In this episode, financial coach Jacenta Wamala joins the show to share her refreshing approach to building wealth—one rooted in experimentation, mindset shifts, and the power of possibility.
Together, we explore how Jacenta encourages people to treat their finances like an experiment, seeing missteps not as failures but as data points that help guide the next step. She talks about the critical role of mindset, ownership, faith, and systems in moving from financial stress to financial strategy.
Throughout the episode, Jacenta also shares stories of her students’ successes, how she transitioned from therapist to entrepreneur, and how motherhood shapes her views on risk, investing, and legacy.
Whether you’re just getting started or reevaluating your current financial path, this conversation will inspire you to trust yourself, test new strategies, and stay resilient as you build the life you want.
