Ep 022 | KRISTEN MAYER “Reinvention is a mindset, not a moment”

In this episode, I sit down with Kristen Mayer, CEO & Founder of KMI Wealth, investor, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for women in finance. We dive into Kristen’s journey of reinvention, from her early roots in journalism and global education, to building a life centered around family and entrepreneurship, to ultimately stepping into the financial services world and creating her own firm with purpose. Kristen shares how her experiences shaped her belief that wealth is more than money, it’s freedom, alignment, and the ability to design life on your own terms. We talk about what it really looks like to build something from the ground up, how women can step into financial confidence, and why changing the narrative around money is one of the most powerful ways to impact future generations. If you’re ready to think differently about wealth, step into your power, and realize it’s never too late to create your next chapter… this one’s for you. Thank you to our sponsor, Tahoe Nevada Love!
