The Predatory Forces Behind Credit Card Debt w/ Debt Heads

Subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Are you or a loved one in credit card debt? Then this episode is for you. 

I sat down with debt journalists Jamie Feldman and Rachel Gayle Webster to discuss the biggest finding from their year-long investigation into America’s $2.27T credit card debt crisis. They host the award winning podcast Debt Heads, which chronicles their investigation in debt. And the villain isn’t who you think.

We cover:

• Why the economy literally depends on you staying in debt
• The 1978 Supreme Court decision that created America's debt crisis (Marquette National Bank of Minneapolis v. First of Omaha Service Corp.)
• Why the "get out of debt" industry needs you to stay in debt
• How your childhood shapes your relationship with money before you were old enough to know it
• The hidden connection between debt, shame, and belonging
• How to stop blaming yourself and start seeing the full picture

If this resonated, please share it with someone who is on their unshaming journey.
