Money Career & Motherhood Podcast

If you're a mom on a family-focused career break, it may not feel like the time to set goals for yourself. It can even feel like the end of the big goals you'd previously set. But time out of the workforce is also an opportunity to build a more meaningful life that works for who you are today, the you with kids. Your career break doesn't have to feel like getting lost on the path you've set for yourself. It can feel like a whole separate trip! In this week's episode of the Money, Career & Motherhood podcast I talk about setting career break goals designed to rebalance the areas of your life while on break.

A family-driven career break can be the start of your next big thing. That was certainly the case for my guest on this week's Money, Career & Motherhood podcast. Kathryn Wepfer was a highly accomplished working professional excited about her work, until the birth of her second child. When she was unable to extend her maternity leave after her second daughter was born, Kathryn did something she never expected to – she quit her job to spend more time bonding with her new daughter. While out on her extended break, Kathryn did something else she hadn't expected to do – start a business. Now, as the founder of Fulcrum Apparel, Kathryn is able to improve the return to work experience for new working mothers, use her professional skills, and be an active and engaged mother.   About the Guest: Kathryn Wepfer is the founder and CEO of Fulcrum Apparel, workwear for pumping mothers. She began her career as a mechanical engineer for General Electric, earned an MBA from MIT, and spent much of her career in various roles at Microsoft. After the birth of her second daughter she pivoted to entrepreneurship with an idea sparked by her own journey as a working mother. She founded Fulcrum Apparel in 2019 to elevate workwear for moms navigating the pumping process. Kathryn is dedicated to empowering the female workforce through products and services that enable women to be present in both work and motherhood while achieving all their goals.

When I first met today's guest, she said something that hit me hard. “There will always be a breakdown in childcare.” It's true. This is why solutions for parents who take career breaks are so important to me. Even with flexible employers, things come up when you have kids. Sometimes the challenges are so great that parents, usually mothers, take career breaks to solve these problems. Priya Amin is the co-founder of an innovative virtual childcare company called Flexible Care. She left a thriving career for a family-driven career break and has since dedicated her career to being part of the solution for working parents by founding Flexible Care. In this episode, Priya and I discuss the challenges working parents' face, the evolution of Flexible Care as she and her co-founder try to navigate the needs of parents, as well as the challenges she faced in funding the business' growth. We talk openly about remaining solution-focused in her startup when the original plan didn't work and her advice for female founders who are trying to seek investors for their business. The Flexible Care team successfully raised nearly $1 million in funding, yet it was ironically childcare that presented one of its biggest barriers to funding.   About the Guest: Priya Amin is an entrepreneur, TEDx speaker and mother to two boys, Ronin and Kirin. She holds an MBA from the University of Arizona, and worked as a product and brand manager at corporations such as IBM and Nestle. In 2012, she left her high powered career to be home with her two boys, and never looked back. After successfully launching and running a marketing consulting firm called ROKI, she began looking for ways to continue fostering creativity and entrepreneurship among women. She launched Flexable, LLC in 2016 and was accepted to the 16th cohort of the AlphaLab Accelerator program in 2016. Flexable has gained regional and national attention for providing innovative childcare solutions, most notably on-site childcare at offices and events.  Since the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, Flexable pivoted to offering  Virtual Childcare hosted by fully vetted Flexable Facilitators to keep kids 3-10 years old engaged, so working parents can take back their schedule.   Learn more about Flexible Care and connect with Priya Amin at: www.flexablecare.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/priyaamin/ https://twitter.com/praman79   About the Host Janice Scholl helps moms navigate the money and career transitions that come with the different stages of motherhood through her work as coach, speaker, workshop facilitator, and host of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast.

According to my guest Michelle Arpin Begina, there's a very big difference between income and wealth. I couldn't agree more. Too often families are caught up in a spending pattern to create an illusion of wealth, when in fact they're struggling financially. In this week's episode, I talk with Michelle about the complex relationship she developed with money as a child through her family experiences, what change you really need to focus on to improve your financial situation, and how to use your life's successes unrelated to money to meet your financial goals.   About the Guest: Michelle's earliest memories from childhood all relate to money. And yet, the stories and lessons learned from different branches of her family tree couldn't be more dichotomous! Michelle has used the money lessons from her life to rethink how financial advisors and their clients have traditionally worked together. Rather than thinking of her role as a gatekeeper of portfolios, she sees real value in being a gateway to personal financial freedom. To support her clients on their unique wealth journeys, Michelle is a technician of financial planning, investment, and wealth management. But what differentiates Michelle from other financial advisors is that she has spent the last two-plus decades studying the unconventional, non-financial aspects of life satisfaction, financial therapy (it's a thing), behavioral bias, choice, and decision advising. She believes we all need to examine the money stories, scripts, and lessons that affect our financial psychology so that we can rethink what we know about money to have more of it. Michelle lives in Wyckoff, NJ with her husband, Mike and sons, Alex and Nick. She is an avid photographer – her sons are her favorite subject!

