252 | The Danger of Rushing to Get Out of Debt

In 2016, I was a wife, new mom, and junior Biglaw associate with over $670,000 of debt and a negative $342,000 net worth.

By the end of 2021, my husband and I had paid off almost $500,000 of that debt (the total of our student loans) and now only have our mortgage remaining.

I’ve since left the law to focus on helping lawyers master their mindset and their personal finances and unlock the power that comes with having complete control of their money.

In this podcast, I’m giving you the knowledge you need to create more freedom in your life by improving your mindset and managing your money better.
