Wealthy Wellthy Podcast

Most of us are unprepared for the "sandwich generation" squeeze: caring for aging parents while supporting adult kids — all while trying to build our own wealth and protect our health.

In this conversation, Krisstina Wise sits down with Ron Macklin to unpack the real challenges of longevity, wealth, and family across three generations. Together, they discuss:

• Matching health span with life span so you can live long and well

• What to do when aging parents lose autonomy — without losing yourself

• The financial burden of caring for parents and how to plan ahead

• How to support adult children without enabling them

• Preparing now so you don't become a burden later

This is the conversation most families avoid — but it's one you can't afford to ignore.

I recently sat down with Trey Kaufmann for a candid conversation on the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast. Trey is the host of The Mosaic Life Podcast, and our discussion centers around living a life of fulfillment without getting caught up in the distractions that often clutter our lives.

Trey opens up about his personal journey, sharing how he's been able to shift his focus from chasing success for the sake of it to embracing a more intentional way of living. He talks about the importance of understanding what truly matters and how to remove the unnecessary fluff that we often get caught up in.

We touch on several practical ways to live with purpose and intention, including the value of authentic relationships and why it's so important to define success on your own terms. Trey's approach is thoughtful, practical, and deeply personal, and I believe there are many insights here that you might find helpful.

If you're someone who's trying to balance a busy life or feel like you're missing something despite your accomplishments, I think you'll resonate with this conversation. It's about stripping away the noise and focusing on what truly fulfills us.

Today my good friend Dino Watt interviews me about what I've learned in decades of working as and with entrepreneurs. We talk candidly about a trap that many people fall into and that can destroy their lives…like it did mine. 

That trap is the belief that earning more money will fix your financial problems. I share how this idea almost killed me. I tell Dino that "It's not how much money we make that matters; it's what we do with it that makes the difference." I learned this lesson the hard way—despite earning substantial income, I found myself in financial distress because I wasn't focused on building wealth, only on keeping up with an expensive lifestyle.

I recently had a deeply insightful conversation with Dawn Apuan on the Wealthy Wellthy Podcast. Dawn's story will resonate with anyone who's ever felt stuck in their financial situation, wondering if there's a way out.

Dawn was living on $2,700 a month as a pastor, barely making ends meet for her family of six. After the birth of her daughter, she realized she couldn't continue in the same situation, emotionally or financially. This led her to explore ways to work from home, and in an unexpected twist, she found a path to entrepreneurship.

Her journey started with a small investment in an online course and a lot of self-teaching. In a few short months, Dawn went from making $3,000 in eight months to $35,000 by the end of the year. But what truly transformed her was the shift in her mindset—from scarcity to abundance. It was no longer about "just getting by," but about learning new skills and expanding her belief in what was possible.

In our conversation, Dawn talks candidly about the mental shifts she had to make, from overcoming limiting beliefs around money to learning how to value herself and her work. She shares how, despite her fears and doubts, she invested in herself and kept pushing forward—proving that anyone can rewrite their financial story with the right mindset and effort.
