When we started working on this podcast back in April, our team wanted to accomplish a few things.
One, we wanted to share the stories of MMI clients who conquered their debt and achieved financial freedom. Two, we hoped to inspire listeners that yes… they can do this too. And third… and this is kind of the “big one”… we wanted to peel back the layers of stigma, shame, and secrecy when it comes to talking about a thing that most Americans have… debt.
So on every episode, we asked our guests this question: How do you think debt stigma impacts a person’s willingness to seek help?
As you can imagine, we got a bunch of different answers. Enough answers for us to think to ourselves… okay, we’re on to something here. Let’s dive deeper.
So as we close Season 1, we want to dig into this issue and ultimately answer the question… why is money… taboo? Why does no one want to talk about money? How did we all, collectively, get the attitude that if we don’t talk about our finances, we’ll all master it on our own?
We called in a few partners to bring expertise and perspective on the phenomenon we’re calling: “The Money Taboo.”
