She was paying off debt. Building nothing. And telling herself she'd start investing "when this was done."

In this episode, Dr. Latifat sits down with Dr. Valerie, a psychiatrist and 6 to 7 alum who grew up in a family where money was never discussed and spent years unknowingly delaying her own wealth because of it. In just a few months inside the program, everything shifted. She opened a Vanguard account. Converted her rental to a hybrid short-term and midterm property. Paid off her car and kept it. And negotiated her way into a telepsych position that pays her $60,000 more than she was making three months ago.

This one is full of real numbers, real mindset shifts, and real talk.

In this episode:

Growing up where money was taboo, even with a CPA sister in the family
The "finish this first" trap that kept Dr. Valerie stuck for years
Why paying off debt while building zero wealth is not a strategy
How she went from accepting whatever salary she was offered to negotiating $60K more
Switching to telepsych: earning more, working from home, and reclaiming her afternoons
The foster care dream she's never shared publicly — until now
Why your life should be an asset, not just your investments

"I wasn't building wealth. I was just paying off debt. But I could be doing both."
