Dr. Erika Rasure joins Naseema McElroy on her podcast Financially Intentional for a candid conversation about financial wellness. The podcast helps amplify the idea that wealth is less about collecting coins and more about living life intentionally.
As Beyond Finance’s Chief Financial Wellness Advisor, Dr. Erika leads weekly seminars for our clients who are working their way out of debt, putting them on a path to lasting financial health.
In this episode, Naseema and Dr. Erika explore how money problems are more than just numbers — how debt can make you feel sad, stressed, or stuck, and why it’s important to heal your “money story.” Dr. Erika shares how she helps people who feel overwhelmed by debt and want to change their lives. The two dive into credit scores, money shame, and how to build healthy financial habits that actually last.
“People are struggling with debt, and it is okay to look [for] and find help,” shares Dr. Erika. “It does not mean you are a failure at all. Seeking help means that you are taking your first step — first, transforming your feelings towards yourself, towards your money, and your long-lasting financial wellness that you deserve.”
