In this episode of 'Keep Rising with Kristy Kuhl,' I discuss important financial strategies with nationally recognized personal finance expert Bernadette Joy. The conversation covers Bernadette's journey of paying off $300,000 in debt within three years and her passion for helping others achieve financial independence.

Bernadette provides invaluable advice on dealing with current economic issues like tariffs and inflation, emphasizing the importance of basic financial practices such as stacking cash and paying off credit card debt.

 Additionally, Bernadette and I explore the psychological aspects of financial management, including self-worth, handling negative feedback, and building financial habits that lead to long-term success.
