Hi there!  In this episode I talk about a new direction for this podcast.  I want to begin speaking from the heart about my personal experience with being in debt for so long.  As you hear each episode, my hope is that you will decide to kick start your debt free journey much sooner that I have.  I am cheering for you!

If you have not yet heard of the Debt Snowball Method, listen to this podcast episode.  If you have heard of the Debt Snowball Method, listen to this podcast episode anyway as I share with you 5 keys to success as you are paying off your debt using this method!

If you would like to consider a system to follow in your debt free journey, head over to daveramsey.com and find out more details about the course I took called Financial Peace University.

Encouraging you,

Grace Rehman

In this episode, we will be brave and finally deal with those pesky credit card and student loan debt by facing them and physically laying them out (the statements) in front of us. We need to assess our current situation so that we can begin our debt free journey.  

You got this!  I believe in you!- Grace

It's as old as time:  making excuses!  We can live our whole lives making excuses and never gain traction to move forward.  We can make lots of excuses why we can't have more control over our personal finances but how will doing so benefit us in the long run?  Let's squash excuse-making in 2020!  You got this!

New year, new journey!

After my story in episode 1, I thought it would be great to follow up by discussing "mindset".  What is it and will it help us see our personal finances a different way?  Listen up and find out!

I have referred to the following books below.  I relied heavily on Carol Dweck's research throughout the episode.
