I've been in the personal finance blogging and podcasting space now for over 8 years now and I've made so many great friends along the way. One of those friends is today's guest, Catherine Alford. In my early days of blogging, Cat's blog was one that I hoped to emulate and it's actually because of her that I had a side hustle as a finance writer for a period of time. For years, I've followed Cat's journey and desire to have a published book; and when I saw that her dream finally became a reality, I knew I needed to have her on the show to talk about her journey, why she never gave up and why you should check out her new book “Mom's Got Money: A millennial mom's guide to managing money like a boss.” Cat's story is so inspiring and I hope it inspires you to never give up on your dreams as well.  For more information, visit the show notes at https://www.martinisandyourmoney.com/show-notes/moms-got-money-with-cat-alford

She was on So Money last summer (EP 113) sharing details of her life as a personal finance blogger and aspiring entrepreneur. She's the breadwinner and mom to two-year-old twins. How does she do it? That was the scope of our conversation. Fast forward over a year, Cat is increasingly getting her work and message out there by collaborating with brands and doing tons more press. (Check her out on Good Morning America here!) She's become a major voice and influencer in the world of mom bosses.  She's on the program today to discuss her latest initiative - working with Allianz Tuition Insurance - to share advice around protecting your college investment in the event that you or your child needs to take a break due to an illness or injury. Not all tuition reimbursements work alike and insurance can come to the rescue.
