This podcast dives into the real-world journey of pursuing a debt-free degree—whether you’re in high school exploring dual enrollment and college scholarships, or a graduate student seeking out scholarships for women, STEM scholarships, or funding strategies for advanced degrees. We cover everything from using the net price calculator and tools like MyIntuition to understand true college costs, to applying for college grants such as the Pell Grant through the FAFSA.
Listeners will also find budgeting tips and strategies inspired by Dave Ramsey, including insights from Financial Peace University, Ramsey Solutions, and the EveryDollar app. We’ll explore practical ways to save money, build a college fund through a 529 plan, and weigh options like college student loans, the Parent PLUS Loan, federal student loans, or even private student loans. Along the way, we share proven approaches to scholarship strategy and highlight scholarship search engines like ScholarshipOwl and Scholarships360 that can simplify the hunt.

Hey there! I’m Kara Walker, a twenty-something entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, recovering over-achiever, and debt-free college graduate. In college, I too was a stressed college student, looking for money and mental peace. I wondered if there were other ways to pay for college besides loans, and wished for clear direction on how to make college and career decisions! Not only was I worried about drowning in debt, but also afraid I hadn’t heard Jesus correctly. Was I studying the wrong thing? Was I completely off track?
I felt semi-out of control and was spiraling, until I learned how to hear from God and follow His direction. He guided me and gave me the stepping stones to pay for college. Scholarships, grants, testing out of classes, and other weird school hacks got me through debt-free!
And, I’m here to teach you HOW to do this, too.

Welcome fam! This podcast will help you find and get scholarships, avoid student loans and maybe even graduate college debt-free!
Hey! I’m Kara, a Christian entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, and scholarship BEAST! I figured out how to not only finish college debt-free, but I even had $10k left over in the bank after graduation. (& btw, my parents weren’t able to help me financially either!)
During school, I was worried about paying for next semester. I couldn’t find scholarships that worked specifically for me, and didn’t know how to get started while juggling homework and keeping up with ALL.THE.THINGS.
But dude, I learned there was a better way! With God’s direction, I tested out of classes, and found the perfect scholarships, grants, internships, and weird budget hacks that helped me go from overwhelmed to debt-free with $10k in the bank–all with God on my side.

437 - I Tried to Disprove God in College... and This Happened😲
Thursday Nov 20, 2025
Thursday Nov 20, 2025
Grown skeptical of “religion” but still hungry for truth?
In this episode, I share how I went from questioning everything I believed — to discovering that reason and faith aren’t enemies after all. This isn’t about blind belief; it’s about following evidence, wrestling with doubts, and finding something solid enough to build a life on.
You’ll hear:
• Why I decided to “fact-check” my faith during college
• What logic, history, and honest searching actually revealed
• The surprising peace that came when I stopped running from the questions
If you’ve ever felt torn between faith and intellect, this one’s for you.

He paid off $56,696 in student loans in his early 20s — but it didn’t happen overnight. In this inspiring part two of Jon Carothers’ story, we dive into the faith, mindset, and habits that made it possible.
💬 How did he do it?
Through God’s guidance, surrender, and taking ownership of his choices. He picked up extra jobs, surrounded himself with a supportive community, and learned the power of knowing his “why.” At the end of the day, he realized it’s all about choosing your hard — and trusting God with the rest.

433 - I Found Her Over $19,800 in Scholarships & You Could Be Next!
Thursday Oct 30, 2025
Thursday Oct 30, 2025
I personally found my client over $19,800 worth of scholarship opportunities, pertaining to her major, hobbies, age, interests, etc. (Wanna be next!?!?)
What if you were handed a list of scholarships that were tailor-made for you?
What if you didn't even have to search for them because I did it for you?
This is possible! I myself graduated from college debt-free with over $10k leftover in my bank account, and was able to completely pay for college without my parents help or working full time all throughout college. Why? Because I know how to search for scholarships like nobody's business!
That's why I created the FREE (yes, free!) Scholarship Strategy Session, where I learn about your plans for school, and we make a plan on scholarships I’ll find for you to apply for. I want to get you the most $ possible so you can have the most stress-free, and potentially debt-free, college experience.
Then after this free zoom call, you can choose whether you'd like to hire me.
SO HEAD TO… calendly.com/moneyandmentalpeace and go check it out today!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
