How Victoria Devine Went From Hiding $40...

Victoria Devine
About this episode

You know Victoria Devine as your finance hype girl… but for the first time ever, she’s sharing the part of her story you’ve never heard. The one where she was $40k in debt, lying awake at night wondering how on earth she’d dig herself out, and how she turned it all around. 

This week, we’re going behind the scenes of V’s own money glow-up. How she went from maxed-out cards and money anxiety to complete financial freedom, and she’s not holding back. You’ll get the exact mindset shifts, money moves, and game-changing lessons she used, so you can steal them for yourself.

Inside her debt-free playbook:
💸 The moment V realised her debt wasn’t going to magically disappear (and what she did next)
💸 The first game-changing move she made to start turning it all around
💸 How she stayed motivated when the numbers felt way too big
💸 The sneaky spending habits she had to break... and the ones she kept
💸 The mindset shift that made paying off $40k feel possible
💸 The money habits V still uses today to stay completely debt-free
