Description:

In this empowering episode, Jamie Kienholz breaks down the real path to becoming debt-free — without the shame, stress, or spreadsheet overwhelm. Drawing from her own experience and biblical wisdom, Jamie dives deep into the emotional and spiritual roots of money, why debt keeps us stuck, and how to reclaim your peace and power one decision at a time.

You’ll learn how to face your numbers with confidence, pick a strategy that actually works for you, and shut out the noise of social media’s “buy more” culture. This episode will help you shift from emotional spending to intentional stewardship — and remind you that financial freedom starts in your mindset, not your wallet.
