Show Summary:

In this special episode, I’m talking directly to students and new grads about navigating student loan debt—and for the first time, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at a project my husband and I have been quietly building to support healthcare professionals in personal finance. If you know you’ll graduate with loans (or you’re already there), we’re breaking down:

✅ Practical money moves you can make before graduation

✅ Why tracking your loans matters more than you think

✅ Smart strategies to cut down on borrowing

✅ How to financially prepare for life after graduation

✅ Why entrepreneurship belongs in the conversation

✅ An exclusive first look at our new business venture!

If you’re a student, new grad, or just navigating finances as a healthcare professional, this episode is packed with actionable advice and encouragement to help you feel more confident with your money.
