In this episode, Jessica Olsen sits down with Kristi Jimenez-Larson, former financial advisor and founder of Risk It, for an unfiltered conversation about reclaiming your life on your own terms.

Kristi opens up about her journey of redefining success—moving beyond money, status, and external approval to embrace personal freedom, self-trust, and the safety of being authentically herself. She shares how years of emotional and physical abuse eroded her confidence and sense of self, trapping her in cycles that felt impossible to break.

This conversation explores what abuse actually does to you: how it isolates you, rewrites your internal dialogue, and keeps you afraid to ask the most fundamental question—What do I want? Kristi speaks candidly about the moment she finally began asking that question and how, step by step, she rebuilt her life around the answer.

If you've ever felt stuck, silenced, or uncertain about how to begin again, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. It's about finding your voice, extending yourself grace, and discovering that walking away isn't failure—it's the first step toward freedom.
