#104 Today I'm talking with author and financial literacy and mental health advocate, Natalie Torres-Haddad. As an immigrant and first-generation college student, Natalie had a tremendous challenge dealing with her student loan debt after college. She learned the hard way how her financial health directly impacts her mental health, but now she teaches people of all ages how to be financially savvy.
