    Dr. Ezinwanne (Ezi) Ejesieme didn't build her dental practice from scratch, she bought a failed, patient-less office that needed a lot of work and turned it into a thriving business with a five-star reputation. In this episode, she breaks down what it actually costs to buy and rebuild a dental practice, why keeping overhead low matters more than any expensive equipment upgrade, how to tell a real mentor from an overpriced consultant, and how she built a team culture that respects her leadership as a young Black female business owner.

    8. From Debt to Paris: How My Sister Paid Off $33K, Got Fired, and Landed Her Dream in Paris

    For Wealth, Wellness and Womanhood's first podcast guest, it had to be none other than my sister Frances Uzoukwu. We're only 15 months apart (I'll let you guess who's older). I've always looked up to her discipline with money and how she bounces back from anything. She turned getting unceremoniously fired into her dream move, spending two years in Paris earning her MBA. Here's the part that even I couldn't believe. She invested 75% of her income to pay off $33,000 in student loan debt in less than two years! It's a masterclass in aggressive strategy, but it also meant real sacrifice. But here's what I loved most: she's honest about how her perspective on money has shifted. She still believes in financial discipline, but now she knows the balance matters too. You can't do it all at once, and life is meant to be enjoyed. If you're an ambitious woman trying to figure out your financial life, this episode is for you.
