    Jessie Pays Off $55,722.25 As A Hair Stylist

    Meet Jessie. She paid off over $55,000 in 23 months using the Get the Hell Out of Debt method, all while growing her business and raising small kids. If you have ever doubted your ability to master money as a solopreneur, Jessie will inspire you to take control of your numbers, build real financial systems, and prove to yourself that consistency beats chaos every time. In this episode, Jessie shares exactly how she went from survival mode to full financial clarity. As a self-employed hairstylist with unpredictable income, maternity leave gaps, and the pressure of raising two young children, her debt didn’t come from irresponsibility - it came from real life. Lost income, big life events, and using her business like an ATM slowly created over $55,000 in debt. Until she met Erin Skye Kelly.  You can find Jessie via her website - www.jessiemarshallhairstylist.com And on Instagram @jessiemarshall_hairstylist Join Jessie in our online community: www.getthehelloutofdebt.com  Today’s episode is brought to you by: Quince – Beautiful, high-quality essentials (including bedding) at great prices.
