In today's episode, I chat with Lauryn Williams, a financial expert and Olympian, about creating a plan to manage your student loans and take control of your money. Student loans can feel overwhelming, but they don't have to hold you back. Lauryn shares insights into federal repayment options, the importance of building a comprehensive financial plan, and why shame shouldn’t stop you from taking action. Together, we discuss strategies that can save you thousands and put you on the path to financial freedom. Let’s get your money right, starting today!
