PODCAST: Cubicle to CEO -- Debt Monster

Well — I have some news for you, friend. I hope this note finds you in your comfiest pajamas, sipping on something delightful. I've got some juicy gossip to share—I recently had a blast chatting with Ellen Yin on her Cubicle to CEO podcast! Yeah, me, Taylor, the one who sometimes can't find her keys in her own bag.


First things first, I've gotta spill some gratitude tea. Ellen is an absolute gem for inviting me on her show. Seriously, she's like the Oprah of entrepreneurship—just way cooler. From the moment I slid into her emails, I knew this was gonna be a ride worth taking. And boy, was I right!

Here’s the takeaways:

Now, picture this: me, a multi-passionate registered massage therapist, educator, and consultant, swimming in debt like a goldfish in a fishbowl. Yeah, not a pretty sight. But guess what? Ellen and I dished all about it. We're talking $65K in consumer debt staring me down like a toddler eyeing that last cookie. It was messy, it was real, and it was oddly liberating to talk about.

Ellen and I also got into this cool concept called multi-potentialism. Basically, it's my fancy way of saying I'm a jack of all trades (and a master of none, but let's keep that between us). Turns out, being all over the place with my skills actually helped me pay off nearly $70K of debt and interest in just nine months. Want to read more details? Click here. Multipotentialism is my superpower and I bet it’s yours, too. It’s a big key to how we paid off all this debt in just over 9 months.

Thanks, Ellen.

Let me tell you, chatting with Ellen was like catching up with an old friend over coffee or tea. Her laugh is infectious, her energy is contagious, and her questions made me feel like a financial guru (spoiler: I'm not). She’s leading the way with transparency in the entrepreneurial space and I was honoured to be a guest sharing this case study.

Thanks to Ellen and the Cubicle to CEO fam, I'm feeling like I've got this whole debt-free thing in the bag. Well, maybe not the whole bag, but at least I found my keys in there somewhere. And hey, if you're ever feeling overwhelmed by debt or want someone to walk with you and all your passions, you know where to find me.

Chat soon.

Alright, friend, that's all for now. Thanks for letting me spill the beans about my podcast adventure. Remember, life's too short to take it too seriously. So grab a snack, hit play on that podcast episode, and let's laugh our way to financial freedom together!
