The Broke Girl Society Podcast

For me, one of the scariest things about stepping out of the chaos of my gambling addiction was the financial mess I had created from the years of this addiction. I've had this conversation with so many others in the recovery community. I reached out to Lauren and asked if she would like to come share her story and wisdom on the podcast and she said, YES! Listen in as she talks about her own struggles with spending and how she was able to get herself out of thousands of dollars of debt. There's also a little bit of girl crushing going on!

Check out Lauren's website here: https://www.laurengreutman.com/ She has online courses and videos to help you build a plan to get your financial situation sorted out. She also offers one on one coaching. Also, be sure check out her podcast Hard Money Talks and her book The Recovering Spender.
