Building Wealth While Breaking Systems with Kelly Resendez, President of Minerva

Kelly Resendez is a force of nature in the world of women's leadership and wealth building. As President of Minerva, founder of GoBundance Women, and former executive at GoodLeap (a multi-billion dollar fintech company), Kelly has spent her career not just climbing ladders—but building entirely new structures for women to thrive.

In this powerful conversation, Kelly takes us from her entrepreneurial upbringing in Northern California to earning close to a million dollars by age 25, through her awakening after her mother's dementia diagnosis, and into her current mission: fixing broken systems that hold women back. You'll hear how she transformed from a "significance-aholic" chasing external validation into a conscious leader who sees money as energy and a tool for impact.

This episode is a masterclass in scaling without sacrifice, building community over loneliness, and understanding that investing in women's wellbeing isn't just good for women—it's good for families, communities, and the world.

Key Topics:

1. How growing up with entrepreneurial parents shaped Kelly's abundant mindset and fierce work ethic
2. Earning close to $1M by age 25—and why worldly success didn't equal inner fulfillment
3. The awakening that shifted money from a measure of worth to a tool for impact
4. Overcoming the "fear of numbers" that blocks most people from true wealth building
5. Creating your own job description as the secret to unlocking what's next
6. Moving from self-made success to community-driven growth through GoBundance Women
7. The investment criteria Kelly uses: founder energy + world positive impact
8. Why hormone replacement therapy is about longevity, not just symptom management.
