how would you describe what you do?

We help women feel good about money. Wealthkind is a financial wellness company devoted to helping women build a calmer, clearer, more empowered relationship with their finances. Our work sits at the intersection of money mindset and tactical strategy — because most women don’t just need more information, they need knowledge, self-trust, and support.

We teach through live courses, workshops, community coaching, and weekly writing on Substack. Everything we create is designed to make money feel approachable and humane. We simplify the core skills — from building financial safety to investing for long-term wealth — while also tending to the deeper layers: money stories, nervous system overwhelm, avoidance, and the internalized beliefs that shape how women relate to money.

We know women are extraordinary stewards of their money and exceptional long-term investors. They’re thoughtful, steady, values-driven, and deeply intentional with their choices. When women feel resourced with money, they don’t just change their own lives — they change their families, their communities, and the generations that come after them.

as a practitioner (and i believe like many practitioners and teachers) the foundation of my most powerful work originated from my own need to understand and solve my own problems. curious if that resonates at all, and regardless, the origins of how you got here :)

Delana: I entered the world of personal finance when I hit my own rock bottom. I lost my job during the pandemic and was carrying $25k in credit card debt, paired with some intense lifestyle creep. I was lonely, craving partnership, and if I’m honest, hoping someone else would eventually save me financially. I didn’t feel confident with money, but I knew something needed to change. That moment pushed me into a deep, personal study of personal finance — and it transformed my life. I’ve never looked back.

Lexi: I started my career in traditional finance after studying finance and international business – I spent years working in Financial Consulting in NYC, where I was surrounded by high earners who felt completely overwhelmed and disconnected from their money. When my dad passed away the year he planned to retire, everything in me shifted. I saw how easy it is to postpone joy in the name of being responsible, and how far I’d drifted from the life I actually wanted. I took a sabbatical at an ashram, earned my yoga teacher certification, and began exploring my relationship with money from a more grounded and values-aligned place. As I dove into my own personal finance journey and began investing in real estate and the stock market, I was struck by how gate kept so much of this information is, especially from women. I started hosting Zoom workshops for the women in my life to share what I was learning, and that naturally grew into what is now Wealthkind.

when it comes to wellness as a whole, how do you think about financial wellness, what that means and where it fits in?

Financial wellness is often the missing layer of wellbeing, even though it touches nearly everything. It affects our relationships, our nervous system, and our sense of safety. When money feels confusing or chaotic, it’s hard to feel steady in other areas of life. When money feels clear and intentional, it becomes the foundation that supports our overall wellbeing.

For us, financial wellness is about having a healthy relationship with money so it becomes a tool for joy, freedom, and alignment, instead of a quiet source of stress or shame. With our clients, this often looks like building financial safety through an emergency fund, addressing high-interest debt, beginning to invest for long-term wealth, and exploring the money messages we grew up with so we can build a more supportive relationship moving forward.
