AB 12: LIZ – How she didn't let debt stop her from creating a full and fruitful life.

Kristine welcomes guest Liz Femi who shares the wisdom she has gained from a decade spent building her business muscles and shifting her stories around what was possible for her.

She left that institution with a Master's degree in English Education and an MFA in acting, and (you guessed it) a mountain of student loan debt. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, she was juggling a handful of part-time jobs, slowly burning out, and wondering if she would ever be able to enjoy a life of creativity and contentment.

AB 14: RUTHY – How she embraced a community and created multiple streams of income.

Kristine welcomes guest Ruthy Otero who shares how she grew beyond her initial shame around not knowing what she "thought she should know" about money to becoming one of the first Abundance Bound course facilitators for the Financial Empowerment Program As it is for so many of us, Ruthy's family of origin wasn't able to offer much in the way of solid financial guidance – especially in relation to her life as an artist and non-traditional earner. So she chose to seek out a community that understands the challenges of having income that fluctuates and that provides a space where it feels safe to be a beginner without any judgement.

Over time, her relationship with money matured into one filled with much more clarity, intimacy, and kindness. Full show notes and more info here: https://abundancebound.com/the-podcast/
