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.

** Find God's Path for College and Graduate Loan and Debt-Free **
Do you want guidance on where to go and what to study… wonder if you should change majors? Do you find yourself up late at night searching for scholarships, and ways to pay for college without parental help? Do you wake up worried about everything, and just want to make sure you’re following God’s plan for your life?
In this podcast for Christian college girls, you will learn to find GOD’S path for your college journey, and graduate with no loans or debt!
I get it! It is so tough doing things the world‘s way, when everybody else is doing life without God and in their own strength, making poor choices, and taking out loans. So, if you’re ready to stop dreading making decisions, and find EASY solutions to help you pay for college while following His path for your life, this podcast is for you!
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.
If you are ready to find answers about your future, have an intimate and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and have enough money to KILL it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.

About Bonnie's podcast:
Fantasy Fiction & Novel Writing for Authors in Training
Are you a mom of an avid reader with an active imagination?
Do you want to nurture your child’s creativity, but you’re not sure how to help him turn his fantasy world into a quality story others can enjoy?
Do you want your child to learn from a Christian author you can trust to teach storytelling from a Biblical worldview?
Then welcome to Published Before College, the podcast with short and entertaining shows for authors in training. Through these episodes, your child will learn how to hone his creative writing skills so he can go from avid reader to stellar storyteller to published author before he even steps foot on a college campus.
I’m your host D.K. Drake, author of the Dragon Stalker Bloodlines Saga. (Full disclosure: D.K. Drake is a pen name. Listen to episode one to discover my true identity and find out why I chose to use a pen name.)
As fantasy author DK Drake, my mission is to bring you entertaining, engaging, wholesome adventures too packed with action to leave room for eye-rolling sappiness or mind-numbing fluff.
As a creative writing coach, my mission is to help young authors find their voice, craft captivating stories, and take ownership of the publishing process.
You see, I struggled to understand my God-given strength of storytelling when I was a kid despite my wild imagination and creative soul. It wasn’t until I was a senior in college mere months away from graduation that I realized my deep desire to be an author. Then it took another decade or so of struggle to figure out how to bring that dream to life.
This podcast is designed to help your child skip those unnecessary struggles I went through and discover that his imagination is a gift God wants to use now, not decades from now. That’s why I will challenge him to put creative writing strategies into action as we build stories together. Then he’ll learn how to package and publish those stories so he can boldly share them with the world.
I’ll also read my own books one chapter at a time, sharing an insider tip about that chapter in each reading episode because behind-the-scenes stuff is fun.
Adventure awaits, so ignite your imagination, latch on to that dragon swooping overhead, and let the storytelling quest begin. It’s time to play in our own fabulous fantasy worlds.

I know how it feels to question my career choice! I declared a major and then I was like, "Now what?" Was it correct? What would I do after college? Even though I was still in college, I thought way ahead. Can you relate? Honestly I was just worrying about tomorrow, it was very annoying. So...
Now hindsight is 20/20, I'm outta college, graduated, and I have 2 New Year's resolutions that helped me, and can now help YOU, find a college degree you'll love! I think it'll help you!

Heyyyyyy guys! Are you an overachiever? Today we'll discuss why finals week could be harder for you, and how to let go and let God!
I get it! I was often a stressed overachiever in college. There is a time to go above and beyond expectations. That's great! Yet sometimes overachieving can become toxic and draining and overwhelming. Not being able to sleep or getting physically ill equals TOO MUCH overachieving stress on your body. Let's sit with God today and hear His encouragement on how to release the pressure.
So you might not have finals quite yet, but when I was researching finals schedules this week, the earliest I found was one school starting today, December 9th, so I thought this was a perfect time to get started! But if your finals are still a week or two away, don't worry! I'll be dropping some more tips and tricks in the coming weeks(:

** Find God's Path for College and Graduate Loan and Debt-Free **
Do you want guidance on where to go and what to study… wonder if you should change majors? Do you find yourself up late at night searching for scholarships, and ways to pay for college without parental help? Do you wake up worried about everything, and just want to make sure you’re following God’s plan for your life?
In this podcast for Christian college girls, you will learn to find GOD’S path for your college journey, and graduate with no loans or debt!
I get it! It is so tough doing things the world‘s way, when everybody else is doing life without God and in their own strength, making poor choices, and taking out loans. So, if you’re ready to stop dreading making decisions, and find EASY solutions to help you pay for college while following His path for your life, this podcast is for you!
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.
If you are ready to find answers about your future, have an intimate and fruitful relationship with Jesus, and have enough money to KILL it at college, this pod is for you! So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you’ve ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.
