In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!

There are a ton of money stories out there. Stories about people who are screwed financially through no fault of their own. People who did everything right and still cannot get a leg up. This episode is not one of those. It’s an excavation of a specific kind of debt, and a specific kind of shame. The kind that Jamie Feldman found herself in when she was 33 years old: credit card debt.

Resources: 


  • Average credit card debt in the U.S.

  • Information on emotional spending

  • Find Jamie on TikTok and Instagram @RealGirlProject.
