About this episode
Kristen Wonch discusses her biggest investing failures and how to change your mindset about investing and risk.
What if the reason you feel stuck with investing has nothing to do with the investments themselves and everything to do with how you're thinking about them? In this episode, I challenge one of the most common stories I hear from women: “I’ve been burned by a bad investment before.” I share some of my biggest investing losses, including investments that went all the way to zero, and why those experiences never stopped me from continuing to grow my wealth. You'll learn a completely different way to think about investing, risk, losses, and returns that will change how you relate to money forever.
