Kim Abmeyer: Becoming the Advisor You’re Meant to Be

In this episode, Tara talks with Kim Abmeyer, founding equity partner of Ascentis Wealth and Ascentis Asset Management, about responsibility, growth, and the importance of women supporting one another in financial services.

Kim shares how she grew into the role of advisor over time—initially not wanting to be an advisor—and why that early hesitation may be one of her greatest strengths today. She reflects on building long-term client relationships, creating asset models, and finding fulfillment in the positive impact she makes.

The conversation also explores the value of community, including the women’s group Kim is part of that prioritizes connection, friendship, and mutual support over competition.

This episode is a reminder that there’s no single right way into this profession—and that caring deeply, even feeling scared at first, can be a sign you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
