#66-The Parenting Shift That Raises Financially Confident Kids with Adele Marriott
Join Vicki McDougall as she chats with Adele Marriott about Little Finance Builders and the importance of family financial talks. Adele shares her journey from early financial exposure to teaching literacy to kids aged 3-10, including her own daughters. They discuss children's financial mindsets, practical examples, and Adele's hopes for her daughters' independence. Adele also talks about her shift from corporate life to single motherhood, highlighting family support and quality time. The episode emphasizes empowering women, building community, and modeling financial literacy for kids, wrapping up with family moments and resources for parents.
In this episode of The Art of BEing Unstoppable, Vicki McDougall sits down with Adele Marriott, CPA, MBA, single mother of two, and Founder & CEO of Little Finance Builders, for an empowering conversation about financial literacy, motherhood, and building confidence from a young age.
Adele shares her journey of leaving a 21-year corporate career to pursue her mission of helping children develop a strong foundation in financial education. As a single mother by choice, she opens up about the courage it took to step into entrepreneurship while raising two young children, and the values that continue to guide her both personally and professionally.
This conversation highlights the importance of teaching financial literacy early — starting as young as age three — and how open, honest conversations about money can shape a child’s mindset for life. Adele shares practical insights on raising financially confident kids without perfection, while also emphasizing the role of parents in breaking generational patterns around money.
Together, Vicki and Adele explore the power of community, the importance of empowering women to challenge traditional norms, and how small shifts in how we talk about money can create lasting impact for future generations.
This episode is for parents, caregivers, and anyone looking to build a healthier, more confident relationship with money — for themselves and the next generation.
