Welcome back to the Wealth Within Reach podcast, Season 3!

What if the path you’ve been told is secure is actually holding you back from true financial freedom?

Today, I sit down with Katherine Langevin, a former CPA who walked away from corporate life to build wealth on her own terms. She breaks down the mindset changes, financial strategies, and bold moves that helped her transition from employee to investor—proving that security doesn’t come from a paycheck, but from ownership and smart financial decisions.

Kat shares the real reason high-income earners still struggle financially, the moment she realized her career wasn’t leading to freedom, and the exact steps she took to escape the cycle. We dive into the biggest money leaks draining real estate profits, why bad bookkeeping can quietly kill your business, and how to take control of your finances like a true wealth builder.

If you’re ready to stop trading time for money and start creating lasting wealth, this episode is for you. Press play now and take the first step toward financial freedom!
