Show notes

Money is one topic with my kids that I find myself hesitating around. Sometimes I feel like they are too young to understand certain concepts. But at the same time these kids like expensive things. Instead of having my kids grow up with the wrong ideas I had about money, I am changing that with the help of Chelsea.
Chelsea, from Smart Money Mamas, is on the podcast today to help us with tips for teaching our kids about money.
In particular, she shares:

Some of the best ways that she's found to teach kids about money
How our relationship can impact our kid's views on money.
Tips on entrepreneurship and how we can teach our kids about being an entrepreneur

Check out the full episode to learn more.

[159] Planning Parental Leave? Steps to Have Your Ideal Maternity Leave with Sue and Amy Nov 02, 2021

Show notes

Send me a text

If there was one area that I could go back and time in and change in my life, it would be preparing for maternity leave when I had my first son. As a recent grad with student loans and no savings, taking 3-month maternity leave wasn't something that I could afford.
Unfortunately, the United States did not have a federal paid maternity leave like other countries like Estonia, Portugal, and New Zealand. As a new mom I wanted to be home with my baby, but the reality was I had to go back to work to make sure that my baby was provided for. The sad part is many moms experience this. I was able to take 6-week maternity leave, but I have heard of moms going back to work as soon as 2 weeks after having a baby.
Instead of wishing that I could go back and change those days, I want other expecting moms to know that you plan and prepare your ideal maternity leave. You don't have to rush back to work because you have to.
In today's episode, my guest Sue and Amy are going to help us learn how we can do just that. In this episode, Sue and Amy share:

What parental leave looks like in this country today
Where moms-to-be need to start to negotiate this major life and career transition
The top three things expecting parents taking parental leave should do to protect their current and future career
Things that parents should keep in mind after parental leave

If you are an expecting mom, dad, or know some that are, this episode is definitely for you. Check out the full episode to learn mom.

ABOUT AMY & SUE
Dr. Amy Beacom is the founder and CEO of the Center for Parental Leave Leadership, the first consultancy in the US to focus exclusively on parental leave. She consults with Fortune 100 companies, international organizations, working parents, and more to transform the way our companies and our country engage with the parental leave transition. She's the co-author of the Parental Leave Playbook, with Sue Campbell, who's the communications director for the Center for Parental Leave Leadership. They are both with us today.

Show notes

My oldest, I call him my little Gary Vee, because homeboy only wants to do things that make him money.
He literally only gets motivated when I talk about giving him money for getting good grades at school.
I've had a bit of a challenge with finding ways to support him and his entrepreneurial spirit, as well as making sure that he takes care of what he needs to at school.
My guest Sherri is going to share some of her experiences on how we can better support our kids and their entrepreneurial ambition.
Sherri is the mother of Jake and Caroline, who are the creators of Fair Harbor. Fair Harbor is a clothing line that Sherri's kids created from their home. She has been with them when they first started the clothing line when they were still living at home. Sherri has supported her kids throughout the journey starting back in 2014.
And she has some tips and advice for moms who want to help support their kids but are trying not to be that annoying mom but also give their kids the support that they need with the highs and lows of entrepreneurship.

[157] 3 Tips to Overcome Power Struggles With Your Child with Lindsay Ford Oct 19, 2021

Show notes

Send me a text

Have you ever felt like there's a constant battle between you and your kids?
Like, asking them to pick up the toys only leads to meltdowns and attitudes out of nowhere. All we want is to walk around without injuring ourselves the Legos left on the floor.
I used to think that I was struggling with my kid's meltdowns because it seemed to always be a full moon. Then I learned about power struggles.
Kids have a basic need for power. When they feel like they don't have power, that is when the struggle begins.
But giving them power doesn't have to mean giving up your power as a parent.
There are ways where both you and your child can feel in control.
Check out this episode with my guest Lindsay to learn why power struggles happen and 3 tips to overcome them.
ABOUT LINDSAY
Lindsay helps moms get their kids to listen without yelling, threats, or bribes. She likes to think of herself as your future parenting BFF - someone who is supportive, encouraging, helpful, and understands what it's like to parent in the real world.
