From Deep Debt to Stability: Michelle Campbell’s Money Story

Money is never just about numbers; it is about identity, belonging, and whether you feel you have options. In this candid conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with financial services professional, author, and nonprofit founder Michelle Campbell to trace her journey from five evictions, four repossessions, three bankruptcies, and over half a million dollars in debt to becoming a fierce advocate for financial literacy and social change. 

 

Together, they unpack the emotional roots of overspending, why shame and silence keep people stuck, and how working-class earners are often the most overlooked when it comes to support and education. You will hear how Michelle connected her money patterns to a childhood wound, rebuilt her financial life by facing every envelope and every number, launched her nonprofit Hashtag Stability to serve people facing homelessness and financial crisis, and now uses tax law, planning, and advocacy to help others avoid the traps she fell into.
