Too many smart, successful women still feel like money and investing isn't for them.

You believe budgeting is restrictive. 
You didn't grow up talking about investing at the dinner table. 
So you think building wealth is reserved for finance bros or math geniuses.

None of it is true.

I'm Anouk Knuffmann, Money Mindset & Investment Coach for women, and creator of the Auto Millionaire Method™—a 5-step framework that helps you go from income earner to high net worth woman by combining nervous system expansion with financial strategies and investing.

But more than that? I help women step into a new financial identity.

Because becoming wealthy isn't just about spreadsheets and charts. It's about becoming the kind of woman who feels safe with money, empowered by her decisions, and deeply in control of her future.

My approach blends identity-shifting mindset work with hands-off investing strategy, so you don't just learn how to grow your money, you learn how to become the woman who leads it with confidence.

My story:

Growing up, I never thought I was "good with numbers." I believed wealth wasn't for people like me. Becoming a millionaire? Never.

That shifted when I heard another woman speak about investing in a way I'd never seen before. Suddenly, the world of money felt open to me.

Fast forward 7 years, and I've helped women all over the world transform their financial reality while building one of my own:

🏡 Moved my family to a beachside home in Portugal
💻 Built a part-time business that supports full-time freedom
🏖️ Spend my days working with women I adore, raising my daughter, and building generational wealth on autopilot

Financial empowerment isn't just a goal. It's a lifestyle... and it's one you get to define.

If you're a freedom-seeking, ambitious woman who's ready to make your money work harder than you do, send me a DM with WEALTH and let's craft your path.

Anouk Knuffmann

Helping high achieving women solve the health puzzle for good.

I’m here to help people wake the hell up—not through pressure or hustle, but through truth, joy, and radical self-remembrance.

I coach high-performing leaders, founders, and dream builders who want to live, lead, and build in alignment with their full power.

That means facing the shadows, honoring the body, reconnecting to spirit, and reclaiming PLAY as a sacred technology.

Through Becoming the Bridge, the community I co-founded, we offer retreats, masterminds, and spaces for people to drop the performance and actually feel again.

Because when you’re safe to be real, the breakthroughs come faster than you ever imagined.

My background spans fitness, somatics, energy work, coaching, entrepreneurship, and 10 years in sales.

I don’t teach from the mind—I teach from my lived experience.

And here's what I’ve found:

The deeper you go within, the greater your capacity to lead, love, and make a meaningful impact in the world.

Your business expands as your nervous system expands.

Your influence deepens as your integrity deepens.

You don’t need to be more productive.

You need to be more alive.

Let’s build the new way—where impact starts from the inside out.

As our client Bruce told us, "I've spent over 100K on coaching and this is the program that's had the biggest impact on me."

Pretty freaking cool, right?

4+ years ago, in a single instant, I decided to give up alcohol.

Drew a line in the sand.
Stepped over it.
Never looked back.

That same year, I completely 180-ed my life.

⚡moved home
⚡quit corporate
⚡launched my own biz
⚡got in a healthy relationship
⚡healed the disordered eating I was experiencing

My own experiences are the reason I became a transformational leader and coach.

I changed, so I knew others could too.

4 years in, I have a mountain of evidence that people can decide to do any fking thing that they put their mind to. 

And here’s the real kicker:

Change doesn’t have to take years.

It happens the moment you decide you’re completely done with the old story and ready to step into the new one.

You don’t need permission.
You don’t need perfect timing.
You don’t need a 400 step plan.

You just need a single decision.

One powerful, non-negotiable decision.

Draw the line. Step over it. Never look back. 💜



Tell me, do you believe it can be this simple? I’d love to know ⬇️

I recently started reading the Bible for the first time in my adult life

Growing up in a religion that did not serve me, I could never have imagined finding myself back to these teachings as an adult

But questioning my own assumptions— putting thoughts, ideas, and ways of being onto my personal altar over and over again to question whether they are True– is a core part of my practice 

Having been on a journey of spiritual exploration for years now, I’ve sat at the feet of many great teachers to learn 

And after witnessing several people in my inner circle’s lives be transformed by the teachings of Jesus, I became aware of how I was closed off due to a story I carried from the past

So I’ve been on an exploration to sit at the feet of this great teacher and learn directly from His words

Already I can feel myself being transformed by the depth of love and grace being transmitted through the teachings

----------

Why do I share this?

As someone who had the religious “ick” for years, it’s most certainly not to alienate anyone 

I also don’t share this because I’m religious (I’m not)

Nor will I be pushing this in any of the work I do in the world

I share this because I’m noticing that being able to open my heart to things that I was previously completely closed off to shows me that I am becoming more and more free internally

It’s not about doctrine for me, it’s about liberation

This is the gift of a spiritual path– it’s less about what I believe, and more about who I become when I allow myself to soften, listen, and be return to something I once ran from and meet it with curiosity instead of fear

Kind of a big one for a Friday

May you receive this with the same love I wrote it with 

Curious how any of this resonates (or not) with you? 

Big love, as always 💜

I remember the first time I made President’s Club at 24. Our CSO raised a toast and asked me- the only woman on the team- how many new designer bags I would be buying. 

Everyone laughed, and I laughed along with them.

But the real answer was zero. 

I was paying to put myself through college on the side and sending money home to my family, as we had lost both our family home and business in the 2008 crash.

------------------

I remember I closed a 7 figure deal- the largest services deal our division had ever seen.

When it was announced, a male team member asked who I had slept with to get the PO.

I just shook my head and brushed it off. 

The truth? I had spent years building relationships at that company. I had a badge. I was invited to their kid’s birthday parties.

------------------

I could share countless stories like these.

Because in my 10+ year sales career, I was consistently a top performer…

And I spent just as much time trying to find safety inside my own organization as I did serving customers.

