In her entry @leashybeefit shared:
“My favorite episode has got to be the ‘Fixing Bad Credit’ episode with The Budgetnista and Korbyn. Not only did I learn so much about how to handle debt and go about paying off things like student loans and the ins/outs about debt, (Tiffany is literally one of my favorite Black inspirational women 😍) but I got to hear a story about paying off debt from someone who’s ‘’normal/real’ which I thought was amazing.
Hearing Korbyn’s story led me to her podcast and IG, only to find out we knew each other from way back in the day in the same hometown!!! It’s crazy and wild that Hot Happy Mess made that connection for me, and just adds another reason why I absolutely love this podcast and continue to be a huge fan!”
