Ready to shake up the way we teach our kids about money? Join me as I sit down with Scott Donnell, best-selling author and host of the Smart Money Parenting podcast, putting the spotlight on financial literacy for the younger generation. Scott is on a mission to empower 50 million children and parents with financial competence through Gravy Stack, a gamified bank account for kids and teens. We're not just talking piggy banks and pocket money here; we're breaking down the poverty mindset and taking responsibility for our kids' financial education.

It's time to rethink the way we approach teaching financial skills to our children. For the past decade, Scott has been leading the charge, using platforms like business fairs and Grapestack to impart financial literacy basics to families. We dive into the mechanics of his home economy system, built around the three E’s: expectations, expenses, and extra pay. This isn't just about counting coins; it's about teaching children to make sound financial decisions, managing their money, and understanding the value of work.

We also touch upon the pressing need to build a generation of deeply connected, confident, and capable individuals. We're talking about equipping them with the skills they need to navigate the world.  So how do we do this? We're sharing insights on setting up a home money system that supports your children's financial education and prepares them for a secure future. So join us, learn, and start the conversation about money with your own families.

You know those moments when your heart is pulsing, your palms are sweaty, and your thoughts are racing a hundred miles a minute? That's emotion at its rawest and most powerful, and today, we're turning the tables on how we view these intense feelings. Instead of seeing them as destructive forces, we're chatting with life coach Jill Freestone about how to harness these big emotions to strengthen family bonds and deepen our relationships. 

Jill helps us explore the concept of emotional safety in our relationships - that crucial foundation that enables true vulnerability and connection. She shares a poignant family example, shedding light on how unchecked emotions can lead to a disconnect. We talk about strategies for establishing emotional safety, from learning to communicate effectively to being fully present for intimate conversations. We also discuss self-regulation, and how managing our own emotional states can create a nurturing environment for connection.

Jill addresses how to teach emotional intelligence to kids and manage big emotions in teenagers. She shares insightful tips on creating safe spaces for children to express their feelings and demonstrates how to effectively self-regulate. We also touch upon the controversial topic of screen time and its impact on emotions and parent-child communication. 

Wrapping up, we dive into practical advice from Jill on managing big emotions and their resultant behavior changes. It's a great episode that's going to change how you relate to your emotions, making them your allies rather than adversaries.
