Let’s rewind to the beginning of our debt-free journey—back when I thought paying off six figures of debt would be simple, linear, and honestly… a little more glamorous.

Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the three biggest things I wish someone had told me before we even got started. These aren’t the kind of tips you find in a finance textbook. These are the behind-the-scenes lessons that shaped me emotionally, mentally, and practically and completely changed how I see money (and myself).

No matter if you're just getting started, feeling stuck halfway through, or trying to get back on track after taking a break, this episode is your reminder that you don’t need a perfect budget or a big paycheck to make real progress.
