On today's podcast Selena shares her journey to overcoming $35,000 worth of debt after a broken engagement. She shares her mistakes to ensure more women have a way out of relationships, can financially stand on their own feet after separation or know how to address poor money choices in relationships. In 2022 Selena's engagement ended after making many poor money choices in the 6 years she and her finance were together.
