Blethered

Tommy’s back for a follow up to our first conversation where we unpacked the stigma that exists around debt, how people fall into it in the first place, and the options available to help you to resolve it.We discuss the reaction to that conversation and how people got in touch for help after listening...We look at different definitions of ‘struggling with debt’ and how you don’t need to keep living miserably...And we dismantle the notion that debt is anything to be embarrassed about, it happens to almost everyone and can be fixed.www.dontfretaboutdebt.net/blethered/Tickets for Blethered LIVE at St Luke's Glasgow: gigss.co/bletheredContact: seanmcdonald.podcast@gmail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01 Hosted on Acast.
