28: It’s Time to Fix Your Bad Credit — Come Rip The Band-Aid Off, with Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

We get it, sometimes you want to dig your head in the sand to avoid the awkward (+ slightly painful) conversations about your personal finances. But, it’s time to rip the bandaid off, and fix your credit!!

In today’s episode, Zuri is opening up about how paralyzed and fearful she felt in her early 20s, when it came to paying off her debt and re-building her credit health. From her traumatic experience of having the toughest time trying to finance a new car (despite making 6 figs!) and how it was the wake-up call she needed to change her life and take control of her finances (won’t He do it?!)…

If you’re ready to change your life, stick around, because Zuri is sitting down with America’s Favorite Finacial Educator, Tiffany Aliche aka The Budgetnista -- and we’re DIVING DEEP into the credit of it all! Tiffany is breaking it down and schoolin’ us on how to Get Good With Money! She explains wth a FICO score even is; why credit is so important; the ideal credit score you need to buy a house; how to raise your credit score WITHOUT a credit card (you will LOVE these hacks); and why we need to say HELL NO to cash advances!

Next, in our signature “Real Woman, Real Story” segment -- Z chats with Korbyn Lloyd who shares how she paid off $130,000 of debt in 26 months, just in time for her 30th birthday. Korbyn takes us through the budgeting hacks she learned, and why she picked up a side-hustle (while working a full-time job!).

All that sound good to you? Fantastic. Hit play and tune in, because the keys to financial freedom are within your grasp and the first thing you gotta do is leap into the mess that is your debt and begin the journey to fix your life!

Show notes

Do you feel stuck, unfulfilled in your career, and tired of pretending that everything is greeatttt?! -_- Well, this episode was made just for you! Today, Zuri is chatting with ‘Millennial Therapist’ Tess Brigham, a psychotherapist + certified life coach -- about how we can take back control of our lives and design the life we’ve always dreamed of!

Next, the Group Chat girls (Cleo, Leah, + Star) are getting vulnerable and sharing their POVs on how (or IF) they've even found their passions; the pressure of living up to parental expectations; and open up about the tools they’ve used to overcome career burnout and why setting boundaries is the key to their mental health!

You’re gonna love how real this convo gets (not to mention the tangent about starting an OnlyFans side hustle... oh, and opening an escort service). HOW did they get there? (but also... tell us more??!)
