Danielle Reghi graduated from OCOM with $220,000 in student loan debt: a number she didn't borrow, but accumulated through compounding interest nobody explained to her. In 2021 she filed a Borrower's Defense application. Four and a half years later, she received full discharge of every loan under her name.

In this episode, Danielle, owner of Zen Space Acupuncture in Portland and current president of the Oregon Association of Acupuncturists, talks about building a multi-location practice from $24,000 a year, what a realistic living wage looks like for an acupuncturist, and why she thinks the cost of acupuncture education is the single biggest threat to the profession's future.
