Whippin Debt's Ass

About the Author: Stenell Greene-Myers

Stenell Greene-Myers is a multidisciplinary thought leader, survivor, educator, author, advocate, socialpreneur, counselor, financial coach, podcast host, and speaker. Her superpower lies in her unwavering commitment, tenacity, and vision to help individuals, families, and entrepreneurs pinpoint their strengths, combine them with hard work, and create lasting CHANGE.

The Survivor

Raised in Camden, New Jersey, by a single mother, Stenell became a teenage mother of three children. She is a survivor of domestic violence and divorce, having experienced a youth searching for love in the wrong places. Despite these challenges, she chose to reject the stigmas often associated with at-risk single mothers in the inner city, transforming her experiences into her greatest strength.

The Educator

Committed to higher education, Stenell holds a master’s degree in mental health counseling. She has taught at Drexel University in the Behavioral Healthcare Counseling Department and at Camden County College in various psychology and addiction counseling and training courses. Stenell leverages her expertise in mental health, behavioral psychology, and developmental disabilities to teach and train educators.

The Author

Combining her passion for entrepreneurship and building healthy relationships, Stenell authored Who’s Gonna Pay the Mortgage? A Woman’s Guide to Relationship Recovery in 2010. She has also published Whippin Debt’s Ass! and created I-Female magazine, designed to inspire, motivate, and empower women.

The Advocate

In 2012, Stenell co-created the I Am a Survivor Gala, honoring women who have overcome significant life challenges. Her most impactful contribution to helping youth and adults overcome obstacles was the creation of JOY (Just Our Youth: Making a Difference) in 2015. JOY is a non-profit afterschool program focused on academic enrichment and helping families break the cycle of poverty through educational and career achievement.

The Socialpreneur

In 2015, Stenell founded A Second Touch, a Support Coordination service funded by the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities. This service assists individuals in accessing essential programs and services. In 2020, she expanded A Second Touch to include Direct Support Professionals (DSP), providing assistance to adults with physical and intellectual disabilities in daily living activities.

The Counselor

Stenell’s dedication to counseling led her to establish and operate A Better Me Incorporated from 2017 to 2021. In partnership with the New Jersey Children’s System of Care (CSOC), this program offered integrated, trauma-informed counseling services to youth with behavioral health challenges.

The Financial Coach

After personally paying off $50,000 in debt in 11 months, Stenell reinvented her passion for helping others by becoming a financial coach. Living by the motto, “If your personal finances are not in order, your business finances will not be in order,” she completed Dave Ramsey’s Financial Coach Master Training. In 2018, she launched the Money Therapy Institute, a remote coaching program dedicated to helping families become debt-free and overcome poverty. Stenell developed a tailored financial spreadsheet treatment and behavior plan to guide individuals and couples toward budgeting success. This expertise also extends to helping existing business owners and startups develop financial success plans.

Podcast Host

To create a platform for sharing insights on finances, relationships, and mental health, Stenell launched the No More Excuses. Wake Up! podcast in 2020. The podcast features interviews and discussions on money, entrepreneurship, and essential life skills that are often not taught.

The Speaker

Stenell now uses her story of empowerment to inspire teens and adults to overcome barriers. She is a sought-after speaker who educates and trains audiences on entrepreneurship and achieving debt freedom.
