201: Ditch your Debt without Drama with ...

Paige Pritchard
About this episode

If you’ve been carrying the weight of debt—quietly, shamefully, and alone—this episode is your invitation to lay it down and start fresh.

In this detailed and empowering conversation, I sit down with Leslie Tayne, an attorney and the auhtor of Life & Debt. Leslie has spent over 20 years helping people shift their mindset around debt and she believes debt doesn’t have to be a source of shame but something we can manage with confidence.

Together, we unpack the truth about debt—not as a moral failure, but as a solvable piece of your wealth-building journey.

Inside the episode, we explore:

  • How to shift from avoidance and anxiety into acceptance and clear action

  • Why the path to debt freedom isn’t one-size-fits-all—and how to find what actually works for you

  • The first small but powerful steps you can take to stop spiraling and start stabilizing

  • The biggest debt mistakes high-achieving women make (and what to do instead)

  • A real conversation on credit cards: perks, points, and whether they’re worth the cost

  • The do’s and don’ts of debt settlement (including red flags and realities)

  • How to know when it’s time to bring in professional support—and who you can actually trust

Whether your debt feels like a dull background hum or a daily panic, this episode will leave you feeling seen, equipped, and grounded in your power.

All of Leslie's information can be found in the shownotes below. Enjoy!
