The Drive

Juliet Annerino is a board-certified clinical Hypnotherapist practicing in Los Angeles. She helps people improve their lives and make life-changing breakthroughs to relieve anxiety, overcome phobias, quit smoking, lose weight, and even explore past lives through hypnosis.

The guest is Amber Duncan, founder of Life After Debt. Amber knows the terrain firsthand — she flipped her own bankruptcy into a movement that’s now helped Americans settle millions in credit card debt. Since 2008, she’s been cutting through shame and jargon to give people real tools for financial freedom. From her podcast to her free “Clarity Calls” and live “debt dives,” Amber is redefining how we talk about money. She’s resilient, candid, and has a knack for making complex financial challenges feel human — and solvable.

Guerneville’s Localish, owned by Thomas Boltzer, is a thoughtfully curated shop featuring Sonoma County wines from small boutique wineries, plus cider, beer and a refillery stocked with eco-friendly household and body products. The store celebrates local artisans and earth-conscious living.