To be clear, I hold no bitterness or resentment.

These experiences shaped me into who I am today. 

They taught me resilience, for sure– but also the cost of spending time in environments that don’t feel safe or supportive. 

And this is where Becoming the Bridge comes in.

Because founders and early leaders set the emotional architecture of a company long before the org chart exists.

Your people will model what you model.

And the culture you build– intentionally or not– will either unlock their brilliance or slowly drain it.

Founders: you have the rare chance to build something different.

Something human.

Something that makes people brighter, not smaller.

The kind of company where no one has to armor up just to belong.

Better workplaces start with better leaders.

And that starts with you 💜

My husband and I have deployed investment capital to multiple founders we met on LinkedIn, but you won’t catch us investing in the hottest new AI company and we rarely touch an angel investment opp.

Instead, we regularly invest in businesses that are already profitable with founders we like, in industries we know well.

We index on creating cash flow now, with the opportunity for upside later. 

This is a part of the path we followed to financial independence in our early 30s.

There are 1,000 ways to be an investor. 

The important thing is to have a thesis guiding your decision making that aligns with your goals, skillsets, and values. That thesis should tie together holistically (1) your portfolio, and (2) the rest of your career.

But even some of the most successful entrepreneurs I’ve ever met are still taking their first steps in becoming investors. (That’s ok: making investing mistakes teaches you valuable lessons about what kind of investor you want to be.)

Some of the best ROI you can ever find is learning from the mistakes (and successes) of others, to avoid having to make ALL of them yourself.

That’s why our community encourages each other to post deals they’re thinking of doing, to get feedback + fresh perspective on both risk and opportunity. We’ve had a few good ones this week!

On that note…

Nov 18th is our next masterclass on Conscious Wealth Creation: Investing As An Entrepreneur, led by my husband Alex Boyd. 

We won’t cover “buy this stock or that bond”. It’s going to be about broadening horizons, and building an investment thesis that fits in with the rest of your entrepreneurial ventures:

To allow you to navigate the (financial and emotional) ups and downs with equanimity.

Sometimes you just have to act as if THIS business/opportunity you’re growing, is the only one.

What a blessing it can be, to have your back against the wall:

To know that there is NO alternative if you don’t make whatever you’re working on, work.

I wonder some days whether I would do things differently if I was just starting out in my career, instead of building from a place of relative financial comfort.

How can I take the best parts from when I really WAS cornered and had no way to go but out and up… without the worst parts?

To both feel the urgency of growing the mission. But not also act from desperation, like many of us do (and I used to do) when there was truly no alternative but to make whatever was in front of me, work.

Many of you are later-career: you’ve accomplished a lot already. You’re not just figuring things out for the first time.

But maybe you’ve gone on your own and started a business or changed careers, and now things are new and different.

Or you’re taking clients on the side because your primary job takes 20h/wk, and you have a burning desire to create a company that allows you to quit your job.

My answer:

👉  You have to change fuel.

Feeding on unholy desperation is the entrepreneurial equivalent of drinking unicorn blood: it’ll keep you going, but at great cost.

If you started your career drinking quad shot espressos and unicorn blood, and now you’re more comfortable: you can’t go back to the way you started.

You’ll need to find a real PURPOSE that sustains you.

And, “I want to make money” doesn’t count.

Everyone’s purpose is unique. But it almost always comes down to Some Way You Want To See The World Be Different From How It Is.

Find that, focus on that, and come back to it when you get lost (emotionally, financially, mentally…).

Because you WILL get lost.

I get lost, too. We all do.

But I always find my way back through my purpose:

To help leaders who are doing the inner work to maximize their mission. To bring world-changing people together to heal and grow in community.

To convince you all that self-love comes first, and hustle second.

And to lead by example. 💜

Someone pinch me, a dream is coming true right now!!!

I am so thrilled to invite you to the first ever Becoming the Bridge international retreat!

Funny story: Jack Rosenkrantz and I were living parallel lives before we met.

We both lived in SF working in sales for competing companies, both quit drinking, cleaned up our lives and became coaches. 

And for both of us, Costa Rica was a big part of our transformations!

So we knew from day one that paying it forward by creating transformational experiences on the magical land of CR was going to be important to us.

And here we are! Eek!!

This event will be part million dollar mastermind, part transformational retreat, part music festival. 

Built to support the founder who is dedicated to bringing their vision to life with as much joy, expansion, and connection as possible.

5 days/4 nights of stepping out of a world of expectation and into a world of possibilities.

Find the deets and set up a call to see if it’s a fit here: 

https://lnkd.in/gqmZgfJc

My first online launch in 2022, 2 people signed up. One of those people was my mom 😂

(Love you mom since I know you’re reading this!)

I ran the program anyway and knocked the one real client’s socks off.

That same client went on to join 2 more offerings and is looking to join a 4th next year.

Fast forward to now, where I’m heading into hosting a retreat next week– an offering that sold out months in advance. 

The amount of less than glamorous moments it’s taken to get here:
- launches like the one I named above
- pivoting appx 1,317 times
- publicly shutting down a business

Entrepreneurship is a fantastic vehicle for learning to set down your pride.

The path to sold out launches is paved with as many “failed” or highly mid launches as it takes.

The question is: can you stay in the game long enough with enough enthusiasm to get there?

The ones who make it have three things in common:

⚡they remain connected to their vision
⚡they stay curious and use the data as feedback, rather than a judgment of their worth
⚡they surround themselves with people who are dedicated to going the distance 

I didn’t have that third piece when I started and it was tough.

So Jack and I built it. 

If you’re a founder who is looking for support from other founders who have been around the block, the Becoming the Bridge community might be a fit for you.
