This week on the Journey to Launch podcast, I’m joined by Lori-Sara Gauthier, a public health worker based in Toronto who is in the thick of transforming her finances and her mindset. Lori-Sara recently paid off $14,000 in consumer debt, is working on eliminating her student loans, and is intentionally charting a path toward financial freedom.

Lori-Sara opens up about her spending habits, emotional triggers behind money decisions, and the moment she realized something had to change. Through self-awareness, therapy, and learning about the FIRE movement, she’s rewriting her money story and embracing the power of small, consistent actions.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Lori-Sara fell into and climbed out of $14K of credit card debt
  • The emotional connection between childhood scarcity and adult overspending
  • What she’s doing now: building an emergency fund, tackling student loans, and investing for the future
  • Why she threw a party to celebrate being debt-free, and how running helped her stay on track
  • Her evolving thoughts on FI, public service pensions, and leaving room for future flexibility
