Breaking Free From Debt Without Guilt or Shame
Are you ready to change your relationship with your debt? Join us for a candid conversation with seasoned Latina money expert Jannese Torres, the creative mind behind the “Yo Quiero Dinero” podcast. This award-winning podcast aims to empower people of color to break free from the chains of debt, become entrepreneurs, and achieve financial independence.
In this episode, you’ll learn two strategies for paying down debt, what to know about Annual Percentage Rates (APRs), and how to compassionately confront debt. You’ll also learn more about Jannese, a former engineer who quit her job to focus on her food blog, which now brings her $10,000 a month in passive income alone. She shares content on social media motivating fellow Latinas to learn more about money, and interviews inspiring POC leaders who share real stories from their money journey.
Cindy also invites her cousin Barbara for a thoughtful talk on developing a debt payoff strategy that prioritizes mental wellness. Don’t miss this intimate episode that will transform the way you view and conquer debt.
Journal prompts:
- Sit down and compassionately confront how much you owe in debt. As Jannese suggested, ask yourself: “What brought me here?”
- Take note of what the debt did for you. What steps can you take to create a debt payoff plan that prioritizes your mental health?
- How does breaking free from debt align with your goals? Know your “why.”
