38 | Your Money Story Was Written Before You Were 7. Here's How To Rewrite It. 21.10.2026 18m

Your money mindset was formed by the age of seven. Before you ever had a paycheck. Before you ever had a choice.But here is the good news — you still have the power to change it today. And more importantly, you get to decide where your kids start.In this episode I am getting really personal. I am sharing what it felt like to become a mom for the first time, why I was always labeled the spender growing up, and the hilarious but convicting moment my son said something in the back of my car that stopped me completely in my tracks.And then I am sharing my grandmother’s story — the one that reminds me every single time why the hard changes are always worth it.This one is not about budgets or investing tips. It is about legacy. About breaking cycles. About what becomes possible for your kids and their kids when you finally decide to do something different.This episode is dedicated to my son on his birthday. And I think it might be exactly what you needed to hear today.How $10 Can Become $20,000 By Their 18th Birthday - Join the free calls happening on 10/26 + 11/16 when you purchaseFREE Contribution JournalFREE No Debt Christmas TrackerGet the FREE High Yield Savings Account GuideConnect with me on InstagramGet a custom financial plan with Greater FinancialThis content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered personalized financial advice.

37 | The $50 Toy That Could Be $30,000 Instead 14.10.2026 15m

If one more toy shows up in my house I might lose my mind. And I know I am not alone.In this episode I am talking about what I actually think is one of the best Christmas gifts you can give your child this year - and it is not on any wish list. We are talking about what happens when we simplify the gifts, invest the difference, and give our kids something that will still matter when they are twenty five and buying their first home or starting their first business.I am also sharing a really cool contribution journal idea I got from a fellow money content creator (@moneytalkmal) that will let your kids one day see every single person who ever invested in their future - every birthday, every Christmas, every random Tuesday when grandma puts $25 in.And I am walking you through exactly how to set this up before the holiday questions start rolling in - the account, how family members can contribute, and how to have that conversation without being the Grinch.Because$50 a month for 20 years is over $30,000 in today's dollars!!!! And it starts with one decision. One account. One text that says - "actually this year we are doing something a little different."FREE Contribution JournalFREE No Debt Christmas TrackerHow $10 Can Become $20,000 By Their 18th BirthdayGet the FREE High Yield Savings Account GuideConnect with me on InstagramGet a custom financial plan with Greater FinancialThis content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered personalized financial advice.

35 | Why Not Listening to God Cost Me $5,000 – 3 Stewardship Lessons I Learned the Hard Way 30.09.2026 15m

Not listening to the Lord cost us over $5,000 last year.In this episode I am getting really vulnerable and sharing two situations from the past year where the Lord was speaking clearly - and I chose my comfort over His direction. And looking back I can see every nudge I explained away and every sign I ignored.But here is the thing. Stewardship is not just about managing your money well. It is about stewarding what God is telling you to do. And partial obedience - the kind where you hear Him but tweak it just a little to feel safer - is still disobedience.I am walking you through three lessons I learned the expensive way - because I think someone listening needed to hear this today. Maybe you have been ignoring a nudge. Maybe you have been waiting for a clearer sign. Maybe the unsettled feeling you keep explaining away is actually the sign.This one is honest, it's real and it's messy. And I hope it gives you one of those moments where you think - "oh, that was Him speaking to me too."Start Investing for Your Child With As Little As $10Get the FREE High Yield Savings Account GuideConnect with me on InstagramGet a custom financial plan with Greater FinancialThis content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered personalized financial advice.

34 | The Real Reason We Paid Off $87,000 of Debt - And It Had Nothing to Do With Money 23.09.2026 17m

The real reason my husband and I paid off $87,000 of debt had nothing to do with stewardship. It had nothing to do with compound interest or financial freedom. It was a lot more personal than that.In this episode I am pulling back the curtain on the story I have never really said directly on this podcast before - growing up with a front row seat to what money fights can do to a marriage, the vow I made to myself long before I ever knew what a debt snowball was, and how one conversation my husband had about Dave Ramsey changed the entire trajectory of our family.And then I am walking you through three questions I would ask any client who sat across from me and said Carolina I know I need to do something about this debt but I just cannot seem to make it happen. Because the answer is almost never about the numbers. It is almost always about the vision.This one is personal. This one is real. And if you have been carrying debt for so long you have forgotten what relief actually feels like - this episode is for you.Come find me on Instagram after you listen and tell me which question stopped you in your tracks.

32 | The $10 Decision That Could Change Your Child's Life Forever 09.09.2026 12m

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your child's future had nothing to do with the school they go to or the sports they play and everything to do with a decision you make today for as little as $10?In this episode I am introducing my Peach Tree Framework -- a simple three step approach to investing for your kids that makes the whole thing feel a lot less overwhelming and a lot more doable. We are talking about why the environment you plant in matters, why ten dollars a week is more powerful than you think, and the one step most people completely miss that leaves their money sitting in a dark closet losing value instead of growing.Oh and there is an unexpected guest appearance I was not planning on. 🥹Because here is what I know from coaching and advising families. The moms who start, even with the smallest amounts, never regret it. Not one. But the ones who wait? They all say the same thing every single time.And as we head into the holiday season - if your family keeps asking what to get the kids and you genuinely do not want one more toy in your house - this episode has your answer.My favorite budgeting appStart Investing for Your Child With As Little As $10Get the FREE High Yield Savings Account GuideConnect with me on InstagramThis content is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered personalized financial advice.

33 | The Budget Line Item That Changed Everything and How It Became One of My Favorite Savings Hacks 16.09.2026 13m

So I made saying no feel exciting instead.This is not a deprivation episode. I literally went to Starbucks the day I recorded this. This is about awareness, intention, and what a budget can actually do for you when you stop seeing it as a restriction and start seeing it as the tool that makes the vacation, the kids' accounts, and the guilt free coffee all possible.Because that coffee you said no to?

30 | The Most Powerful Thing a Mom Can Do With Money And Nobody Is Talking About It 26.08.2026 14m

In this episode I am getting really honest about why I have sometimes shrunk back from this conversation and why I am done letting the enemy use that as a reason to stay quiet. Because Jesus talked about money in eleven of thirty nine parables. He was not afraid of the conversation. And that means we cannot be either.This one goes deeper than budgets and investing. We are talking about what money actually is and what happens when it lands in the hands of a faithful steward versus someone who was never taught how to steward it.We are talking about discipling your kids' hearts around money on purpose and why the account you open for your kids today matters but the conversations you have around it matter even more.This one is personal.

I may have missed Christmas in July, but Christmas in August is still effective.Because here is what I know, Christmas comes on the same day every single year and somehow it still catches us completely off guard financially.
