Are you struggling to find balance between your financial success and personal well-being?
In this episode, I opened up about my journey from humble beginnings in a trailer home to becoming a real estate mogul and financial educator. Growing up in a challenging environment with alcoholic parents instilled in me a fierce determination to change my circumstances, which ultimately fueled my entrepreneurial spirit.
During our discussion, I emphasized the importance of redefining success and the dangers of constantly chasing external validation. I shared how a life-threatening health crisis in 2013 became a wake-up call, prompting me to radically change my approach to business and life. This experience led to the creation of my brand, Wealthy Wellthy, which focuses on empowering women to achieve both financial success and overall well-being.
Lisa, Precious, and I explored the crucial balance between health and wealth, with me stressing that our bodies are our number one asset. I shared practical advice on how to invest in ourselves, both financially and in terms of wellness, to create a truly fulfilling life.
We also delved into the concept of “enough” in terms of financial goals, and I provided a simple formula to help determine financial security. I emphasized the importance of routine, accountability, and self-investment in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
If you’ve ever wondered how to break free from the cycle of constant striving, redefine your relationship with money, or achieve true balance between financial success and personal well-being, then this episode is for you.

MYTH BUSTED: “Chasing external success and money will lead to fulfillment and happiness.”
Krisstina Wise, a successful entrepreneur who built multiple seven-figure businesses, discovered that relentlessly pursuing external validation and financial success left her unfulfilled and physically broken. Despite achieving remarkable business milestones, she found herself constantly moving the goalposts, never feeling successful enough. This pursuit led to a stress-induced health crisis that forced her to reevaluate her priorities.
The breakthrough came when Krisstina realized that true wealth encompasses more than just financial success. She shares, “Money’s not something to chase. Success isn’t something that’s going to make you happy. It’s not going to fulfill you.” Instead, she advocates for a holistic approach to wealth, which she calls “Wealthy Wellthy” – balancing financial prosperity with emotional, psychological, spiritual, relational, and physical well-being.
Krisstina’s journey reveals that sustainable success and fulfillment come from aligning one’s business and life around personal values, investing in self-care, and creating impact rather than chasing external metrics. As she puts it, “Money’s a byproduct of value creation and helping people, but it comes from a different place.” The key insight? True wealth isn’t about accumulating money or accolades, but about designing a life that prioritizes overall well-being and purposeful living.
