If you're thinking it seems like you just heard an episode last week, you're correct. This whole teach your children concept provides so much value, the intent is to get as much of it completed while the kids are out of school and still at home. In this episode, your hosts, Matthew Grishman and Jim Gebhardt dig just a little deeper into the education of our children on what's important to them. Getting clarity through the "Clarity Compass" applied to your children can really open up their eyes to the concept of money. Similar to the earlier chapter in the book or episode on the podcast, the difference in this episode is the anecdotal stories and the specific application for the kids. And yes, there is a homework assignment. What would you expect from an episode that starts out with "Class is in session???"For more information about Financial Sobriety, visit the website www.yourfinancialsobriety.com

When the original episode was recorded, the "Child Tax Credits" were being distributed without the apparently requisite instruction manual on how to make the most of the money being received. That conversation made for an evergreen discussion on financial literacy for children and teens and even college students as they all need it desperately. This is a conversation that should be had even more than as en "encore" but frequently in communities, in schools, at home. Often. If you've missed this episode the first time around, or even the second, be sure to get yourself caught up. We all need to push for financial literacy for our children wherever or however it's going to happen.

Summertime has become the opportunity to brush up, refresh, reset and, well, relaunch the most popular "series" of episodes of Financial Sobriety, The "Teach Your Children" series on helping parents help their children learn about money and how it's so much more than just a buck to burn. By far, the most shared and played episodes in the library, they warrant the re-acquaintance. They're becoming classic, Matthew and Jim in providing you valuable information to support your efforts to help your children become more intentional with their money. (Once they learn what that really means, of course!)Continuing the theme of teaching your children financial literacy, this episode digs into respecting the value of money from an early age with some tutorial elements to help you with your children in the process of learning about the value of a dollar. The concepts may be simple in theory but the actual practice is invaluable.For more information on Financial Sobriety or to reach Matthew Grishman, visit www.yourfinancialsobriety.com

Yes, you may have heard this very first and extremely popular summer edition of the Teach Your Children series before. As a matter of fact, these are some of the most popular episodes in the library. And for good reason. Isn't parenting one of the greatest responsibilities we could take on? And helping parents along is this first in the TYC series, The Three C's. The twist this season is the fresh new content to lead you into the series as Jim and Matthew have a discussion of where they currently are with their, now mostly grown children and it's testimony to what has been put into raising them. Both the good and the not so good. If you've heard the series before and still have children you're raising, repetition can't hurt and if you're already familiar and don't feel the need to repeat the episode, simply listen for the fresh content and enjoy.

It's that time of year when summer means vacations and holidays and time away from... learning? Maybe not. While the kids may be out of school, what a great opportunity to share and teach the value of learning. And not just any learning but the education of learning about the value of the three C's. The value of money, the value of struggle and so much more. Join you hosts Jim Gebhardt and Matthew Grishman as they share their enthusiasm for getting the "Teach Your Children" series launched for it's third season.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and with so many things to be concerned about from the economy, global crisis with the environment and war, to Covid and our very own personal situations with whatever else it is we're all dealing with, it seemed a fitting time to address how good mental health is actually a solid path to Financial Sobriety.

His story is a well told compilation of events that will take you from the root of his developments toward mental hellness to anecdotal applications to mental wellness. This is part one of a two part series that will hopefully resonate with many on the way to making an impact on anyone who struggles with depression and thoughts of suicide. If you or anyone you know has ever considered harming themselves, please reach out to someone and seek professional help or call 9-8-8.For more information about David Woods Bartley, he can be reached at 916-247-6389 or on line at [email protected].

It's no secret that losing money causes trauma. The Silicon Valley Bank failure surely did some damage to many investors portfolios and likely left a significant mark on the psyche, ego and confidence of many. So what was it that happened? What is a run on the bank? How could something like this have happened in todays rapid communications world? Even more so, how could it have happened so quickly? Matthew and Jim give a layman's explanation of the collapse and take the outcome of SVB and other bank's failures back to the personal level and how that scenario may impact or affect many of us as a potentially traumatic event. Are there ways to address it? You'll be surprised at some of the solutions and suggestions. For more information about Financial Sobriety visit www.yourfinanacialsobriety.com

In the last episode the stage was set for dealing with the effects of the Covid Hangover. In this episode, Dr. Joyce Mikal-Flynn walks us through the power of her program, Metahab, to learn how to heal from the effects of Covid. This is a practical discussion that addresses how we ourselves can learn to heal from trauma and even takes a look back to us as children and how we were "taught" to learn ourselves. Looking ahead, there's even a conversation about today's child rearing and how one might best consider certain circumstances for a better outcome in helping today's children deal with adversity and trauma. For more information on Dr. Joyce Mikal-Flynn's program, visit www.metahab.comFor more information on Financial Sobriety and to find the link to her event taking place at Sacramento State University, you can visit www.yourfinancialsobriety.com
