Bonnie Koo and Defining Wealth For Women

As female entrepreneurs, we know the challenges that come with a weak money mindset. It takes a lot of trial and error before we can trust ourselves when it comes to our own wealth.

And this week’s guest used to feel no different. But, she managed to stand up, do the deep work and change her relationship with money. 

And now, she’s committed to helping women make the same shifts that she did!

Bonnie Koo is a dermatologist-turned-fulltime wealth coach, the founder of Wealthy Mom MD, and author of her upcoming book Defining Wealth For Women: (n.) Peace, Purpose, and Plenty of Cash. Her mission is to help female physicians grow and manage their money in a well-informed and confident way. 

In this week’s episode, Bonnie gives us a candid take on what she has learned through her role as a wealth coach. 

She breaks down why women don’t always have their own back while handling money, the social expectations surrounding wealth for practitioner-based careers, and the fear of judgement that bars many women from celebrating their successes with money.

Here’s what you can expect from this week’s fascinating episode:

• Bonnie’s journey from medicine to full-time wealth coaching

• A candid discussion on money in the practitioner’s sphere

• The “arrival fallacy” concept

• What happens when you bring a broke mindset to the table

• The motivational triad (and how it applies to making money)

• An honest conversation about the state of medical practitioners post-COVID

• Women and the current internal narrative around handling wealth

• A glimpse at what Bonnie’s book Defining Wealth For Women: (n.) Peace, Purpose, and Plenty of Cash is all about!

• The entrepreneur VS. practitioner money debate

Bonnie also touches upon her relationship with failure as someone with a Type A personality, discusses her attitude towards money growing up, and breaks down why having a high income doesn’t necessarily mean you have it all figured out.

We enjoyed recording this episode because of how transparent, uninhibited, and realistic Bonnie’s take on things is. She’s not afraid to drop numbers or give you the real picture, which is super refreshing when we’re talking about the $$$.

Tune in with a cup of tea and get ready to take charge of your money mindset!

This week’s Joy:

Bonnie’s current joy makes sure she’s feeling healthy, hydrated, and glamorous at all times - it’s her special TOMO rose gold water bottle! (Those crystals would brighten up anyone’s day!)

This week’s Hustle:

Bonnie believes her book Defining Wealth For Women: (n.) Peace, Purpose, and Plenty of Cash (coming out October 2021!) is extremely helpful for any woman. It’s a fascinating look at the socialization of money, the psychology of women surrounding wealth, and some serious brain-rewiring that we all need today to change the financial narrative.
