Description

Take Control of Your Investments—and Your Future.

Ever find yourself nodding and smiling in money conversations, thinking “totally, I know exactly what an index fund is…” when you really don’t? Same, girl. I’ve been there. And I’m here to help you go from polite smiles to total confidence.

If you’re a high-achieving woman ready to finally feel confident in your money, make smart investing moves, and turn your ambition into freedom, this show is for you!

I’m Katie, founder of Build Wealth with Katie. I’ve been investing for 10+ years, and now I work just 3 months a year, have traveled to every continent, and get to stay home with my baby—all thanks to the financial moves I made in my 20s and 30s. Aligning your finances with your big life goals is my JAM! and I’m here to help you do the same.

Each week, I break down investing basics, smart strategies, and money mindset, plus the hard stuff women face that no one talks about. You’ll learn how to match your portfolio with your ambition so your money actually works for you—leading to freedom, confidence, and peace of mind.
