Ep 39 - Struggling with Money? How Paying Off Debt Improved My Health, Energy, and Work-Life Balance

If you’ve ever felt like debt or money stress is draining your energy, robbing your peace of mind, and even affecting your health — you’re not imagining it.

 

It’s easy to overlook our finances when we think about healthy habits. But money stress is one of the biggest drains on your energy and well-being. And getting in a better place financially can help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

 

In this episode, I share my personal debt journey and how paying off $90,000 of debt in just one year transformed more than just my finances. It gave me back time, energy, better work-life balance, and a renewed sense of freedom I didn’t know was possible.

 

Whether you’re feeling burned out in your career, overwhelmed by financial stress, or just stuck in survival mode, this episode will help you see how getting intentional about your financial health can unlock a healthier, more balanced life.

 

You’ll learn:

 

🔸 How paying off debt can improve your mental health, your relationships, and even your physical health.

 

🔸 How getting rid of debt gives you more options — even if cutting work hours isn’t possible.

 

🔸 Why burnout is common earlier in your career than you might think.

 

🔸 Why a “gazelle-like intensity” sprint toward debt freedom often works better than slowly chipping away. (Thank you, Dave Ramsey!)

 

As you work on building healthier habits, don’t forget about your financial health — because getting that part of your life in order can open the door to more peace, more freedom, more health, and more time for the things and people that matter most.
