In this episode, I’m sitting down with Nichole Knight—and honestly, this is one of those conversations that stayed with me long after we hit stop.

Nichole spent over 20 years working in corporate finance, managing wealth for ultra high net worth families. She did everything right. Built the career. Made the money. Created the stability.

And then… her body forced her to stop.

What followed was burnout, a sabbatical, a one-way ticket to Bali…and a complete reimagining of her life.

Today, she’s living what she calls her “Freedom Life,” and helping other women understand that financial freedom isn’t just for the wealthy; it’s something we can intentionally build, if we’re willing to look at our numbers and rethink what we’ve been taught.

We talk about money, burnout, freedom, and the kind of life many of us don’t realize we’re allowed to want.

About Nichole Knight

Nichole Knight is a former corporate finance executive who spent over two decades managing wealth for ultra high net worth families before a burnout diagnosis in 2022 led her to completely reevaluate her life. What began as a sabbatical turned into a bold decision to walk away from her career and design what she now calls her “Freedom Life”—a location-independent lifestyle rooted in choice, ease, and alignment. Today, as a Money Mindset and Transition Coach and founder of the Freedom Chaser Club, Nichole helps women move from financial fear to financial freedom by shifting their relationship with money, building a solid financial foundation, and redefining what success truly looks like on their own terms.
