Would you tell your BFF about your credit card debt?

About this episode

Jamie Feldman and Rachel Webster discuss the impact of sharing credit card debt on their friendship.

Would you feel comfortable telling your best friend how much debt you’re in? That was the last thing Jamie Feldman wanted to do, but when her credit card debt spiraled out of control, she knew she needed help. Together, Jamie and Rachel Webster tackled that debt and documented the process with their award-winning podcast “ Debt Heads .” Reema is joined by Jamie and Rachel to talk about friendship, shame and how opening up about money changed their relationship with debt.