There are 44.7 million Americans carrying a total of $1.71 trillion in student debt today. For many families, college feels impossible without a significant amount of debt, except for maybe superstar athletes or valedictorians who get scholarships.

My guest today, Denise Thomas, is here to debunk many of the college scholarship myths and help students attain a debt-free college degree.   In this episode, we discuss: The timing of when to start thinking about college applications How to tell the story of who your student is during the college application process What colleges are looking for when they award scholarships   About the Guest: Denise Thomas is known as the debt-free college coach.

Many women spend a long time thinking through the implications of a career break before they actually decide to take one. Then after it starts, they dive into non-work life without thinking about how to get back in, even though nearly 90% of women want to return at some point. While you can find a way back into the workforce later, the best time to create a strategy for your return is early in your break. This week on the podcast listen in on my live coaching session with Kristen Schneider, professional working mom turned recent career breaker and co-host of the MOMGUL, where we discuss her decision to take a career break and what she wants out of her career when she returns. In this episode, we discuss: How a passion project can help you develop the courage to take a career break The traps of busyness that can creep up after leaving your career Recognizing the personal changes that occur during a career break, and how they influence the success of your future return to work How to develop personal, professional, and networking strategies designed to help you return to a career that works with your life when you're ready   You can learn more about Kristen at: https://www.momgul.com/ Listen to her podcast, MOMGUL – Making Moms into Moguls, here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/momgul-making-moms-into-moguls/id1528110500   About the Host Janice Scholl is passionate about illuminating the work-life struggle that causes working mothers to leave professional jobs to raise their families, with a special focus on helping mothers start businesses that allow them to be financially empowered and use their skills, while being fully present for their children.

School can be a challenge for kids who learn differently, have special needs, or have behavioral issues. My guests, Vickie Brett and Amanda Selogie, attorneys who specialize in specific civil rights issues on behalf of children living with special needs, discuss the challenges families can face in advocating for their children within the school system and the importance of creating an individualized plan for a student's education plan. We also discuss mental health at school, including how anxiety or depression can present in the school setting, how it affects learning, and the importance of developing a solution to the root cause of an issue a student is facing rather than the behavioral symptom.   About the Guest: Amanda Selogie & Vickie Brett are co-founders of Selogie & Brett LLP, a boutique civil rights litigation firm specializing in specific civil rights issues on behalf of children living with special needs, as well as co-founders of the Inclusive Education Project, a legal advocacy 501(c)3 non-profit, focused on educating families on their legal rights to their child's education and providing pro-bono legal aide to low income families in California.

This is an encore episode that originally aired on June 2, 2020. Meal planning is a great way to save money by cooking more at home, but only if it works for your family! Too often busy moms try to meal plan but because of our ever-changing schedules, picky eaters, and little time to cook, it doesn't work. Today we're interviewing Marie Fiebach of the Feed Your Family Tonight Podcast, who will change the way you meal plan for your family.   About the Guest: Marie Fiebach is a married mother of four active kids aged 12-17.  In 2017 she founded Feed Your Family Tonight to help busy families eat dinner together at home and recapture a little calm in the crazy. She is a cookbook author, podcaster, and has a weekly cooking segment on her local ABC affiliate. Marie knows how hard it is to get dinner on the table whether you are working until 6:00, running kids to after-school activities, or chasing toddlers all day. She has dealt with picky eaters, food allergies, and busy schedules but still manages to feed her family a home-cooked meal almost every night. She wants to help you do the same. IG @MarieFiebach FB Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/FeedYourFamilyTonight/ Website feedyourfamilytonight.com   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business. Through her time as a commercial banker, consultant and mentor to budding entrepreneurs, she helped clients create solid business and financial strategies to help propel their business to success. While working with aspiring female entrepreneurs, Janice noticed that the same four themes kept repeating: Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life. Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn't fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. Mothers didn't want money to drive their family decisions. From these themes The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.

What if rock bottom for your spouse meant your family must risk it all in hopes of getting them the care they need? Could you walk away from your comfortable life for them to get the help they need? Danielle Bettmann, wife, mother, parenting coach, podcast host and this week's brave guest, is sharing her story as the wife of a husband who suffers from alcoholism. She talks about discovering the extent of his disease, what it felt like to try to carry on as normal with those around her during this battle, and the difficult decision to sell the family home to pay for the in-patient treatment her husband needed to get sober. The in-patient treatment did work. Danielle's husband is celebrating 3.5 years sober, while Danielle and her family are in love with their downsized life and their continued focus on people and experiences versus things.   As many as 76 million Americans (around 45 percent of the population) have been exposed to some form of alcoholism or alcoholic behaviors in their family; and as many as 26.8 million of those people are children. Despite its frequency, those who haven't experienced it firsthand may not realize how close alcoholism is to the ones they know and love, while those struggling with the impact of the disease on their family can feel alone in their struggles. Alcoholism is a disease that affects all family members, and the impact goes beyond relationships. If you believe that you or a loved one may be suffering from alcoholism, please get help by contacting Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon, or a local treatment center.   About the Guest: Danielle Bettmann is the owner & parenting coach of Wholeheartedly.   She helps families with a strong-willed toddler and a "good cop / bad cop" dynamic find sanity & solutions! Through 1:1 coaching, she helps extend your patience, rewire your parenting mindset and write your Family Business Plan.  She's also the host of the Failing Motherhood podcast, working to normalize the struggle and share vulnerable stories of feeling like a "failure", reminding you that YOU are the mom your kids need.   Learn more about Danielle's work at: Website: www.parentingwholeheartedly.com Calm your BIG Emotions Workbook *FREEBIE* – www.parentingwholeheartedly.com/emotions Follow Danielle: www.Instagram.com/parent_wholeheartedly    Private FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parentwholeheartedly     About the Host Janice Scholl helps moms navigate the money and career transitions that come with the different stages of motherhood through her work as coach, speaker, workshop facilitator, and host of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast.

