Discouraged by Slow Debt Progress? You’re Doing Better Than You Think

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right, but your debt just isn’t disappearing fast enough? I know that frustration because I’ve been there too. In this episode, I talk about how to stay encouraged even when your progress feels slow. I’ll share why persistence and direction matter far more than speed and how small, consistent steps create lasting financial freedom. I even draw from my own weight loss journey to show how steady effort over time produces real transformation. You’ll hear stories, practical wisdom, and reminders that progress is progress, no matter how small it may seem.

Last week, in Episode 337 “Ashamed of Budget Mistakes? Let’s Debrief Without the Guilt,” we talked about how to look back on your finances with honesty and grace. This week, we look forward with hope. I’ll encourage you to trust God’s timing, celebrate small victories, and keep moving faithfully toward your goals. You’re doing better than you think, and this episode will help you see that your steady progress is shaping a stronger, more confident financial future.
