On today’s episode of The His & Her Money Show, we celebrate the victory and journey of Sherika Wynter, a product manager/teacher/business owner/speaker who turned a bad financial situation into a lesson in persistence, creativity, and grit.
As we’ll learn in this episode, Sherika received a medical bill for surgery that she thought should have been covered by her insurance. A month later, she was given the pink slip by her job.
One of these situations alone (a huge medical bill or unemployment) would have been enough to financially wipe out even the best of us.
But Sherika fought. She bobbed and weaved through each of her obstacles with creativity, faith, and humor…and she found her way to financial freedom.
Through her story, you will find an example of the person you have to be to be financially free. You need someone who draws a line in the sand and lets nothing cross the line until financial freedom.