Does life ever feel like a little bit of history repeating itself? So often we see similar challenges in money, relationships and other family issues continue from one generation to the next. Many people go through their entire lives without recognizing the deeper issues fueling their money challenges. According to my guest Johanna Lynn, your family lives on within you, think of it as your emotional inheritance. We talk about how this emotional inheritance can impact your relationship with money, and what we can do to release past events to develop a healthier future for ourselves and our children.   About the Guest: Johanna Lynn is fascinated by what parents share with their children, the invisible stuff passed along in our very DNA. Her superpower is listening like a detective to the facts of a client's family history, the words they use to describe their challenges lead to begin to work offering up freedom, insight and new perspectives.   Our earliest experiences, while we don't consciously remember them, have a profound influence on how we live our lives. Johanna works with what the body remembers and the knowledge that we are more than our own individual experiences.

So many families think they're living the American Dream, until they want or need to make a change but can't due to their finances. In the case of Stephanie Sims and her husband, they were living a great life and doing all the things they thought they should – like using their income to buy a bigger family home and new cars – until Stephanie wanted to stay home with her baby but couldn't because of the family's debt. About three years later and with two more babies, Stephanie and her husband had enough and decided to make drastic changes to the way they lived and used their money. Stephanie and I discuss how a budget and living below your means gives you the options you may want or need to raise your family on your terms.   About the Guest: Stephanie Sims is a boy mama x 4, foster parent, and a wife of 10+ years. She's a Special Education teacher by trade but has left the classroom to raise her children and spread her message of hope and generational change to other mamas. In her work, Stephanie leans into 5 main topics: Faith, Finances, Health, Marriage & Mindset and believes in changing the seemingly insignificant choices we make each day to compound over time and break chains, tear down strongholds, and ultimately drive generational change.   Learn more about Stephanie's work at: www.simsarrows.com IG @Legacy_through_motherhood (IG), FB @Legacy through Motherhood FB Group @The Legacy through Motherhood Community with Stephanie Sims (FB group)   About the Host Janice Scholl helps moms navigate the money and career transitions that come with the different stages of motherhood through her work as coach, speaker, workshop facilitator, and host of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast.

I hear time and time again from women who are not comfortable with the world financial planning, but who want to learn. Research shows that despite growth in income by women in recent years, many remain less confident in their finances than men. Sometimes women still leave the financial planning activities for their families to their spouse, but it's so important for both men and women, husbands and wives, to be involved in the financial planning for their families. Men and women often think about long term life plans differently, and the most successful family financial plans incorporate both.   In today's episode, I'm talking with Gaea Verneris, Financial Advisor and Owner of Legacy One Financial about how she approaches her clients to ensure the goals of her female clients are incorporated into their family's financial plans, the process of getting to know her clients, and questions individuals can ask advisors to determine if they're the right advisor for them.   We also learn what a 529 savings plan can be used for, which is an area of focus for many families as they explore how to best save for their child's education.   About the Guest: Gaea is a small-town girl, born and raised in the mountains of Twain Harte, CA. Always enjoying an outdoor adventure, she spent her summers climbing trees, bike riding, swimming and her winters on skis! She loves the mountains, however, her career brought her to Ventura County in 2006. After graduating from Sacramento State University with a degree in Digital Media, she embarked on her next journey and moved to sea. She started and grew the video department for Princess Cruises and lived on cruise ships on and off for the next six years. After setting up most of the fleet with video, the corporate office pulled her in to manage from shore in California. In 2009 she decided it was time for a career change and while doing some soul searching found Edward Jones. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would become a Financial Advisor, but she took a chance, got hired, passed her exams, opened an office in Carpinteria, CA and never looked back. She absolutely loves her career, and helping people realize their dreams is her passion. She believes financial planning involves more than the game of the stock market, and loves all of her clients and helping them pursue their goals. With nine years of industry experience at Edward Jones behind her, she decided she wanted greater flexibility to offer different solutions that better catered to her client's needs and risk. This led to the creation of Legacy One Financial. Gaea is passionate about providing an experience that helps her clients live happier and healthier lives! She is excited for the opportunity to partner with LPL Financial, one of the leading financial services companies and one of the largest independent broker/dealers in the nation. She is also in some aspect partnered with other large consulting firms under the LPL umbrella, with offices across California. These partnerships afford Legacy One the ability to offer the best array of products for her clients. She is excited for the opportunity to meet and work with new individuals with her company, Legacy One Financial. Gaea and her husband Jay have an adorable 3-year-old girl named Bayzil, who keeps them on their toes and brings more joy to their world than they ever thought possible. As a family, they love to travel around the globe, see concerts and live music, go wine tasting, spend time with family and friends, give back to the community and live life to the fullest. Her own family life and time in this career has also taught her how to get her own financial well-being in check, and for that she is truly grateful.

