Debt can quietly shape your confidence, boundaries, and career choices. In this episode, Lauren talks with Arden Missal, founder of She’s Financially Free, about how financial pressure keeps many women playing small at work—and how to start making career decisions from confidence instead of fear.

You’ll learn:

How money stress impacts negotiation, overwork, and risk-taking
The difference between being practical and being fear-led
Mindset shifts to build financial confidence—even before you’re debt-free
