Did you ever wish you could get a tennis lesson from Serena Williams? Writing advice from Stephen King? How about a singing lesson from Beyonce? Well today, you’re about to get financial advice from the self-proclaimed “Beyonce of Personal Finance,” which is so fitting!

My guest, Melissa Jean-Baptiste, is a financial educator and author of So This Is Why I'm Broke: Money Lessons on Financial Literacy, Passive Income, and Generational Wealth. And when I tell you she is qualified to teach us about money… just wait til you hear this.

She paid off $102,000 dollars in student loan debt on a teacher’s salary, all while writing and producing the award-winning Millennial In Debt web series. She has since pivoted into personal finance and career coaching to help millennials and Gen Z build generational wealth and gain financial freedom in a shame-free digital environment. 

In this episode, we discuss what it truly means to build generational wealth, how to go on money dates and why they matter, and habits to incorporate into your life to start building your own wealth. Click play NOW!

I threw a party for my book! Ok, not really… but Drew, the girls, and I *did* eat some cake. We had to celebrate somehow! Because my first book, New York Times bestseller How Are You, Really? turned one this week, and let me tell you: I am feeling alllll the feels. From hitting the top of the charts to selling over 100,000 copies, to over 1,000 reviews on Amazon – it’s been a wild ride and one I have LOVED. 

It’s hard to explain just how powerful it is to have your story (in all its vulnerable glory) in hardcover for anyone in the world to read. And although it gives me a liiiiittle anxiety if I think about it too long, it also feels important… because our stories are our legacy. 

In fact, I dive into this topic inside of my books pages. Of course, you can read the entire thing by getting your copy at howareyoureallybook.com… but for now, let’s celebrate the one year anniversary of How Are You, Really? by listening to Chapter 14: What Brooke Shields Doesn't know: Why Your Story Matters A Lot. Enjoy (preferably with cake, too)!

I always think about my life like a series of seasons, and each one brings a different main value to the forefront. In some seasons, money becomes the king, and we're willing to trade our time for it. You see this a lot when you're just starting up a business or when you're going through big changes like pivoting or launching something new. It's the harsh reality of the game.

But here's the thing: once you've achieved some level of success or financial freedom, you start to realize that time is the real treasure. You'd gladly give up some of that hard-earned money to get back those precious moments. I always think about it like this—time is a non-renewable resource. Once it's gone, you can't get it back. Money, on the other hand, you can always find a way to earn more.

As we go through the different seasons of life, let's keep in mind this profound truth about time and money. The goal is for us to find that sweet spot between chasing financial stability and preserving our most valuable asset—time. 

This episode is to help you make conscious choices that align with that value–with 5 ways to trade money to get back time to do the things that matter most. Click play NOW to dive in!