But the company is doing so much more than selling products to ensure moms' success through its New Moms' Healthy Returns program.

While on an extended maternity leave, Meg Staples found herself at a running event, frustrated by the lack of quality women's athletic wear at affordable prices and inclusive sizes. Without any prior business experience, Meg used her textiles and design education to solve the problem through the business she's founded, Her Tribe Athletics. In today's episode, I'm talking with Meg about starting a business with no business experience, and growing slow while she maintains her career as an art teacher. The focus seems to be on growing fast these days, but you don't have to quit your day job to start a business. A slow start can be the best way to work through the initial challenges of a new business without blowing your budget.   About the Guest: Meg is a passionate runner and yogi. She found her love of exercise through her weight loss journey of 70 pounds and has been hitting the pavement ever since. Running and exercise have shown her that she has a body that can do amazing things - including have two children! Meg majored in textile design & art education at MassArt, and is full time elementary art teacher. She loves incorporating her passion for exercise with her art background - personally designing everything that comes through Her Tribe Athletics. She is excited to build a tribe of amazing, strong women here who want to have fun while working out in affordable and comfortable athletic clothes. Her Tribe Athletics began with a vision to provide affordable, comfortable workout clothing for women of all shapes and sizes. Clothing that doesn't move around and fits the way you need it to!

So often mothers look at their career break as a significant negative to overcome when they look to return to the workforce. But in the case of Janis Powers, founder of the cutting edge start-up Longitudinal Health Care, it was so much more than that. By taking advantage of different developmental opportunities, Janis was able to return from her break not only with a fresh perspective on the industry in which she worked, but also with new skills that are serving her well now as founder and fundraiser for her company. Janis and I talk about the importance of exercising your brain while on career break, why you should do something you're interested in unrelated to your kids, and how strategic volunteering can help launch your next career.   Check out Janis' fictional story on professional motherhood, Mama's Got a Brand New Job, and her nonfiction analysis of the American health care system, Health Care: Meet the American Dream.   About the Guest: Janis Powers is the CEO and Founder of Longitudinal Health Care, a start-up on a mission to eliminate health insurance. Today's insurance model is based on spreading risk across multiple constituents in the health care ecosystem. Janis' company thinks this model is flawed because there should be very little risk due to advancements in genetics and predictive analytics. Prior to Longitudinal, Janis worked as a health care strategy and operations consultant and became fixated on health care's cost accounting problem. The electronic medical records that many providers use are really billing systems, not cost accounting systems. That means there's a lack of understanding about how much goods and services delivered by providers actually cost. It's an important reason why consumers can't get their hands on good pricing information. Addressing this pricing issue is a critical component of Longitudinal's business strategy. Prior to Longitudinal, Janis published the Amazon Bestselling book Health Care: Meet the American Dream. The book describes why the current health care system needs structural change and then lays out a “perfect world” model for how it could be.

National health spending accounted for 17.7% of U.S. GDP, and is projected to grow to nearly 20% by 2028. Are Americans getting what they're paying for? According to my guest this week, Janis Powers, they're not. Janis is the founder and CEO of Longitudinal Health Care and host of The Powers Report Podcast, where listeners get her unshackled, candid perspectives on American health care. In this episode, Janis talks to us about how her company is trying to change the current costly health care model by incorporating more transparency and more personal responsibility, while reducing risk.   About the Guest: Janis Powers is the CEO and Founder of Longitudinal Health Care, a start-up on a mission to eliminate health insurance.

