I’m thrilled to bring you another inspiring and practical story in my interview series, Inspiring Women in Recovery.

I’ve been helping women in recovery for years, but just recently starting teaching financial literacy to them. I did my first pilot course and am encouraged!

The Birth of Financial Literacy 101

I wrote on my blog that I was working on a financial literacy curriculum for women in recovery. Amazingly, a few requests came in from women running groups at local sober houses. The funny thing is that they didn’t even read my blog but simply knew my debt freedom story.
