Show Notes
We chose this episode for an encore because Suzanne’s story is a powerful reminder that getting your money handled can change far more than your bank balance.
What happens when a capable, high-achieving woman realizes her biggest financial issue isn’t income or intelligence…it’s avoidance. Suzanne walks through the mindset shifts, habits, and decisions that helped her move from overwhelmed to steady, and from debt stress to long-term planning, thanks to Erin and Get The Hell Out Of Debt.

Erin and Keri get candid about money, birth, identity, partnership, uncertainty, and the difference between wanting a baby and wanting the lifelong assignment that follows.
A full-time teacher wants to launch a porch bakery, eliminate the family’s debt, and help her husband retire fully within three years.
