The Nurse Money Project: My Journey to Financial Freedom

 

In this episode, I kick off the Nurse Money Project—a 12-week series aimed at helping nurses achieve financial freedom. I share my personal journey, from growing up in the Philippines with little financial knowledge to becoming a financially free nurse in the U.S. I discuss the cultural taboos around money, my family's immigrant experience, and how I transitioned from financial confusion to confidence. This series will cover various money topics, including mindset, investing, and financial planning, all tailored for nurses. Subscribe and join me on this journey to becoming financially empowered.
