On this episode of RE:WEALTH Live, we sat down with Chasity Melvin, a former WNBA all-star and one of the first women to ever coach men at the professional level, for a wealth story that started in an under-resourced county in North Carolina. She talked about growing up the daughter of a preacher, living in a trailer until she was thirteen while her parents quietly saved to build their first home outright, long before that was the norm, and how a basketball scholarship became her family’s real first taste of something far bigger.
We also got into what nobody tells you about retiring from professional sports: Chasity walked away from the game at thirty nine with no plan in place, chasing internships in her late thirties just to figure out what came next.
And she closed with a distinction we don’t hear enough: why she refuses to let wealth and success mean the same thing, and what that reframe has done for her peace of mind.
These conversations are about so much more than money, they’re about expanding our understanding of wealth through community, belonging, ownership, and possibility.
