What if the life you built no longer fits the woman you've become?

In this episode of the Women of Wealth Podcast, Hawley Woods Gray and Allie Ramo sit down with Kim Costa, keynote speaker, author of Live in Your Wheelhouse, creator of the Wheelhouse Method, and luxury real estate professional serving North Atlanta.

After nearly three decades in residential design, construction, and finance, Kim found herself at a turning point. On paper, she had built a beautiful and successful life. But underneath it all, something wasn't aligned. One of the clearest signs? After winning an essay contest for The Oprah Winfrey Show, Kim actually turned down the opportunity to have the show come to her home because she felt too overwhelmed by the life and environment she had created. That realization eventually became part of a much bigger reinvention.

Kim shares how she navigated divorce, remarriage, an empty nest, a career change, and a new home while learning to make decisions based on who she truly was rather than what she thought she was supposed to be.

Today, she helps others do the same through her Wheelhouse Method, which looks at eight interconnected areas of life: finance, health, environment, career, romance, fun and leisure, spirituality, and family and friends.

In this conversation, Kim explores why your home is about far more than square footage or beautiful countertops. It can either support your wealth, freedom, relationships, health, and future or quietly hold you back from the life you're trying to create.

Hawley, Allie, and Kim discuss why midlife can be one of the most powerful seasons for reinvention, how to recognize when you've outgrown a previous version of your life, and why major transitions aren't always the time to rush into the next big decision.

Kim also shares a simple but powerful piece of advice for women facing divorce, an empty nest, retirement, relocation, or another major life change: hit the pause button. Before making an expensive or permanent decision, take the time to determine what you actually want your next chapter to look like.

In this episode:

• Why Kim completely reinvented her life in midlife
• The surprising story behind turning down an opportunity with Oprah
• The eight areas of Kim's Wheelhouse Method
• How your home can support or limit your wealth and freedom
• The emotional signs that your life may be out of alignment
• Why women should rethink what success looks like in their next chapter
• How to approach housing decisions after divorce, retirement or an empty nest
• Why financial alignment is only one piece of choosing the right home
• How small changes to your environment can create meaningful shifts
• Kim's advice for women who realize they're ready for something more

What does it actually take to build a relationship that thrives - not just survives? In this episode of Women of Wealth, Hawley Woods Gray and Allie Ramo sit down with internationally recognized relationship expert Jessica Yaffa for a candid conversation about healthy relationships, communication, boundaries, money, self-worth, and the importance of feeling seen, heard, and valued.

Drawing from more than 25 years in the mental health field, as well as her own personal experience with relationship trauma, Jessica shares how her journey ultimately led her to work in relationship education, coaching, prevention, and survivor support.

Jessica explores why conflict itself isn't necessarily a sign of an unhealthy relationship - it's how couples navigate that conflict that matters. She shares the importance of self-accountability, maintaining individuality within a partnership, understanding each other's needs, and learning where to stand firm and where to practice flexibility.

The conversation also dives into one of the biggest sources of conflict for couples: money. Jessica explains why two people rarely enter a relationship with identical beliefs and experiences around finances and how differences around saving, spending, shared accounts, financial priorities, and future planning can reveal deeper differences in values.

Hawley, Allie, and Jessica also discuss why so many women struggle to prioritize themselves, why setting boundaries can feel selfish, and how generations of conditioning have taught women that being a good partner, mother, daughter, or friend often means putting everyone else's needs first.

Jessica also sheds light on financial abuse and the increasingly complex ways control can appear in relationships - including through technology, social media, location sharing, and constant access to one another. Most importantly, Jessica encourages women and couples not to wait until their relationships reach a breaking point before seeking support. Strong relationships deserve attention when things are going well, too.

