This week in the guest chair we have Naseema McElroy, author and the founder of Financially Intentional, a platform about personal finance and living life intentionally. Starting with just under one million dollars in debt, Naseema taught herself financial literacy, paid off her debt, and started side hustling as a consultant teaching others to do the same.

In this episode she shares:

• How she created an intentional budget that didn’t leave her in a place of lack
• Why she believes everyone can take control of their finances, and how to actually do it
• The different income streams and resources she uses to stay financially free, and much more!
