Repeat after us: Personal Finance IS Sexy! Budgeting, getting out of debt, and fixing your credit score should be at the top of your list, if you want to have peace of mind AND build wealth!

If talking about money makes you nervous (or want to put your head in the sand), fear not -- because this week Zuri is opening up about her personal finance journey.... and keeping it real about the good, bad, and ugly of her journey to building wealth + financial freedom. 

Then Z is chatting with nationally recognized money expert, Stefanie O’Connell — who not only shares smart practical solutions on how to take control of your money, and make it work for you... Stefanie also shares why we should lead from empathy instead of shame when it comes to personal finance; and how to prioritize your money goals, even when you’re living paycheck to paycheck. 

Stefanie also answers YOUR questions about credit, how to rebuild your finances after divorce, and whether you should mix money and relationships (especially if one of you is a spender, and the other a saver)! 

Make sure you stay ‘til the end for this week’s ‘Party Trick’: The app you NEED to download, that is designed to change the way you think about money and to radically change the circumstances of money in your life! Sign us up for that!!