This episode originally aired July 2, 2020. We hope you enjoy this encore episode of our interview with Laurel Rutledge. Too many of us have accepted the stress and misery that comes with our careers. If you're unhappy in your professional life, but feel like you need to stick it out because you think “This is what it feels like to be successful,” this episode is for you. Our guest, HR and career strategist Laurel Rutledge, is on a mission to help more women get out of career misery and into a career path aligned with their values and skills. In this empowering episode, you'll learn: Why we stay in jobs that are making us miserable How saying yes to new opportunities can help us find the path to where we really want to go professionally How to improve our experience when we feel stuck in a job that is not serving us well   About the Guest: With nearly 30 years of domestic and global, Laurel speaks the language of organizations. She uses her specialized expertise in risk management, consulting and human resources to guide individual clients through a customized process to address the challenges they are facing while building their teams. Laurel created LaurelRutledge.com, The Rutledge Perspective Podcast and The ReSource after nearly 30 years in a corporate career. She has built functions, led turnarounds and led the HR/audit function of M&A activities. Being data-driven as well as people focused, Laurel knows how to work with leaders ensure that all aspects of a decision are brought forward and those in decision-making positions are accountable for the decisions that are made. It's not about who is right, but about what is the best decision to be made with the greatest return and the least amount of negative people impact. In starting her own business, Laurel recognized the frustration and confusion happening when small business owners were starting to hire teams. All of a sudden, the focus moved from their business “zone of genius” to the unknown of human resources management. “I wanted to alleviate the pain and frustration of these small business owners – especially women in business” To help them minimize the risk of costly fines and penalties by learning to “LEAD with their HEART, but ACT with their HEAD.” www.laurelrutledge.com https://www.instagram.com/laurel.k.rutledge https://www.instagram.com/the.resource.bylkr/ https://www.facebook.com/therutledgeperspective https://www.facebook.com/theresourcebylkr   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business. Through her time as a commercial banker, consultant and mentor to budding entrepreneurs, she helped clients create solid business and financial strategies to help propel their business to success. While working with aspiring female entrepreneurs, Janice noticed that the same four themes kept repeating: Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life. Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn't fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. Mothers didn't want money to drive their family decisions. From these themes The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.   Visit the Money, Career, & Motherhood website, Facebook page, Facebook group, or on Instagram.   Thanks for listening!

The way we work changed almost overnight when Covid hit. In the beginning, we thought the changes were temporary. But now, companies and individuals are adapting to a new normal, where remote work is permanent and change is constant. In this episode of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast I'm talking with Rebecca Scott, host of the Humans, Now and Then podcast, about the changes companies need to make to adjust to a long term remote workforce, how people are really adapting to the rate of technology change, and the shifts needed in higher education to make sure our kids leave college prepared for their future.   During this episode Rebecca referenced the gap between higher education and skills needed within today's workforce.

Let's be honest here – the idea of motherhood doesn't always match the reality. Too many women have the professional wind knocked out of them after having their first child and realizing, “I can't keep going the way I was before.” That was certainly the case for my guest on this week's episode of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast. Raquel Kelley was killing it in her career as a producer for E! Entertainment. All-nighters and red carpets were her thing…pre-baby that is. Raquel had a plan for her life, until babies turned her life upside down. Through a cross-country move, postpartum depression, and a complete career rehaul – motherhood changed everything in Raquel's life. But this isn't a sad story, because as Raquel says, “Sometimes, you have to crumble before you can be built back up.” This episode is a must listen for every mom who thought they had it all figured out, until their little bundle of joy arrived!   About the Guest: Raquel Kelley began her career at E! Entertainment on Live! From the Red Carpet. While looking glamourous from the outside, her knack for pulling back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes started here. Over the next decade Raquel climbed the ranks at NBCUniversal to become a producer on the hit show Fashion Police. Inspired by Joan Rivers, who despite being eighty-years-old could out-run, outwit, and out-cuss the entire cast and crew, Raquel wanted a comical creative outlet for herself. While going through the wedding planning process, she created I Guess I Do, a blog focusing on the funny, relatable stories behind the pretty pictures. Due to the success of her blog, Raquel became the LA expert for Conde Nast at BRIDES Magazine, a writer for Running with Heels Magazine, as well as Featured Blogger for The Huffington Post. After having her first child, she was then asked to contribute to HuffPost Parents where she was a top contributor and her articles were featured internationally. Raquel then had two children under two who served her up some major humble pie and made pulling all-nighters before awards shows and working with Joan look like a cake walk. But as she has always done, Raquel is onto her next project and is ready to pull back the curtain on her hardest job-to-date: Motherhood.   Check out MOMGUL at: Podcast: http://bit.ly/momgulpodcast Website: www.momgul.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momgul/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/momgulofficial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/momgul Personal Site: www.raquelkelley.com     About the Host: Janice Scholl helps moms navigate the money and career transitions that come with the different stages of motherhood through her work as coach, speaker, workshop facilitator, and host of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast.

