This episode covers a mix of personal updates and practical parenting strategies. Natasha shares her pregnancy news and how she approached telling her kids, followed by a thoughtful conversation about what it looks like to introduce a new baby to tweens and teens. The episode then shifts into a deep dive on allowance…when to start, how much to give, and how to use it as a tool to teach kids about saving, spending, and giving. We also break down why chores and responsibilities aren’t tied to payment, and how to build long-term financial habits without starting too early.
