High Heels and Hay Bales

The Podcast

A Hillbilly Homesteader and a Bougie Bankruptcy Lawyer Walk Into a Podcast…

It sounds like the start of a joke, but it’s actually your new favorite show about finances, life, and ditching shame related to debt.

About the Show: What You’re Really In For

High Heels & Hay Bales brings you honest, often hilarious conversations about money, debt, and the systems stacked against us.

Adrienne Hines is a bankruptcy attorney with a taste for luxury and the life to match. Kristen Paras is a homesteading, farm living, feed-the-chickens-before-sunrise kind of woman. Together, they tackle topics most folks are too scared to ask about - without judgement, and with just the right amount of sass.

Whether you’re fighting off creditors or figuring out if your chicken coop qualifies as a tax write-off (spoiler: probably not), you’re in the right place.

  • Founder | The Lady Like Lawyer | Bankruptcy Attorney

    Bougie. Brilliant. Blunt.
    Adrienne Hines has spent nearly 30 years helping people navigate bankruptcy with dignity. When she’s not in heels, she’s on TikTok blowing up bankruptcy myths and advocating for debt freedom.

  • Founder | Hillbilly Homesteader

    Gritty. Grounded. Goat mom.
    Kristen Paras grows her own food, raises chickens, and shares the unfiltered truth about rural life and real-life money struggles. She’s here to ask the questions you're thinking - and probably say what Adrienne won’t.

Two women standing back-to-back in front of a large tree with green leaves, one holding red shoes and the other holding rubber boots, both wearing glasses.
Two women outdoors, one sitting in a wheelbarrow with a straw bale behind her, the other standing and holding the handles. Both women are laughing, the woman sitting wears a coral top and patterned skirt with red shoes, and the standing woman wears a black tank top and jeans with yellow patterned boots. The background includes green trees and grass.
