Ep.66 In this episode of Nurses With Voices, Dr. Lendra  sits down with Grace Mei-Yen Foo , a nurse of nearly 40 years turned financial strategist—to confront the silent crisis facing nurses: financial fragility.

The conversation highlights the growing crisis of medical debt, the need for accessible financial planning, and the potential for generational wealth through informed financial decisions. Together, they uncover:

  • The hidden cost of traditional retirement plans (and what to use instead)

  • How to leverage living benefits in life insurance to avoid medical bankruptcy

  • Why most nurses insure their phones, but not their income

  • What the Rockefellers can teach us about legacy wealth—and how everyday nurses can follow suit

  • A real-life example of how Grace is funding her granddaughter’s college tax-free

Whether you’re feeling stuck in the paycheck-to-paycheck grind or looking for smarter ways to grow your money, this episode is your wake-up call.
