The flip-flops that cost way more than $12 😅


Welcome back,

We’ve all been there. You swipe the card for something small like a $12 pair of flip-flops and think, “No big deal.”

But if it’s sitting on a high-interest credit card and only the minimum is being paid?
Those flip-flops are going to end up costing you a whole lot more.

In this week’s podcast episode, Jen, Meri-Li, and Sybil discuss something so many women in our community are struggling with right now: debt and how it affects not just our wallets but also our minds, our boundaries, and our relationships.

We’re opening up about:
✨ What makes debt so emotionally exhausting
✨ The sneaky way interest adds up fast
✨ How paying off debt creates freedom—not just financially, but mentally
✨ What it looks like to set boundaries with friends without guilt

Hey friend, This morning, I didn’t wake up grounded. I woke up buzzing, but not the good kind. It was one of those days where my mind raced faster than my feet could catch up.But I caught myself. Instead of rushing into my workday, I walked over to my grounding mat.I closed my eyes.Breathed in. Counted to four.Breathed out. Counted to four. Just 60 seconds. That’s all it took to feel human again. Here’s the thing: 🧠 When your brain is in a stress loop, your nervous system can’t tell the...
