Rachelle Crow-Hercher, Director of Michigan Education Justice Coalition (MEJC) and Jamila Martin, co-Chair of Fund MI Future are launching a ballot proposal called "Invest In MI Kids" to tax the rich and fund our schools. Learn all about how we got here, what this proposal entails, and how you can help this effort.

As a society, we don't know how to talk about money. Many of us were actively discouraged - and were not even taught the basics about how to manage our personal finances.

Learn what women in particular need to know about our personal finances. You'll be surprised by the thoughtful, and often hilarious, advice!

We are living in divided, chaotic, and often anxious times. Joining us on this episode is Harper West, licensed psychotherapist and author. She helps us navigate with a focus on our mental health. It's an episode you won't want to miss. Share with your besties!
