For today’s students and recent grads, it can feel like life is a nonstop pressure cooker. Between social media expectations, student loan balances that won’t quit, and the constant message that everyone else is “doing better,” burnout can sneak in fast.

In this powerful episode of Financial Fitness with The Money Doctor, Dr. Frances Rahaim brings together State Senator Michael D. Brown and Gen Z changemaker Liberty Jones for a real, honest conversation about what young people are facing—and what no one is teaching them about money, stress, and survival.

Too many young adults feel like their financial stress is a personal failure. This episode flips that script.

Dr. Rahaim, Senator Brown, and Liberty Jones make it clear: the system is confusing, the pressure is real, and you’re not broken. But with the right tools, better information, and honest conversations, it is possible to regain control—without shame.

Whether you’re:

  • Just starting college
  • Graduating with loan anxiety
  • Juggling work, debt, and exhaustion
  • Or simply fed up with pretending everything’s fine

This episode meets you where you are.
