Meet Lexi Sidle | Co-Founder of Wealthkind

We had the good fortune of connecting with Lexi Sidle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lexi, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I grew up watching my dad run a business. He owned retail stores that started here in Miami, so entrepreneurship always appealed to me. But I also saw how much he worked. When he got sick with cancer, one of the last things he told me was not to wait to enjoy my life. That stayed with me.

So when I eventually left my corporate finance job, I knew I wanted to build something that supported my life rather than consumed it. I just didn’t know what that would be yet.
Around the same time, I’d gone through my own financial transformation. I’d taken courses, learned how to invest, and finally understood how to use money intentionally. It changed everything. The anxiety eased. I could see a bigger version of my life.

Then I met Delana. We’d both become deeply interested in personal finance and were already informally teaching friends. We spent about six months talking before officially partnering, making sure we shared values and a vision. We both knew financial education could change women’s lives—and we wanted to build something sustainable, not a business that would burn us out.

Wealthkind grew from that. Two women who reshaped their own relationships with money and wanted to make that transformation accessible to others. Our revenue has grown 775% this year, and as of last month, we’ve doubled our cohorts because the demand is there. Women are hungry for this knowledge. For too long, financial resources have been built without women in mind. We’re offering something different: holistic education, beautiful content, and a community that actually helps women build wealth with confidence.

What should our readers know about your business?
Wealthkind is a financial wellness company for women. We offer a flagship course called Financial Foundations, corporate workshops, and ongoing community support—all designed to help women stop feeling intimidated by money and start building wealth with confidence.

What sets us apart is that we balance the emotional and the practical. Most financial education is either too technical and cold, or too mindset-focused without real strategy. We do both. We help women understand their money stories—the beliefs they inherited, the anxiety they carry—and we give them actual tools: how to invest, how to build a system, how to plan for a life they’re excited about. Our students walk away with a brokerage account, a values-based spending plan, and a completely different relationship with their finances.

I’m most proud of the results we’re seeing. Every single course graduate has reported meaningful improvement. On average, women rate themselves 72% higher across six pillars of financial wellness—saving, spending, debt, income, investing, and mindset—by the time they finish. And 65% of our clients come from referrals, which tells me the work speaks for itself. A sister takes the course, then tells her sister. A friend can’t stop talking about it at dinner. That’s the kind of growth we want.

Getting here wasn’t a straight line. Delana, my co-founder, and I both came to this work after our own financial transformations—we’d felt the stress, done the learning, and experienced how different life feels on the other side. We started by teaching friends informally, then realized this needed to be bigger. We’ve grown 775% this year and just doubled our cohort size because the demand is real. Women are hungry for this.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that women don’t need to be convinced that financial wellness matters—they already know. They just need a space that doesn’t make them feel behind or ashamed for not knowing things they were never taught. That’s what we’ve built. A place where you can be honest about what you don’t know, learn at your own pace, and finally feel like money is something that works for you instead of against you.

If you’re a woman who’s been meaning to get her finances together—or a company that wants to actually support your team’s financial wellbeing—we’d love to meet you. You can find us at wealthkind.co or @wealthkind on Instagram.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’d want to show them the Miami that actually feels like home to me — not the obvious spots, but the places I go when I want a nourishing weekend.

We’d start in the Design District for coffee at Baker + Barista, then pop into Dale Zine—a little creative zine studio and shop that most people don’t know about. From there, we’d wander over to Upper Buena Vista, which is this tucked-away sanctuary with lush plant life, little meditation rooms, and the kind of vibe that surprises people who think they know Miami. Fincas is over there and absolutely worth the visit.

For lunch, Mandolin is a must. I once had a friend request to eat there all three days of her trip—that’s how good it is. The outdoor space feels like you’ve escaped to the Mediterranean, and the food is exceptional. Hot tip: Ask for Freddy, the sommelier. The best in Miami!

If we’re in the mood to explore, we’d hit a few galleries in the afternoon — The Margulies Collection, El Espacio, The ICA. Miami’s art scene is special, and if you’re a local wanting to dabble, check out Fountainhead Arts.

Happy hour at Klaw for sunset on the water, then dinner at Sunny’s Steakhouse or Pastis depending on the vibe. Sunny’s if we want a scene, Pastis if we want to talk for three hours over pickle martinis.

One morning we’d do the Coconut Grove or Legion Park farmers market—grab food, walk around, maybe wander into a thrift store nearby. The art deco pieces hiding in Miami thrift shops are a must-experience for visitors.

And I’d absolutely plan a boat day with a sunset. There’s nothing like being on the water here when the light gets golden.

A few other spots I love: Sobremesa for their Saturday wine tastings, Gramps Getaway for oysters and a cold beer, and I can’t put together a Miami itinerary without mentioning LPM for a tomatini.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Honestly, our clients. The women who take a chance on our course, who show up vulnerably and do the work—they’re the reason Wealthkind exists. Watching someone go from avoiding their bank account to confidently investing in three weeks reminds me why we started this. They trust us with something really personal, and that trust pushes us to keep building something worthy of it.
