#11 The Devastating Effects of Shopping Addiction, Santis O’Garro

Santis O'Garro is a mum of two who found herself in 15k debt at the height of her shopping addiction in 2018. With nowhere to turn and ashamed of her situation Santis hit her 'rock bottom'. In a self-described 'Hollywood movie' Santis was able to clear her debt in under one year. How did she do it? And what she learn from the experience? Some people continue to trivialise shopping addiction but my intimate conversation with Santis proves why it needs to be taken seriously.
