Show Notes
Erin Skye Kelly is a multiple award-winning author who has helped thousands of people pay off millions of dollars in consumer debt and ultimately change their lives, through her online course, Get the Hell Out of Debt.
Erin has written two best-selling books:
Get The Hell Out Of Debt - The Proven 3-Phase Method That Will Radically Shift Your Relationship With Money
Naked Money Meetings - Ending Money Fights With Your Partner Forever
In spite of her terrible stage fright and general Canadian awkwardness, she has shared the stage with legendary motivational speakers such as Tony Robbins, Phil Town, and Gary John Bishop.
She wrote her first book, Get the Hell Out of Debt, after her own struggle to become free from consumer debt. She was tired of listening to middle-aged men in suits tell her to consolidate and refinance her debt when all that seemed to happen was she’d end up in more of it while they profited from it.
Her seminars and workshops are judgment-free zones made up of equal parts personal growth, rock concert, and love. She is hired to work with ordinary humans who want to achieve extraordinary things, and because of her track record helping people create a trajectory of success, the phrase she most often hears when people meet her for the first time is, “Wow. I thought you’d be taller.”
