Episode Summary:

In this inspiring episode, I’m joined by Naseema McElroy—nurse, founder of Financially Intentional, and host of the Financially Intentional podcast. Naseema shares how she paid off over $1 million in debt while still enjoying life on her terms.

We dig into how she turned a six-figure income into long-term wealth, rebuilt her financial life after divorce and bankruptcy, and set her daughters on the path to financial independence. One of them already has over $100K invested.

If you’ve ever felt like you're behind or believed that building wealth means sacrificing joy, Naseema’s story will show you what’s possible when you get intentional with your money.

What You’ll Learn:

  1. You don’t have to give up joy to build wealth. Naseema shows how intentional spending allows you to enjoy life and pay off massive debt.

  2. Your financial setbacks don’t define you. Even after divorce and bankruptcy, it’s possible to rebuild and thrive.

  3. Generational wealth is built through early action. Naseema’s children are already investors, and she shares exactly how she made that possible.
