Racking up massive amounts of debt without a financial plan on your way to CRNA? You’re not alone and you’re not stuck in this debt cycle, future CRNA. Today, we are joined by Crystal Grant who managed to pay off over $200,000 in student loan debt in record time- and she’s sharing her secrets to success! 

In this episode, we cover- 

• The importance of financial literacy and education (no matter where you’re starting from)
• How to avoid common mistakes people often make when trying to pay down debt
• Crystal’s methodology and step-by-step plan for paying down her debt
• The critical importance of evaluating your spending habits 
• The benefits of multiple streams of revenue (even when you’re already a CRNA) 
• The power of a growth mindset for financial management and success along this path 

So pop in your headphones, and before you know it, you’ll be on your way to being a debt-free CRNA, too! Cheers to your future!
