Being broke isn’t just a number in your bank account—it’s a feeling of exhaustion, fear, and isolation. It’s a cycle that so many of us know intimately, and one that today’s guest, Dasha Kennedy—aka The Broke Black Girl—has lived, studied, and helped thousands escape. In this deeply honest conversation, Dasha and I talk about what it means to truly be broke, the systemic barriers that keep so many people in financial survival mode, and the very first steps you can take to begin rewriting your money story. Whether you’re deep in debt, feeling stuck living paycheck-to-paycheck, or just craving financial stability, this episode will meet you where you are––and give you the tools and motivation you need to get unstuck.
