Why Investing in Yourself Changes Everything
Episode Summary
What if the biggest thing standing between where you are and where you want to be is the way you’re leading yourself?
In this episode of The Building Wealth Podcast, Amanda Magho sits down with self-leadership coach Kerri LaRose for a candid and empowering conversation on what it truly means to lead yourself as a woman, entrepreneur, wife, and mother.
Kerri shares her journey from employee mindset to entrepreneurship, the lessons she learned through marriage, motherhood, personal development, and coaching, and why high-capacity women often carry too much while still feeling stuck. Together, Amanda and Kerri unpack self-leadership, intentional decision-making, emotional awareness, boundaries, investing in yourself, and learning how to stop overexplaining your choices.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure of your next step, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a refreshing reminder that transformation starts from within.
3 Key Takeaways
1. Self-leadership changes every area of your life.
Kerri believes that how we show up in one area of our lives is how we often show up everywhere. Whether it’s relationships, business, parenting, or personal growth, learning to trust your decisions, stop overexplaining yourself, and become intentional can create ripple effects across every part of life. Instead of waiting for external circumstances to change, real growth begins by looking inward first.
2. You don’t need to do everything alone, and you don’t need to do everything perfectly.
One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is the reminder that simplicity matters. From using simple systems in business to outsourcing areas that drain energy, Kerri shares why successful women must stop carrying everything alone. Building wealth, peace, and fulfillment often comes from reallocating your energy and focusing on what you do best.
3. Investing in yourself is often the breakthrough.
Kerri opens up about shifting from a scarcity-based money mindset to investing in coaching, mentorship, and personal growth. While personal development may feel uncomfortable at first, she explains why becoming the person you’re meant to be often requires betting on yourself before you see immediate results. Growth compounds personally, professionally, and financially.