Have you ever heard the phrase start with the end in mind? For most of us I think the end parenting goal is to grow our children into happy, well-adjusted, self-sufficient adults. But when my guest Kelly Nault was a college counselor many of the young adults she met were anything but. And that lack of self-confidence that came from feelings of insufficiency for those students could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Kelly and I talk about the importance of going back to the basics with our kids – teaching the life skills everyone needs to know to become independent, not just the fun extracurriculars many families are focused on in today's world. We also talk about the unique challenges of parenting a strong-willed child, and how to channel your strong-willed child's need for control into the attributes we want our kids to exhibit as adults.   About the Guest: Kelly Nault is an award-winning parenting author, recovering people pleaser & creator of the SMART Mom Path. Twenty-four years ago, Kelly struggled with a strong-willed child... whose SUPERPOWER was finding ALL her child discipline loopholes. Then...she got help (plus, her master's and pre-doctoral in counselling, too). Instead of believing positive discipline, or attachment parenting was THE answer, she created a customizable SMART Mom Path... which helps dedicated moms raise a respectful child, but WITHOUT mom burnout, nor breaking their child's spirit. Kelly's had the honour of speaking to over 1,000,000 moms as a parenting spokesperson and has been featured in publications such as Today's Parenting magazine. Her award-winning book is called, When You're About to Go Off the Deep End... Don't Take Your Kids With You. Kelly's passion is helping committed moms with a strong-willed child eliminate the exhausting tantrums and fights, so they can enjoy a loving family and be more of the mom their children deserve! Kelly's FREE quiz: “What's Your Mom Type?” helps moms discover their SECRET alter ego and is found at www.JoyfullyParenting.com.   About the Host: Janice Scholl helps moms navigate the money and career transitions that come with the different stages of motherhood through her work as coach, speaker, workshop facilitator, and host of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast.

Have you noticed that it's hard to make changes in your money habits? You seriously tell yourself that you're really going to stick to the budget or stop spending this time. But without even noticing, your budget slides to the back burner and you're back to your old spending ways. In this episode, we're going to talk about the foundations for a healthy relationship for money, to set you up for success with the changes you want to make in your financial life. You can focus all your efforts on improving your money habits, but that's only one part of a strong money foundation. If you're weak in another area, there will still be challenges to overcome.

Most of us recognize that the culture we grow up in has a significant impact on our beliefs and how we parent our own children. But what do we do when we want to instill beliefs different from those of our parents into our own children? In this episode, I'm talking with Christie Lazo, host of the Vida with Christie podcast about culture and finance.

What do you do when you build the life you always had planned for yourself – the prominent career, active family, thriving social life, contributing community member – but it doesn't feel the way you imagined it would? Instead of a sense of fullness you just feel overwhelmed and not in control of your time? What impact does this have on your family?   Family life is often just something we scramble to do outside of work hours. We do our best to fit in what we can, but often feel like we're catching up on what we want for our family because of the constant demands from work and outside activities. There's always more work, activities, and things to do than we have time for. But the best families don't happen by chance in between meetings. The best families are built.    In today's episode, I'm talking with Kimberly Amici, founder of Build Your Best Family. Kimberly helps her clients define and create a purposeful family culture by starting with one question – What do you want your family to be known for?   About the Guest: Kimberly is known for her creativity, strong faith, and commitment to living life with purpose and passion. She is an entrepreneur, designer, and podcast producer. She is the founder of Build Your Best family which helps people live a life of purpose with the ones they love and become the family they were meant to be through podcasts, courses, and personal coaching. Kimberly also writes at www.kimberlyamici.com. She lives with her husband Carl and their three teenagers in the NYC suburbs.   FB: https://www.facebook.com/KimberlyAmiciBuildYourBestFamily/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buildyourbestfamily/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyamici/   About the Host: Janice Scholl helps moms navigate the money and career transitions that come with the different stages of motherhood through her work as coach, speaker, workshop facilitator, and host of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast.

According to the recent Women in the Workplace 2020 report by McKinsey and LeanIn, 1 out of 4 women are considering a leave of absence or stepping out of the workforce at this time. COVID has placed working women under a greater burden of workload, stress, and risk. While there has been a lot of talk in the news about the impact of COVID on working mothers, little has been said to help women actually make the decision to stay or leave the workforce. In today's episode, I'm providing mothers with a framework to help them decide if a career break is right for them. The challenge is there is no right answer that applies to all mothers! If after this episode you're a mom still trying to figure things out, book a FREE 30-minute career break strategy session today.   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business. Through her time as a commercial banker, consultant and mentor to budding entrepreneurs, she helped clients create solid business and financial strategies to help propel their business to success. While working with aspiring female entrepreneurs, Janice noticed that the same four themes kept repeating: Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life. Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn't fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. Mothers didn't want money to drive their family decisions. From these themes The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.   Sign up here for a FREE 30-minute strategy session with Janice here.

