Episode Summary:

Today's episode is a replay of one of our most downloaded episodes yet and one of my favorites. Listen in and start taking control of your personal finances...

40% of American’s can’t afford a $400 emergency. That’s a crisis if I’ve ever heard one. Let's talk about building long-term wealth.

If you’re like me, at one point in your life you’ve probably completely ignored your personal finances. Whether you let your partner handle all the finances for your family or you feel like you don’t understand the financial space enough to step up and take responsibility for your own money, this episode will help you feel more empowered about your finances.

My husband Austin and I are joined by our good friend Allegra Moet Brantly, Founder of Factora, a company on a mission to help 1 million women build $1 million in net worth. In this episode, we talk about personal finances, establishing a financial foundation, and building long-term wealth.
