I’m excited to introduce MICHELLE CAMPBELL, a passionate advocate for social change, personal transformation, and financial literacy. She’s the founder of the social services nonprofit #Stability, which focuses on supporting individuals facing homelessness through critical resources and financial education. Michelle’s new memoir, BLUEBIRD: A Memoir of Trauma, Heartbreak and Divine Beauty in the Struggle | [February 4, 2025], is a powerful reflection on her own journey of resilience, revealing how personal struggles and financial hardship shaped her path–and how understanding money became the key to turning her life around.

I’d love to book Michelle for an interview on Whiplash Talk to discuss the long-term impact of financial illiteracy and how the wrong decisions early on can lead to a lifetime of financial troubles. Through her personal experience and life’s work, Michelle offers actionable steps listeners can take to improve their financial health, break free from cycles of economic instability and reclaim control over their lives.

Financial illiteracy isn’t just about making poor spending decisions or a lack of long-term preparation—it’s a hidden barrier that keeps people trapped in poverty, limits opportunities, and impacts mental health. Michelle’s work with #Stability has shown that teaching financial literacy can be transformative, especially for vulnerable populations. Her insights go beyond budgeting tips; she addresses the systemic issues that perpetuate financial inequality and provides practical, relatable advice for overcoming them. Your audience will gain not only inspiration from her story but also real strategies they can apply immediately to start building a more secure future.

Suggested questions and talking points for your interview with Michelle might include:

What lessons from your memoir do you hope will resonate most with readers?

What’s the most rewarding part of your work—both as an advocate and as an author?

Michelle’s expertise is rooted in both lived experience and professional knowledge. As an enrolled agent credentialed in federal taxation, she has a unique understanding of the financial systems that affect individuals on both personal and systemic levels. Her advocacy efforts continue to influence change across communities.
