Why Making More Money Won’t Make You Wealthy EP25

What if making more money isn’t actually the answer to your money problems? In this episode of Agents of Abundance, Dawn Loding sits down with entrepreneur, real estate investor, author, and wealth coach Krisstina Wise to explore the difference between making money and actually building wealth. Krisstina shares how childhood scarcity shaped her relationship with money, how she became a highly successful real estate agent while privately struggling financially, and the wake-up call that forced her to learn the rules of money for herself. Together, Dawn and Krisstina explore Krisstina’s Make, Manage, Multiply framework, the impact of high-interest debt and lifestyle inflation, the shift from scarcity to abundance, and why creating a “Good Life Number” and “Freedom Number” can change the way you think about your financial future. Krisstina also shares how a life-threatening health crisis transformed her understanding of wealth and taught her that true abundance isn't simply about how much money you have. It's about having the health, freedom, relationships, and resources to live a life that actually feels good. If you're earning money but wondering why financial freedom still feels out of reach, this episode is for you.
