What if you could afford everything you truly want—without constantly stressing over money? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Darla Bishop, financial expert and author of How to Afford Everything, to break down the real way to manage money, pay off debt, and create financial freedom without sacrificing the things that bring you joy.

Darla shares how she went from reading over 100 personal finance books to writing her own—one that actually empowers people rather than shaming them for their financial past. We dive into debt payoff strategies, wealth-building mindsets, and why increasing your income is just as important as budgeting.

If you’ve ever felt like financial advice doesn’t fit your reality, or you’re tired of feeling like money is holding you back, this conversation will change the way you think about affording your dream life.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why most personal finance advice misses the mark for real people ✅ The best debt payoff strategy to build momentum fast ✅ How to create more financial flexibility (without extreme budgeting) ✅ The power of increasing your income instead of just cutting expenses ✅ Why FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) isn’t for everyone—and that’s okay! ✅ How to afford everything that actually matters in your life
