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.
