Imagine walking away from intently paying off $148,000 of debt to pursue your dreams.

Today’s guest is one that motivates the heck out of me. Kayla Sloan is the founder of ShoeAholicNoMore.com where she writes about money, intentional living, and getting out of debt. She’s also a podcaster at FinancialConversation.com. Kayla has a fascinating story about walking away from intently paying off $148,000 in debt to pursue her dream of full-time entrepreneurship.

In this episode we talk about the reason she started Shoe Aholic No More, the time she was laying in bed not able to sleep because she didn’t know if she had enough money in her account for groceries, how she created a very successful career as a freelancer, why she’s not a fan of job boards, and even heartfelt advice on how to pursue your career as a freelancer.

Stick around to the end too, because Kayla really opens up and shares how she used shopping as an outlet to helping her feel better about a painful divorce.
