machine runs, and exactly what it costs a professional financially when they decide they’re done with both.
Her own exit was triggered by what she calls "the performance review from hell." She planned her escape for two years, then watched the universe throw everything at her the moment she quit — a burst pipe, two unexpected surgeries, a dead car. Her plan held. She walked away with zero dollars of new debt. Zero.
That stress test became her method. Today, she helps professionals 40+ answer the question they're afraid to ask — "Can I really afford to do this?" — and build a financial roadmap to go solo from exactly where they are, whether they're starting with $1,000 or $100,000.
Her work has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg, MarketWatch, USA Today, and Business Insider.
