In this episode of "The Money Mentor," we speak to Sarah and Steven, who share how their journey with Infinity has given them financial freedom and security in an uncertain world. They married young and had three beautiful children. But their lives changed forever when their youngest son was diagnosed at just four months old with a life threatening condition requiring 39 brain surgeries over 19 years. The financial toll was immense — crippling mortgage debt, credit cards used to cover medical bills, andhundreds of dollars lost to interest every single day - with no end in sight. A chance encounter with an Instagram reel changed everything, leading them to Infinity and a moment where they could finally see a way forward. In just over a year they slashed over $106,000 from their debt, cut years off their mortgage, and built a growing investment portfolio. When Steve was recently hit with a sudden health scare, the couple were able to face it from a place of financial strength rather than fear. Sarah and Steven's story is proof that no matter how heavy the load, the right plan changes everything.Ready to change your financial future?

Simone Gordon was a young single mother with a nonverbal autistic son and no job when she turned to Facebook and asked a simple question: can anyone help? Four women answered. One called a hospital. One paid off a community college debt. One showed up with a Chromebook. That small, improbable circle of women became the seed of the Black Fairy Godmother Foundation, and Simone has been building on it ever since.In this conversation, HeatherAsh and Simone talk about what it really took to go from desperate to determined, why the structure of giving matters as much as the giving itself, and how Simone learned — after a chronic illness, two volunteer deaths, and a public breakdown — that you cannot sustain a movement by running yourself into the ground.This one is worth sitting with. Simone's voice is steady and real, and there's a lot of truth in it about what women carry, what we're afraid to ask for, and what becomes possible when someone finally says: I see you. I care.Episode Highlights:How a Facebook post in 2016 started what would become a 10-year nonprofitWhy Medicaid puts children with disabilities to the bottom of hospital waitlists — and what Simone did about itThe thinking behind the wish list, the Christmas Angel program, and why dignity drives every program designWhat makes marginalized women say "no, thank you" to free help — and what that tells us about shameSimone's chronic illness, losing two close volunteers, and the moment she stopped being a people pleaserThe new rebrand: named programs, rest days, and giving flowers to the women who built it with herWhy three minutes of conversation can genuinely change someone's lifeResources & Links:Learn more about Simone and the Black Fairy Godmother Foundation:theblackfairygodmother.orgFollow Simone on Instagram:@theblackfairygodmotherofficialMeet Simone GordonSimone Gordon is the founder of the Black Fairy Godmother Foundation, a New Jersey-based 501(c)(3) that has distributed over $250,000 directly to families in need and served thousands of women since 2015. She has appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Good Morning America, and The Daily Blast LIVE. She is also a nursing student, a domestic violence survivor, and a mother — and she will tell you, without flinching, that none of those things are separate from each other.

Some years back, Connie Cherin was a guest on our podcast and talked about the non-profit she started, Partners for Care. Having supported PFC since then, I thought it was time to travel to Kenya and see firsthand the work PFC does.Connie arranged for the Kenya staff to take me to various locations where PFC provides services. While most of our trips were centered in Nairobi, PFC's presence extends to other counties across Kenya.The trip made me reflect on a comment by NYU professor Scott Galloway, who said the best decision he ever made was to be born in the United States. For me, growing up in a well-resourced neighborhood with supportive parents meant the path to success was always clear; all I had to do was apply myself.In contrast, life in Nairobi's informal settlements, or slums (a word used by Kenyans), is a daily struggle, almost beyond words. Despite the hardships, the people served by PFC are genuinely grateful and do not take anything for granted.On our first stop, we visited individuals who rely on mobility carts to get around. These are three-wheeled carts, powered by handles connected to the front wheel that the owner rotates. Kenyans face significant challenges with polio and cerebral palsy and collisions that result in a higher percentage of mobility-impaired people than in the US.These simple, U.S.-built wooden carts allow people who cannot walk to move about and earn a living—for example, by selling candies and ice treats. One cart recipient told me he earns about 7,000 shillings per month (approximately $55 US), enough to cover his expenses.We also visited a preschool. Over 300 youngsters, all in uniform and smiling, greeted us. What joy! We visited the school to see that it uses WaterSafe packs PFC distributes. Most water in Kenya is undrinkable, and even when people have access to safe water, they often don't have a safe way to transport it. The WaterSafe packs solve the problem.We visited a remote village to see how PFC is helping mothers treat their children for parasitic fleas and how mosquito nets provide protection at night. After that, we visited a PFC computer school and visited with women who have learned to sew and earn a living by making clothes.

Some people spend their lives following a single path… and others find a way to turn every season of life into something meaningful. Today's guest is someone who has done exactly that. Amy Pulliam has spent more than 25 years in the classroom shaping young minds, encouraging students, and helping children discover who they are and what they're capable of becoming. But her story doesn't stop there. In many ways, it's just entering a new chapter. Amy is now a children's book author, the creative force behind Mos Kitty & Co., and someone who continues to teach—just in a different way—through stories that inspire imagination, character, and heart. Along the way, she's also earned her doctorate, pursued new personal challenges like completing a half marathon at Disney, and remained grounded in a faith that continues to guide her purpose. This is a conversation about more than education… it's about growth, reinvention, and the courage to keep stepping into what's next. So whether you're an educator, a parent, or someone who believes it's never too late to write a new chapter in your life, I think you're going to find something in Amy's story that resonates.
