In this episode of the Balancing Ambitions Podcast, Kim sits down with Angie Wisdom — ICF Master Certified Coach, author, and co-owner of a global alternative investment firm — to explore the powerful connection between values, self-trust, and creating a fulfilling life.
Angie shares her journey from starting in the financial industry at just 16 to discovering her true calling in coaching and personal development. Together, Kim and Angie unpack:
✅ Why most people spend more time planning a birthday party than planning their lives ✅ The importance of values as your compass for decision-making ✅ How language shapes your self-trust and mindset ✅ Shifting from achievement mode to actually living with presence ✅ Why fulfillment comes from impact, not performance ✅ How to cut the cord from expectations and live with freedom
This conversation is filled with real stories, practical wisdom, and reflective insights that parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking balance will find deeply valuable.
