About this episode

Ellaine Maala shares her journey to financial freedom and introduces the Nurse Money Project aimed at empowering nurses financially.

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.
