About this episode

Kristen Wonch discusses common investing mistakes made by women and the phases of wealth they experience.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful clip from my masterclass “The $10M Wealth Gap: 5 Investing Mistakes Even Smart Women Make.” I break down the three phases of wealth every woman moves through, the identity shift required to become a powerful investor, and the surprising math behind why a $1M portfolio can create far more freedom than a $1M business. You’ll also hear two of the biggest investing mistakes that quietly bleed portfolios dry, and why even smart, high-earning women miss them.
