Do you have a financial decision you've been avoiding? Perhaps you have debt you need a strategy for eliminating or simply want resources on helping your kids manage their allowance.

In this episode we talk about helping people understand that a lot of the stress and pressure we feel about money is unnecessary, how she handles being a stay home parent at the same time being a mompreneur who's had multiple careers, and financial literacy.
