There are times that you have to start from scratch and start all over again. Join me as I speak with Vee Weir about the journey she had to go through to pick herself up from ground zero. Vee is the owner and founder of Vee Frugal Fox, an inclusive online brand for those paying down debt, saving money, and living their best financial lives. We talk about paying off debt, dealing with divorce, healing, and how mental health and money are interrelated.
“Ever since that divorce I've been in therapy and I will stay in therapy and I will stay on medication and I will not deviate from it because I saw what not addressing these things did. And I don't want to ever go back to that.” - Vee Weir
“I never wanted ever to give myself the title of 'self-made' anything because I'm not. I had support systems throughout my entire process. I am not self-made. I relied heavily on resources.” - Vee Weir
