Summary

Today's guest has a very cool title. She is a motivational cartoonist. What does that mean? She combines her love of drawing cartoons and helping others with their finances in the blog, Empowered Dollar. The blog chronicles the cartoon version of Steph complete in green tights and all to fight "the debt monster" in order to achieve financial freedom. Steph has been drawing since she can remember and added the personal finance expert to her work after she graduated from college with over $30,000 of debt to her name. She was making barely minimum wage and knew something had to change in order to become debt free. That's when she started her journey to financial freedom with her blog to chronicle how she was able to pay off almost $35,000 in student loans in just under four years.
