finances, and all the stuff we don't understand about it.
Ben (my husband and the producer of our show) and I have spent the last year or so confronting our concerns about money, really looking our finances squarely in the face and conquering our fears…
Through this process, we have become more of a team than we were before! Our goals are aligned, each understands the other's priorities better than ever, and we work closely together now to make our dreams come true.
That's why I wanted to go in depth on the subject for you.
I want you to have those same good feelings, and understand that it's possible to conceive of a great future for your child – and to actually start BUILDING that future.
What are the 5 most important things for you to remember, when you're thinking about finances and raising kids? Listen to today's episode to find out!

because it's with our personal financial planner, Steven Taylor – the man who has helped Ben and I align our goals and begin truly working together to achieve our dreams.
Like many of the best conversations, ours doesn't stick strictly to the subject at hand. It starts off with sports and quickly develops into a meaningful conversation about parenting (Steven is Dad to 3-and 2-year-old boys).…
And soon, it's a full-blown exploration of the best money mindset that parents can have.
Whatever your fears about money, or your approach to financial planning, this conversation will make you feel better.
Thanks so much to Steven for coming on the show, and to you for listening!
Show notes, including lots of great links that came up during our conversation, at weturnedoutokay.com/221 –
Also there, you'll find the link to sign up for two cool things happening at our local library:
My workshop on how to handle weeknight chaos with little kids (this coming Monday evening, April 23), and Steven's workshop on budgeting, though he prefers the term "spending plan," on Tuesday evening, May 29!
If you can be in Bellingham, Massachusetts for either of these, that would be awesome!

Something we could do to change our child's behavior from bad to good?
Something that would stop us feeling like we're being emotionally blackmailed by our kids?
Listen to today's episode to understand exactly WHY we parents resort to bribery – when it's most likely to happen – and for 3 things we can do instead!
