It's easy to let our emotions lead our actions.

So many times I hear from moms "Well, I'm just the yelling mom but I wish I wasn't!" The good news is you don't have to be.

Often we want to stuff down the emotions coming through in our body, but instead, we should be leaning into them so we can start identifying how they are showing up.

In this special feature of Mini Tools, learn how to start tracking your window of tolerance so you can thrive in all aspects of your life.

Money can be a very intimate thing for people to talk about. And sometimes it is easier to avoid it all together. Even when we are married, the topic can feel uncomfortable. But what if the unexpected happens? How can you be empowered with your money? And how do you even start talking about this if your partner is the one with all the control? We cover this and so much more with today's guest, Jennifer Tix, fellow mama, and experienced financial advisor.
