In this milestone episode, the Besties welcome their first-ever male guest, Kevin Cross, financial advisor and co-founder of Previs Wealth (and Kelsey’s cousin!). Together, they dive into money mindset, financial literacy, and how to build security without shame — all through honest, easy-to-understand conversations.


From Kelsey’s early “new mom on a budget” story to Kevin’s practical tips for saving, debt, and planning for the future, this episode takes the fear out of finances and replaces it with confidence, strategy, and a little humor.


Key Topics & Highlights:

  • Starting from Zero: How Kelsey’s financial journey began with one tough-love conversation that changed everything.
  • The Five Building Blocks of Financial Health: Kevin’s simple, approachable steps for budgeting, saving, managing debt, and planning long-term.
  • Debt Talk (Without the Shame): The difference between “good” and “bad” debt — and why credit cards can be both.
  • Retirement & Future Planning: Why starting small now matters more than waiting until it’s “the right time.”
  • Women & Money: Breaking through old gender norms in finance and encouraging more women to take the lead.
  • Life, Legacy, and Family: How to prepare for the unexpected — from wills and insurance to protecting your loved ones.
