My guest in Episode 49 totally surprised me – in a really good way – by making a sometimes scary topic pretty fun.

Managing money can be pretty intimidating – especially when we have so many other responsibilities on our plates. Navigating things like credit scores, credit cards, and credit card debt can add to the stress we’re already feeling on our quest to find our version of work life balance.

Back in Episode 15, I shared how I make time for money with my Finance Friday routine. So many of you reached out to let me know that a deeper dive into finances would be helpful, and that’s where Kristen Ricupero comes in.
