In this episode of Grit, Grace, Growth, hosts Kim & Ken welcome special guest Olivia McGraw, a wealth strategist with Unbridled Wealth whose story is anything but conventional.

Olivia shares a powerful and wide-ranging journey that spans military college, international humanitarian work, and a complete career pivot into financial strategy. From attending The Citadel (one of the first generations of women navigating its male-dominated culture) to living in East Africa during and after periods of conflict, Olivia’s experiences have shaped a deeply resilient and purpose-driven perspective on life.

After years working in the nonprofit sector and living abroad in places like Burundi and Rwanda, Olivia eventually found her way into the financial world in an unexpected way. What began as curiosity turned into a passion for helping others create long-term financial freedom through strategic planning and education.

At the heart of this conversation is a theme of trust—trusting the process, trusting your path even when it doesn’t make sense, and allowing life’s detours to shape something greater than you originally imagined.

In this episode, we talk about:

• A WrestleMania-themed “Two Truths and a Lie” (with some surprising celebrity trivia)
• Olivia’s experience attending The Citadel and navigating a male-dominated environment
• Living and working in East Africa
• Lessons learned from poverty, resilience, and global perspective
• Transitioning from nonprofit work into the financial sector
• What it means to become a wealth strategist and help others build financial freedom
• The concept behind “infinite banking” and alternative financial strategies
• The importance of trusting the process (even when you don’t have a clear plan)
• Building a life driven by purpose, adaptability, and growth
