What does it take to build real wealth when you've never seen it modeled? When the only money lesson you grew up with was "pay your bills and you'll be okay"?

Walli Miller did it anyway, and now she's teaching other women to do the same.

Walli is a Bronx-born, first-generation millionaire, financial coach, early retiree, and the founder of Financially Thriving. In this episode, she and Lisa Marie go deep on rewriting inherited money beliefs, reframing debt from shame to strategy, the identity shift from spender to saver to wealth builder, and what financial independence actually means, and how to get there.

If you've ever wondered whether wealth is even possible for someone with your background, this conversation is the answer.
