Leah Collins, a Dallas native, has been tasked by a TV network, Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) to provide financial advice on financial matters. The eight-episode financial advice show, "Maxxed Out," premiered in January and is now available on streaming services such as Hulu, HBO Max and Discovery Plus. Collins, who works in real estate finance for Walmart, discusses topics such as sex and relationships in the show. The first season features a woman with 40 credit cards, an entrepreneur with an obsession for expensive collectibles, and another struggling with student loans. Alexis Morrison, who was on episode 2 of “MAXXED OUT,” said her finances were in a bad place before being on the show, and since meeting Collins, she has paid two loans and two credit card bills, and is in the process of starting a new business.