I hear time and time again from women who are not comfortable with the world financial planning, but who want to learn. Research shows that despite growth in income by women in recent years, many remain less confident in their finances than men. Sometimes women still leave the financial planning activities for their families to their spouse, but it's so important for both men and women, husbands and wives, to be involved in the financial planning for their families. Men and women often think about long term life plans differently, and the most successful family financial plans incorporate both. In today's episode, I'm talking with Gaea Verneris, Financial Advisor and Owner of Legacy One Financial about the importance of women being involved in their family's planning process, as well as ways women can start learning about financial planning without getting overwhelmed by the tons of opinions available online.   About the Guest: Gaea is a small-town girl, born and raised in the mountains of Twain Harte, CA. Always enjoying an outdoor adventure, she spent her summers climbing trees, bike riding, swimming and her winters on skis! She loves the mountains, however, her career brought her to Ventura County in 2006. After graduating from Sacramento State University with a degree in Digital Media, she embarked on her next journey and moved to sea. She started and grew the video department for Princess Cruises and lived on cruise ships on and off for the next six years. After setting up most of the fleet with video, the corporate office pulled her in to manage from shore in California. In 2009 she decided it was time for a career change and while doing some soul searching found Edward Jones. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would become a Financial Advisor, but she took a chance, got hired, passed her exams, opened an office in Carpinteria, CA and never looked back. She absolutely loves her career, and helping people realize their dreams is her passion. She believes financial planning involves more than the game of the stock market, and loves all of her clients and helping them pursue their goals. With nine years of industry experience at Edward Jones behind her, she decided she wanted greater flexibility to offer different solutions that better catered to her client's needs and risk. This led to the creation of Legacy One Financial. Gaea is passionate about providing an experience that helps her clients live happier and healthier lives! She is excited for the opportunity to partner with LPL Financial, one of the leading financial services companies and one of the largest independent broker/dealers in the nation. She is also in some aspect partnered with other large consulting firms under the LPL umbrella, with offices across California. These partnerships afford Legacy One the ability to offer the best array of products for her clients. She is excited for the opportunity to meet and work with new individuals with her company, Legacy One Financial. Gaea and her husband Jay have an adorable 3-year-old girl named Bayzil, who keeps them on their toes and brings more joy to their world than they ever thought possible. As a family, they love to travel around the globe, see concerts and live music, go wine tasting, spend time with family and friends, give back to the community and live life to the fullest. Her own family life and time in this career has also taught her how to get her own financial well-being in check, and for that she is truly grateful.

We're most likely to find our next job opportunity or client through our existing network, but growing and cultivating professional relationships in the time of COVID is challenging. That's why I'm interviewing Janice Porter, LinkedIn strategist, networking coach, and host of the Relationships Rule Podcast to teach us how to develop relationships, not just make connections, through LinkedIn. If you've got limited time to grow your network, hate mixers and professional events, or are limited in making new connections due to COVID, this episode is for you. In this episode, Janice Porter referenced the book, “The Power of Human Connection: How Relationship Marketing is Changing the Way People Succeed.”   About the Guest: Janice began her career as a teacher, was a corporate trainer and has now been in business for herself for several years.  She found her niche coaching and training business professionals to network at a mastery level and turn their connections into new business. For Janice, it's all about relationships! First and foremost is her family – she is very proud of her two daughters, and appreciates the support of her husband through all that she does.  Having an innate curiosity, she has leveraged that into building business relationships and teaches others how to do the same.  Connecting people is a skill that Janice uses, when needed – and only when she feels that it will be managed most professionally - as she holds her relationships very dearly. Her passion is working with people who want to build their businesses through relationship marketing and networking – and she does that using online and offline strategies. LinkedIn training is a huge part of Janice's business.  She believes anyone in business or looking for a new position, needs to have a professional LinkedIn profile, and that LinkedIn is a powerful, under-utilized online platform for attracting new clients, new referral partners, or being found by recruiters. Staying connected, and nurturing relationships comes next – and Janice shows clients how to implement a Tangible Touch follow-up system with clients, prospects, and associates to stay in front of them, while at the same time celebrating and appreciating them on a consistent basis. Janice really values the friendships and business relationships she makes and when she meets someone new is always thinking: “How may I support you?”. You can listen to Janice on her Relationships Rule Podcast on iTunes, Sticher, and most other podcast platforms. Learn more about how Janice can help you use LinkedIn to its full potential or improve your networking skills at www.janiceporter.com, and of course on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/janiceporter/.     About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business.

Let's be honest – We all procrastinate in one way or another. What does procrastinating look like for you? For some of us, it may be an activity that takes our focus away from the real work that needs to be done. For others, it's decision avoidance. Solving your procrastination, regardless of what it looks like, requires a shift in mindset. In today's episode of The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast I'm talking with Cristina Roman, founder of Pique Coaching, about how to beat your procrastination once and for all.   About the Guest: Cristina Roman is a Washington, DC-based Certified Life Coach, though you may find her wandering the streets of Guatemala or Italy. She helps distracted, rushed, overwhelmed professionals free up their time and energy, so that they can finally refocus on that thing they've put on the back burner. (Is that you? Download this quick-start guide for getting into a deep work state in 15 minutes.) She half-jokes that she's the Cross Legged Coach; her goal is always to keep things casual but wildly impactful for her clients.

