Pretty Girls Have Medical Debt Too

TW: ED I'm having a little "quarter-life-reckoning" right now and girl it's so uncomfortable. I know I say all the time, "growth is uncomfortable," but being inside the actual moment of growth is so scary and confusing. Today I'm getting super vulnerable about how my finances have faired in the influencer economy and the reality behind my lifestyle. This year has humbled me, it really has. I know I'm being shaped into an even more vibrant version of myself, but it's not a pretty process. As you listen, I hope you feel seen or inspired in some way. You are not alone, xoxo, Beth

Call 1-800-656-4673 if you or a loved one needs help. xoxo, Bethany
