Pitchcast

Chelsea Brennan is the money mama we all need in life. She shares her journey from hedge fund manager to launching Smart Money Mamas, a venture serving women from all walks. From the death of loved ones and divorce to financial abuse and wealth building aspirations, the stories of the women she serves are riveting. She talks us through how to set up a trust or will, what to do if you need to transition out of alternative investments, and we explore what it can look like to be a stay-at-home parent with financial security. Chelsea tells us that while women normally manage the budget in a family, they are more rarely the ones who handle investing. She gives us the tools and money habits we need to rethink financial independence. Chelsea has contributed to Forbes and regularly featured in publications like INSIDER, the Huffington Post, Scary Mommy, Netflix and more.

We are kicking off the relaunch of Pitchcast with guest and entrepreneur Kaley Medina! When her first child was born, Kaley launched a pediatric and adult sleep coaching agency, Live Love Sleep (https://www.livelovesleep.com/), that has grown to include 10 consultants across the U.S. She left her career in the oil and gas industry in 2020, and has budgeted her way to financial independence since then. She's paid off her mortgage and in three more years, expects to have enough to live on comfortably, allowing her husband to transition to work with their company full time. Kaley walks us through the journey, how her and her husband merged money philosophies, what she'd do differently when starting a business, how much to have on hand when departing the corporate world, and how she's mentally adjusted to the freedom of entrepreneurship. Thank you, Kaley! Visit Kaley on IG here (https://www.instagram.com/baby.sleep.help/). Visit the Live Love Sleep website here (https://www.livelovesleep.com/). The 4% retirement rule is mentioned in this episode. You can learn about that here (https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/05/29/how-much-do-i-need-for-retirement/). A 6% annualized return on investments is discussed and you can learn more about that here (https://www.kiplinger.com/investing/stocks/601575/keeping-an-eye-on-future-returns).
