The world tells us that we need to DO it all and HAVE it all to be enough. As a result, many of us struggle to chase success and the almighty dollar that comes with it. We marvel at our stuff and want others to do the same. Or we compare ourselves to others and wonder why we can't afford what everyone else has. 

Financial stress can cause insomnia, prompt us to battle anxiety and feelings of shame and hopelessness, and cost us our most important relationships. Yet, we still find it difficult to discuss - oftentimes even to those closest to us. 

Join us for this eye-opening and informative episode with Special Guest Kimberly Earnest as we address all this and more. A corporate financial wellness consultant and Financial Peace University instructor, Kimberly is devoted to helping people transform the way they think about money - and find freedom in the process.

Special Guest: Kimberly Earnest
Kimberly gets to live out what she feels like God put her on this earth to do both professionally and in volunteering opportunities- helping people become better versions of themselves by helping them be more intentional with their finances.  She and her husband have led Financial Peace University classes for over a decade and she has been the Financial Wellness Specialist at Veterans United Home Loans  in Columbia, MO for the last five years.
