🎙 This week, I’m kicking off a 2-part series to end the first season of Girl on FIRE with a bang! As I prepare to celebrate my 30th birthday, I wanted to share some lessons and wisdom I’ve learned about money in my 30 year trip around the sun. 🤔

This episode discusses topics like:

🌟 The #1 lesson I learned about money that has shaped all the decisions I’ve made in my life since then;

🌟 Lessons I’ve learned about being an independent, feminist woman and money; and

🌟 Why fighting about money with your partner is never really about money.