In this episode:

• Why healthy relationships still have conflict
• The role of accountability in stronger communication
• Why money creates so much tension between couples
• How our childhood and past experiences shape our beliefs about money
• Negotiables vs. non-negotiables in a partnership
• Why women often struggle to communicate their own needs
• How to set boundaries without viewing yourself as selfish
• The importance of maintaining individuality within a relationship
• Financial abuse and less obvious forms of power and control
• How technology can complicate unhealthy relationship dynamics
• Why feeling seen, heard, and valued matters
• The importance of seeking relationship support before a crisis

Jessica leaves us with a powerful reminder: wealth isn't measured only in dollars. True wealth can also be found in the people surrounding us, the quality of our relationships, and our experience of gratitude.

What if the ultimate measure of wealth isn't just money - but freedom of time?

In this episode of the Women of Wealth Podcast, Hawley Woods Gray and Allie Ramo sit down with serial entrepreneur Robin Sims-Allen, founder of Total Her and CEO of Phoenix Marcus, to talk about entrepreneurship, ownership, reinvention, and creating more opportunities for women to build income on their own terms. Robin knew from an early age that the traditional career path wasn't for her. But her entrepreneurial journey taught her an important lesson: a great idea isn't enough. You have to be willing to take risks, move when the timing is right, and - perhaps most importantly - know when to pivot.

That philosophy helped shape Total Her, a women-focused platform designed to help entrepreneurs, creators, freelancers, consultants, and aspiring business owners monetize their skills, connect with community, and create greater ownership over their income, audience, and time.

Robin shares why she believes women are too often pouring their energy into everyone and everything else, why traditional professional environments can still create ceilings for women, and how entrepreneurship can offer another path toward flexibility and independence.

She also takes us behind the vision for Total Her - from mentorship and community “Circles” to business opportunities, monetization tools, security features, and upcoming AI capabilities designed to help creators spend less time on tedious work and more time actually living.

In this conversation, you'll hear about:

• Why taking risks and knowing when to pivot became two of Robin's biggest entrepreneurial lessons
• How timing can make or break an innovative idea
• Why Robin believes freedom of time is a form of wealth
• The inspiration and mission behind Total Her
• Creating income from the skills, knowledge, services, and content you already have
• Why community, mentorship, safety, and ownership matter for women building businesses
• Robin's vision for creating an ecosystem where women support - and do business with - other women
• How technology and AI can help entrepreneurs reclaim valuable time
• Why Robin believes women shouldn't have to work 50, 60, or 70 hours a week to build successful businesses
• Her advice for women who are curious about entrepreneurship but don't know where to begin

This week on Women of Wealth, the tables are turned! Co-host Allie Ramo steps into the hot seat as Hawley Woods Gray takes over the interview and dives into Allie’s story - from navigating career uncertainty to finding her place in financial services, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

In this candid conversation, Allie opens up about the moment she realized the work she was doing could truly change someone’s life, how entrepreneurship transformed her relationship with money, and why she’s learned to bet on herself instead of waiting for someone else to create financial security for her.

Hawley and Allie also talk about the importance of getting out from behind the computer, building genuine relationships, investing in yourself without becoming dependent on the “next” course or coach, and surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to grow.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Why your career path doesn’t have to be linear to lead you somewhere meaningful
• The client experience that changed the way Allie viewed financial services
• Learning to invest in yourself—and knowing when you already have the tools you need
• Why simply “seeing the people” has become one of Allie’s most effective business strategies
• The role networking and community have played in her personal and professional growth
• Moving away from competition and toward collaboration with other women
• Why you don’t have to know everything before you start
• Building a team and learning that you can’t want success more than someone wants it for themselves
• The money advice Allie still carries from her parents
• Why patience, consistency, and relationships have become some of her greatest measures of success
• Allie’s personal definition of what it means to be a Woman of Wealth

For Allie, wealth isn’t necessarily about becoming a billionaire. It’s about having your needs met, creating fulfillment for yourself and your family, and having the freedom to live life on your own terms.

Her biggest message? You don’t have to have your entire future figured out before you begin. Choose something, be willing to try, give it your all - and allow the journey to show you where you’re meant to go.

Ready to redefine wealth on your own terms?