Never has there been a more chaotic time in the lives of many mamas! I know many of us…ahem, me…have thought once or twice lately that there's no way to improve the efficiency and reduce the stress in our household because of all the things we have going on. But it's possible!  In today's episode, I'm interviewing Laura Hernandez of Mama Systems. With 10 children and 20+ appointments weekly, “peace” is not the word you would probably guess to describe Laura's household. Yet somehow, it's what she's created and now she's working with moms across the country to bring that same peace and calm into their homes. I talk with Laura about what it was like when her family grew by six children in less than five years, and how letting go of what others thought of her was a requirement to create the family life where she, her husband, and children can thrive.   About the Guest: My name is Laura Hernandez. My husband, Tony, and I are raising our ten amazing children in the Dallas area. In the past four and a half years we have added six new children to our family... three biologically and three through adoption. Going from four to ten kids was hard work. And, on top of having a large family, we are also not your "typical" family. We have three kiddos in public school, we are homeschooling five kids, and - with three kiddos having special needs - we have over 20 appointments weekly. I read many books on homeschooling schedules, large family logistics, and family dynamics; but I found over and over again that nothing that was already out there was fully relevant to our family! I had to figure out what worked for US and I had to do it myself. Books didn't have the perfect answers. How could we manage all of our logistics and have-tos and make time to intentionally instill the ideals that our family values?  It took me years to develop systems and life hacks to keep our family running and organized. But after creating systems that helped our family run smoothly, it reduced my daily workload and my house became a place of peace... yes, even with 10 kids!  ​Out of these years of hard work, Mama Systems was born. I want to save other Mamas the pains I went through to figure it out on my own. I want to bring more peace to their homes by coaching them through ideas, schedules, incentives, chores, and delegating.  Learn more at mamasystems.net, or follow me on Instagram or Facebook @mamasystems.   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business.

Divorce can be painful and complex for anyone, but it often presents even greater challenges for women. According to research, women's income drops significantly more than men's after divorce. And because more women take family-driven career breaks to raise children, they are often the ones left struggling to figure out how they can meet the financial needs of their family after divorce. I'm talking with Dr. Sacheen Mobley, host of the So, You're Getting Divorced podcast. Dr. Sacheen uses her own divorce story as fuel to help women move beyond the pain of divorce and create a plan for the life they want. She has so much great advice that we're breaking this episode into two parts.

Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn't fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. Mothers didn't want money to drive their family decisions. From these themes The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.

Divorce can be painful and complex for anyone, but it often presents even greater challenges for women. According to research, women's income drops significantly more than men's after divorce. And because more women take family-driven career breaks to raise children, they are often the ones left struggling to figure out how they can meet the financial needs of their family after divorce. In this 2-part episode, I'm talking with Dr. Sacheen Mobley, host of the So, You're Getting Divorced podcast. Dr. Sacheen uses her own divorce story as fuel to help women move beyond the pain of divorce and create a plan for the life they want. She has so much great advice that we're breaking this episode into two parts. In Part 1, we'll hear from Dr. Sacheen about how to come to a place of acceptance in your divorce, and how to decide who you are now after your identity has changed so dramatically. We're also talking about why women – whether working or not – need to be thinking about their personal economy separately from the family economy, even in a healthy marriage.   About the Guest: Dr. Sacheen Mobley is the Creatrix-in-Chief of Living and Loving Your Best, LLC. Dr. Sacheen writes, speaks, teaches and coaches on the topics of finding your purpose, communication, and life after divorce and her latest book, “So, You're Getting Divorced? Notes for the Journey” is a #1 Amazon best-seller (http://bit.ly/SoYoureGettingDivorced). She has written several webinars and e-books and has been a teacher for over 15 years. She is published in several magazines including Spiritual Badass, The Spiritual Entrepreneur, and WomELLE. Her company serves women who are in transforming and, as she says, “I help them go from pieces to peace of mind”.

Have you tried everything you can think of to support your struggling learner, yet they still struggle? In this episode, I'm talking with educational therapists and cohosts of the Learn Smarter Podcast, Rachel Kapp, and Stephanie Pitts. Educational therapy is different than tutoring because it focuses on helping students develop the strategies they need to become independent learners. In this episode, you'll learn: What an educational therapist does Why the goal of a good educational therapist is to work themselves out of a job How parent's focus on student potential without addressing concerns can negatively impact a child's academic performance, self-confidence, and family relationships The importance of executive functioning and organization as students transition into the middle and high school years   About the Guests: Rachel Kapp, M.A., ET/P Rachel grew up in Los Angeles.

Every mother out there right now is trying to make decisions when all of the options on the table are less than ideal between home, work, and school. This week, I continue the discussion we started last week to equip mothers with tools they need to make the tough decisions. While a probability impact matrix is used regularly in business and project management, we're talking about how it's an excellent tool to use in our personal lives, because it helps moms identify where to focus their energy and resources when there's many “what if” scenarios on the table.    Download visuals of the tools used in these two episodes plus other decision making tips here.   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business.

Every mother out there right now is trying to make decisions when all of the options on the table are less than ideal between home, work, and school. In this episode, I talk with my friend and teacher Sarah Baxter about how she used a decision matrix to plan her course of action when her career and the educational needs of her son came into direct conflict due to COVID-19. Sarah and I talk about the importance of moving beyond “what if” and into “what then” in planning how to approach less than ideal scenarios in an incredibly uncertain future, and how drawing her line in the sand on what she was willing to do really empowered her to move forward.   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business.

Have you ever wondered what a financial coach does and if they may be able to help you get your money right? If so, my conversation with Maggie Germano, financial coach, and host of the podcast Money Circle, is for you.
