Our guest today is truly one of the original voices in personal finance and someone whose work has shaped how millions of Americans think about debt, credit, and financial freedom.
Lynnette Khalfani-Cox joins to share insights from her powerful new book, Bounce Back: The Ultimate Guide to Financial Resilience. We talk about why despite decades of financial education, so many Americans are still drowning in debt, how systemic barriers and policy decisions shape our financial outcomes, and what it really takes to recover after life’s biggest setbacks from divorce and job loss to disasters and dollar deficits. Lynnette also shares her own deeply personal story of climbing out of six figures of credit card debt, the mindset shifts that made lasting freedom possible, and why you don’t have to wait until you’re debt free to start saving, investing and rebuilding your life.
Lynnette is a New York Times bestselling author, a nationally recognized personal finance expert, and one of the most influential educators in the financial literacy movement. She’s known to millions as the money coach, and she’s appeared regularly on major national media outlets.
