Creating Wealthy Habits in Kids: Summer Tips

Creating Wealthy Habits in Kids: Summer Tips

This week on She Talks Money, we're talking about one of the most important subjects most of us never learned in school: financial literacy. If we want our kids to grow up with confidence around money, we can't wait for the education system to teach them. We have to create those lessons at home through real experiences and conversations. In this episode, I share seven practical ways to teach kids ages 5–17 about earning, saving, investing, giving, and making thoughtful spending decisions. From summer earning challenges and "spend, save, give" jars to teaching opportunity cost and showing them that money can make money, these simple lessons can have a lifelong impact. Because money isn't something to fear or avoid talking about. It's a tool—and when kids understand how to use it well, they gain options, freedom, and the ability to make a difference in the lives of others. Tune in for practical ideas to help raise financially confident kids and create healthy money conversations at home.

Redefining Success: Reclaiming Your Energy Without Sacrificing Your Ambition with Christi Cossette

What if success isn't supposed to feel this exhausting? This week on She Talks Money, I sit down with Christi Cossette to talk about something so many high-achieving women experience but rarely discuss: burnout disguised as success. We dive into why so many women are carrying the weight of everyone and everything around them, how ambition can quietly turn into exhaustion, and what it looks like to reclaim your energy without giving up your goals. This conversation is a reminder that you weren't meant to spend your life simply managing stress, checking boxes, and pushing through. You were made for more than high-functioning burnout. If you've ever felt successful on paper but disconnected from your own life, this episode will challenge you to redefine success on your terms and create a life that actually feels like yours.

The Hidden Weight of Success: Women's Silent Struggle

This week on She Talks Money, I’m talking about the kind of exhaustion that rest alone can’t fix. The mental load. The emotional labor. The constant pressure of being “the strong one.” So many high-achieving women look successful on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed from carrying everything for everyone. And the hard part is… the more successful you become, the more people depend on you. For a long time, I thought strength meant pushing through no matter what. But eventually I realized that strength without softness leads to burnout. In this episode, I talk about redefining success, creating emotional safety, setting boundaries, asking for help, and building a life that doesn’t constantly feel like survival mode.

The Silent Guilt of Success: Navigating Ambition and Identity

This week on She Talks Money, we’re talking about something that doesn’t get discussed enough: the guilt women feel when life starts getting better. Whether it’s making more money, wanting more for yourself, enjoying nicer things, or simply growing beyond the environment you came from—success can bring emotions no one prepares you for. In this episode, Jennifer opens up about the internal conflict many women experience when their income, lifestyle, or ambition begins to outgrow what feels familiar. From feeling guilty earning more than your parents, to downplaying success so others stay comfortable, to navigating the emotional weight of ambition while balancing motherhood, relationships, and expectations—this conversation goes deeper than finances. Because for many women, guilt around success isn’t really about money. It’s about identity. It’s about change. And it’s about learning how to receive the life you once prayed for without apologizing for it. If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable wanting more, struggled with being “too ambitious,” or questioned whether you’re allowed to fully enjoy your success, this episode is for you. You are not meant to shrink to keep others comfortable. You are allowed to thrive, stay grounded, and become the example of what’s possible.
