When you hear the word budget, do you cringe a little bit? Like oh, that sounds like a diet, or restriction, and doesn't sounds fun at all.

If so, you're not alone because I tend to agree with you. I think you're going to really benefit from today's conversation with Cindy Zuniga-Sanchez. She shares with us how she has reframed the word "budget" to help herself overcome over $200,000 of debt in less than two years. I love her story and how practical it is and I love how simple she makes the process of getting started, which is often the hardest part of this journey.

Cindy is a Bronx native. She's a former commercial litigation attorney and she underwent her own journey to pay off $215,000 of debt in 48 months. During the process, she adopted a mission to self-educate on the topic of finance and money management. She ended up documenting her journey through social media and she applied the lessons she learned, helping others through her social media following. Eventually, she began offering private coaching services.

Cindy has spoken to thousands and coaches hundreds on the subjects of budgeting, savings, debt payoff, investing, and wealth-building. She's committed to helping millennial women, particularly women of color, create realistic money plans to achieve their own financial freedom.
