Ever feel the uncontrollable urge to spend? I used to do this very expensive thing in college as a way to distract myself from studying. I would go to the 24 hour market below my dorm that sold all sorts of things - food, clothes, accessories, etc. And I would usually buy something. I was killing time by spending money. I was too scared to face my homework so I did the irrational and spent. I spent with emotion.  And thousands of credit card dollars later, I had to find a way to get myself out of debt as a new college graduate. Yay! Today's guest is a recovering spender who, along with her husband, found herself in $40,000 worth of debt. Lauren Greutman is here and she wants to help people going through the same situation. She has a new book coming out soon that you can pre-order now, The Recovering Spender: How to Live a Happy, Fulfilled, Debt-Free Life. In the book, Lauren shares advice on how to curb spending habits and how to get out of debt. We face a lot of financial pressures in today's world, so she talks about that, too. Lauren and her husband Mark actually joined me on So Money before... they were episode 58 so go back and take a listen if you may have missed that one.

We've heard so much about the importance of sleep as of late... earlier this summer I had Arianna Huffington on the show talking about the #SleepRevolution. Sleep is trending people. Well, today I have another sleep coach joining us. Christine Hansen is with us all the way from Luxembourg. Last year, she left a career in education and now coaches successful and career driven women, and men, on how to get a solid night's sleep. Waking up refreshed means more energy which means you're ready to take on whatever comes your way both at work and in your personal life. Christine's approach involves no medication and she works to address the whole picture not just one piece of the puzzle. She's an international expert and has been featured in numerous publications including the Huffington Post. In the interview we discuss how does more sleep equate to more money? And how can we get more sleep once and for all? Plus, do the rich have an easier time packing in those precious 8 hours of sleep? For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. Hosted on Acast.
