In this episode of Empowered in Tech: Women in Tech Netherlands, producer and host Ilaria Severi sits down with Catalina Dobre and Lieke Muller—two self-taught investors from the WIT community—for a real and relatable conversation about building financial freedom from the ground up.
Catalina moved to the Netherlands with €250 and two part-time jobs just to survive. Lieke started investing over 15 years ago with zero formal knowledge, guided only by curiosity and library books. Today, they invest confidently across ETFs, stocks, real estate, and even crypto—proving that you don’t need to be wealthy or an expert to start.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
• How to start investing—even with a limited budget
• The emotional side of money, fear, and mindset shifts
• Smart ways to diversify based on your goals and risk tolerance
• Real lessons from investment wins—and mistakes
• Why financial health is just as important as physical health
✨ About Our Guests:
Catalina and Lieke have very different backgrounds—but one thing in common: they took ownership of their financial future and now help other women feel confident doing the same. Their stories are honest, practical, and incredibly empowering.
