EP 112 | Profit Boss® Radio
We’ve got an excellent Everyday Heroines episode for you this week on Profit Boss® Radio. This time I’m speaking with Kelly, whose lax money habits from her early 20s landed her in a stressful 25-year cycle of debt and uncertainty. Now, having sought help to finally improve her understanding of money and establish healthy spending and saving, she’s debt-free.
This episode is a great one for anybody wrestling with feelings of failure or inadequacy around money, but it’s also educational for you parents out there who are wondering how to ensure that your children don’t grow up with a sense of entitlement around finances. Kelly and I touch on the technical aspects of getting out of debt, but her insights on the emotional side of money is especially helpful.
In the interview, Kelly takes us through her early money memories and the reasons she hated focusing on money. She talks about what those 25 years of constant debt were like, and how she finally reached out to a financial coach who helped her reform her treatment of money.
Kelly’s story is an inspiring example of how the right mindset, tools, and support can help you clear away debt faster than you might imagine.
