42: One Million Dollar Debt Payoff to Financial Freedom: Naseema McElroy's Wealth-Building Journey

The Sugar Daddy Podcast

Naseema McElroy is a published author and the founder of Financially Intentional, a platform about personal finance and living life intentionally.
In this episode, she speaks to Jessica and Brandon about how taking control of her finances has enabled her to overcome bankruptcy, divorce, and break the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck. She shares her lessons along her path to help others benefit from the freedoms of financial independence.
Outside of encouraging people to get their financial act together, Naseema is a mother, and a Labor & Delivery Nurse. Though making six figures for years, she struggled with money. Finally realizing she couldn't out-earn her financial ignorance, she knew she had to make some changes. By shifting her mindset around money, being consistent and intentional, she has paid off $1 million in debt and grew a six figure net worth in three years without living in deprivation.
This episode is a treasure trove of real-life wisdom on nurturing financial literacy within the family. She draws from her own upbringing and the generational changes in wealth-building to highlight the delicate balance of teaching children the value of money while also preserving the joys of their childhood. Her profound insights into the challenges and victories of single parenting, coupled with her remarkable comeback story from bankruptcy, form a narrative that is as educational as it is uplifting.
Tune in for a heartfelt account that promises to empower you with the strategies and mindset to craft a life of intention, care, and financial independence.
