In Part 2 of my money journey on She’s The Standard Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the financial education we should have been taught, but weren’t.

This episode is raw, honest and unapologetic. I share why I believe the traditional schooling system failed us when it comes to money, investing and wealth building and how my husband and I are choosing a different path for our family through worldschooling, homeschooling and real-life financial literacy.

Inside this episode, we dive into:

• Why debt is not the enemy (and how wealthy people use it as “support money”)

• How to use credit cards strategically for points, travel and leverage

• The difference between linear income vs leveraged income

• Choosing your asset class (property, stocks, crypto, business, Airbnb — what actually aligns with your values?)

• Why we chose Bitcoin, Ethereum and index funds as part of our long-term strategy

• How we’re diversifying income through offshore structures and set-and-forget investing

• The compounding effect in business and investing (and why 5–10 years changes everything)

• Why having one solid leveraged business model matters more than “multiple streams of income”

• How we’re building investment portfolios for our kids so they receive six figures by 25

I also share our “3 jar system” for our children — investment, gratitude and play money — and how we’re teaching them leadership, ownership and financial responsibility from as young as five and seven.

This conversation is about more than crypto, stocks or budgeting. It’s about mindset. It’s about choice. It’s about breaking generational patterns and deciding that your life, your wealth and your future get to look different.

We talk budgeting for 2026, tracking income vs expenses, investing monthly (even if it’s $20), and why your business will only grow to the degree you are willing to grow internally.

If you’re in your 20s, building a business, raising a family, or simply tired of repeating the same financial cycles — this episode will shift your perspective on:

- Financial freedom

- Asset classes

- Investing for beginners

- Wealth building strategies

- Crypto investing basics

- Index funds for kids

- Leveraged business models

- Money mindset and long-term compounding

This is about intentional wealth creation, not hustle culture.
Freedom. Choice. Vitality.

And maybe… Part 3 with Nick is coming soon!
