This week, Ash is joined by Leslie Tayne, a seasoned financial attorney, debt resolution expert, and author of Life and Debt, to unpack the emotional and practical layers of debt– and how to overcome it with clarity, confidence, and courage.

Leslie and Ash dive deep into the psychological toll debt can take, from shame and denial to impulsive decision-making. Leslie shares how her personal journey into financial law revealed just how little people know about their rights and how powerful education and self-advocacy can be in breaking free from financial overwhelm. She reveals why communication, transparency, and a non-judgmental approach are essential to navigating debt-related stress.

But that's just the beginning. Leslie provides actionable steps for both individuals and business owners, including how to negotiate credit card debt, understand contract fine print, and make smarter decisions in high-interest environments. Whether you're facing personal debt, managing business finances, or simply want to feel more in control of your money, this episode is a must-listen for building long-term financial resilience.
