Episode 74:
Igniting Financial Success Post-Divorce
with Naseema McElroy of Financially Intentional
Show Notes
Naseema McElroy, the founder of Financially Intentional, shares her personal finance journey and how she achieved financial independence after divorce. She paid off $1 million in debt and grew a six figure net worth in three years without depriving herself or her family of the things they enjoy.
Naseemaā€™s mission now, aside from working as a labor and delivery nurse, is helping educate people about wealth-building and financial independence. She has a different take on what financial independence means, and sheā€™s not talking about buckling down financially so you can quit working at a young age. Itā€™s more about making work optional and having the ability to choose the work that brings you joy and fulfillment. Naseema says that taking mini-retirements can provide opportunities to recharge and enjoy life while still maintaining financial stability.
We talk about the role of budgeting, getting educated about finances, and the impact of emotional well-being on financial decision making. Naseema advises women to explore career and educational opportunities that align with their interests and goals and she also shares some simple investment strategies for women coming out of divorce.
