KRISSTINA WISE: 'WELLTH' AND MONEY
As New Year’s Eve turned to 2021, for the first time in a while I felt a real energy and excitement for a big period of growth. How about you? Are there things you are looking forward to? And speaking of, how are you doing on those New Year’s resolutions?
Been working out at the gym to lose that extra 20 you’re carrying? Started that side hustle? Mended those fraught relationships with the Uncle who sits on the other side of the political fence. Mastered your finances and gotten out of debt? Yep, I thought so.
Today’s guest, Krisstina Wise is a self-made multi-millionaire who has made it her life’s work to master money. After nearly losing her life in 2013 to catastrophic illness and spending almost half a million dollars to recover, Krisstina got out of her bed and made it her mission to inspire others to build extraordinary wealth and optimal health.
Rising from a challenging childhood where she and her brother were essentially abandoned by her parents when she was 10, Krisstina rose to become one of the 100 Most influential Real Estate leaders in the country and has been recognized by Apple and Evernote for her creative leadership with emerging technologies.
She is a go-to financial coach, author of Falling For Money, a top rated best selling “romance novel for your bank account", host of the Wealthy Wellthy podcast, and leader of Sovereignty Academy, an online money school that helps people get their arms around all things money for your household and your business.
In our conversation, Krisstina opens the veil into her life from her childhood living with two alcoholic parents in a mobile home, going to school and being bullied for her life circumstances to the woman who grew into an overachieving Realtor with the material trappings of success: multiple cars with prestige nameplates, fancy homes and an extravagant lifestyle.
It all came crashing down in 2013 when she was diagnosed with metal poisoning and a hormonal system that was shutting down. Her efforts to recover took her far and wide inside and outside of traditional and alternative medicine and half a million dollars to get well again. She emerged, like a phoenix, with a completely different perspective on what’s truly important in life. “I was in a very dark place,” she says.
We cover how challenge builds character, how learning to love money is not idolizing currency itself but loving in the universal sense, how our spiritual lives connect our finances and our health, and how we can make deliberate choices to transform our lives around money and in every other aspect as well.
Krisstina imparts wisdom for the soul, This is an important episode if you have mastering your life and your finances on your 2021 radar. Besides being a PhD in managing money, creating a business and teaching others, Krisstina is warm and open .
