Debt Crisis: What to Say (and What Not to Say) to Someone You Care About

When someone you care about is in a debt crisis, knowing how to help without making things worse is harder than it sounds. In this episode, I break down what to say (and what not to say) to someone going through a financial crisis—and how your support can be the thing that helps them find a way out.

We’ll talk about why a debt crisis isn’t just about money—it’s about fear, shame, and feeling stuck. And I’ll show you how to avoid the common emotional traps that lead to bad decisions and lasting regret.

If you’re facing a debt crisis yourself, or you’re trying to help someone else through it, this episode is for you.
