In this episode, Leia Ryan sits down with Cheryl, a Phoenix-based mortgage expert, to talk about her journey into the financial industry and break down reverse mortgages in a way that is easy to understand.

Cheryl shares how she spent over 16 years in the restaurant industry before transitioning into mortgages, using her background in customer service to build strong relationships and guide clients through important financial decisions. Her approach is rooted in solving problems and helping people feel confident in their choices.

The conversation also dives into reverse mortgages—what they are, how they work, and why they are often misunderstood. Cheryl explains the difference between traditional mortgages and reverse mortgages, and why she believes in them so strongly that her own mother chose one.

This episode is perfect for anyone curious about home equity, exploring financial options later in life, or interested in hearing how life experiences can lead to unexpected and successful career paths.
