Sometimes these topics are addressed briefly during orientation, sometimes it does not. Why does it feel like, sometimes, we’re all we’ve got? And we’re kinda new here, but we ARE here.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis episode is the episode we KNOW we needed but didn’t know we needed! Let me introduce you to Lauryn! A four-time Olympic athlete, Lauryn is now a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), a Student Loan Advisor at Student Loan Planner , the owner of the financial firm, Worth Winning , AND a host of the Worth Listening podcast!

Looking to fill the void she once faced, Lauryn transitioned to financial planning, and now helps people in their 20s and 30s strategize and build financial plans that help tackle student loan debt, and plan for the future. So if you’re curious about what type of goals you should set, how to decrease your overhead and what’s required for baseline planning, tune in now! We’re leaving the Broke Phi Broke days behind with this episode! For some financial tips follow Lauryn’s business on IG @worth_winning and on Twitter @worthwinning .
