We all want to be the best parent we can—but that requires intention. Ebiere Bolu of Raising Your Child on Purpose joins us this week to dive into the topic!

Shopping for the family can be an expensive task, but it doesn't have to be with the right plan in place! This week we're joined by Krys the Maximizer, who uses her platforms to educate families on the value of couponing, planning, and saving.

Since she was in college, Krys has been couponing and hasn't paid full price for many of her regular household items in years.

She asked herself, "If money wasn't an issue, what would you be doing?". Her answer was couponing.

She started a YouTube channel on a whim one day while shopping with her daughter. As she shared her knowledge with her growing subscribers, her hard work paid off—her channel blew up!

Krystal has spent her whole life working, selling, and saving. Because she knows what it is to work hard, she's always looking for ways to maximize not just her income but her whole life.

Becoming Krys the Maximizer should have been a no-brainer, but in all reality, it took some drastic measures to break out of the box and fully embody who she was meant to be.

She got fired from her job in 2019, and it was the best thing to ever happen to her. After seeing firsthand how many people's lives could be changed by couponing through the success of her YouTube channel, she was more motivated than ever to help people turn their lives around by saving and making money.

While she's learned that not everyone is interested in drastically changing their life by learning to coupon, for the ones who are—she's ready to help. All you need is a little bit of know-how and strategy!

Tune in this week as we discuss how to get started with couponing and maximize your budget!

What does motherhood mean to you? This week we dive into how to define motherhood on your own terms with Chelsie Washington, host of the Weird Mom podcast. 

After becoming a mother, Chelsie realized it's been full of different nuances that no one really mentioned (or they may have mentioned it but didn't give much detail). Chelsie finds those overlooked details are what makes parenthood such a fascinating and rewarding experience—and she's passionate about shedding some light on those subjects for all the new parents, soon-to-be parents, or even the seasoned ones.

With every fiber of her being, she loves helping people, and she's on a mission to shatter that sense of loneliness and ease anxieties many mothers feel. She finds one of the best ways to do that is by sharing real stories so that we can all connect with one another.

This week on the podcast, we talk about the value of sharing experiences—the good and the bad—and how we can silence the comparisons and ultimately create a parenting style that works for you and your family. 

Maybe you've heard the motto before—"when you look good you, you feel good"? This week we're joined by stylist Katrina Lee-Jones, who walks us through simple tips to revamp our wardrobes and daily routines so that we can look and feel like our best selves!

She is one of the premiere wardrobe stylists in the Orlando area that travels so others can experience her expertise and knowledge in fashion. She offers a plethora of services that include: wardrobe styling, closet organization, fashion production, tailored shopping, event styling, and fashion essentials speaker, just to name a few.
