Last blog I talked about how people need to eliminate the shame they feel around their debt in order to have the right mindset to pay it off. Essentially, to prepare to pay off debt, you must: Be out of survival mode and feeling like life has returned to (somewhat) normal Working from a place of…
There is so much shame attached to money problems, and debt in particular. “I should have known better…” “How could I have let it get this far?” “I’m so irresponsible…” “I can’t be trusted.” Whenever I speak with a potential client who is struggling to pay off debt (and it doesn’t matter how big the…

Multiple people have expressed concern about missing out on: Buying a home while real estate prices are low Buying a home in case…
We’ve all heard that money is a tool to help us get what we want, but… what do you want? Do you want to “treat-yo-self” because you’re only just tolerating the job you’re required to do? Do you shop online WAY too much because it’s easier to do that than it is to take a…
