About this episode

The episode features an interview with Bola Sokunbi discussing the Wellbeing Awards and financial empowerment.

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, hosts Grant Gallagher and Shawn Lubitz are joined by Bola Sokunbi, founder of Clever Girl Finance and Wellbeing Awards honoree. The hosts explain the process behind each year’s Wellbeing Awards, including the three awards categories. They highlight the amazing group of 2025 honorees and interview Bola about how her organization boosts wellbeing through financial empowerment. Following the main discussion, the team discusses a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: During the holiday season, my family usually donates money to a national charity. This year, my wife and I want to do something more tangible for our local community. Also, I think my kids are old enough to get involved. How can we find local charities that need hands-on support, especially for whole-family volunteering? Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s High-Yield Checking Accounts . Grow your savings, get monthly ATM refunds, and earn a 5.50% APY to make your money work for you. Just a reminder if you have a question or comment for a future Member Mailbag segment…
