Are you ready to feel inspired? In this episode of Female Fluence, we are privileged to have Doina Oncel, a remarkable leader, to share her inspiring journey. From shelter life to becoming one of Canada’s most powerful leaders, Diona’s story is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Despite this daunting predicament, it is crucial to remember that rising from homelessness to homeownership is a realistic possibility. Countless individuals have successfully transitioned from a state of destitution to self-sufficiency, demonstrating the potential for overcoming such hardships. The situation becomes even more complicated when you factor in the additional challenge of abuse. Too often, victims who leave their abusive partner due to domestic abuse often experience homelessness.
With a stable job and affordable housing secured, financial education is a key factor in maintaining and eventually improving one's situation. Taking classes on budgeting, financial planning, and homeownership can be invaluable. Many local community centers, credit unions, and non-profit organizations offer these services free of charge. This is where a financial advisor comes in! As you will hear in the episode, Doina is a licensed financial advisor. Doina also shares that there are financial advisors who are willing to help those in need at no upfront cost to assist in stabilizing the financial life of the client.
Certainly, this journey is not easy and it requires a great deal of determination, discipline, and patience. However, with the right resources and support, rising from homelessness to homeownership is not only possible, but also achievable. For those who experienced the challenges of being a struggling immigrant, surviving an abusive relationship, or enduring life in a homeless shelter, Doina’s story is a powerful reminder that dreams can be realized by following the inner voice that guides and inspires us.
