Break Free from Debt: A No-BS Guide to P...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

Are you ready to get rid of debt but don't know where to start? In this vault episode, I explain how to think about debt, strategies to pay it off, and why being completely debt-free should never be the goal. Just a quick note: this episode is not just for newbies. As a financial planner, I worked with people of all ages who couldn’t figure out how to handle debt. So, you are not alone if you’re struggling with debt. You'll learn the two strategies to pay off debt, how to deal with the emotions around debt, and a deep dive into my debt story.
