Biggest Gainer - Kathryn Lovewell shares her story!
Once upon a time, there was Kathryn Lovewell, a cool teacher and mom of three awesome boys.
She taught people to be kind to themselves and deal with that annoying inner critic. She just got married to Lovely Liz after being together for almost two decades. Life was good, but money troubles were lurking.
Kathryn and Liz had to sell their house because they couldn't keep up without getting lodgers. Kathryn had health issues, and most of her cash was going into trying to get better. The whole money situation was a real headache. They started with nothing, got a mortgage, and had a home for the boys, but the money struggle was real.
Go here to watch Kathryn's inspiring story.
Kathryn was a bit lost in the business world where Liz pushed her to keep going, but she felt like just a teacher and had a hard time putting a price on her therapeutic work. She finally started to value herself when she worked in Harley Street, but the struggle was ongoing. Kathryn's business was all about making an impact, not income.
The turning point came when Liz's dad got seriously sick. Liz had to go to New Zealand, and Kathryn felt helpless. She promised herself that when Liz came back, she'd pop the question. They decided, "Why wait?" and got engaged during COVID, shifting their in-person programs online. Silver lining, right?
Having lodgers during COVID was tough, and Kathryn and Liz couldn't catch a break when trying to move house, but Kathryn received a sign—they weren't meant to move. That's when she stumbled upon The Wealth Chef and entered a new chapter.
Kathryn had to face her shame, fear, and all that jazz around money. The Wealth Chef and Ann, became her money guru, helping her uncouple self-worth from net worth. Kathryn got her hands dirty with spreadsheets, felt self-empowered, and started believing she could make money in a way she never thought possible.
The big shift was from surviving to having a grand vision. Kathryn learned about index trackers and saw herself talking to investors. The Wealth Chef showed her that a juicy life with financial success was totally doable. With newfound confidence, Kathryn could balance impact and income, and she was beyond grateful for the whole life-changing journey.
So, there you have it, Kathryn Lovewell's story—from struggles to self-empowerment, all thanks to The Wealth Chef's unique blend of heart-centered wisdom and financial magic. The next chapter is waiting, and Kathryn is ready to kick some financial monsters to the curb. The Wealth Chef, Ann Wilson, is the rare and magical mentor making dreams of financial transformation a reality for everyday folks like Kathryn.
