Too many good, responsible people are now faced with a debt crisis. People are losing their homes, facing insurmountable debt and suffering from the stress of it all.

It's tempting to hide under the covers and hope that the problems will all go away. But attorney Emily Chase Smith has some better ideas. How can we face and resolve debt so that we may enter into this new economy in better standing?

Today, your host and life coach, Marla Tabaka, interviews Ms. Smith on the tough topic she calls Big, Dumb, Stupid Debt! to help you find the answers and lower your debt-related stress.

Emily Chase Smith is an experienced debt negotiator and bankruptcy attorney with the heart of a teacher.  She gets great joy from counseling individuals and families in tough times, giving them a solid plan forward and most importantly, HOPE.

Emily chose the field of debt counseling because it’s an area of law where you help move clients into a substantially better position.  She loves to see her clients go from being scared, depressed and in debt, to their best years ever with thriving businesses and careers and happier families.

Emily has a legal practice in Southern California, but after hearing client after client repeat scary misinformation, she decided the country needed a clearinghouse for trusted information about options for dealing with debt.

Big Dumb Stupid Debt is a website, podcast and blog with a wealth of information about debt resolution delivered in a way that doesn’t require eyelid toothpicks.
