  • Allowance, Hustles, and Hard Truths: Raising Money-Smart Kids" with Rachel Cruze
    May 6 2025
    How do you teach your kids to actually handle money—and not just spend it? In this episode, Paula sits down with personal finance expert Rachel Cruze to break down practical ways to raise financially confident kids. Rachel shares why it’s important for kids to earn their own money early through chores, learn to divide it between saving, giving, and spending, and even open their own checking accounts before they leave home. Plus, the hilarious story of how Rachel and her sister hustled snacks at their dad’s office (Dave Ramsey!)—and what it taught them about real-world money skills. Rachel also explains why a little struggle is healthy—and how letting kids make small financial mistakes now can save them from major ones later. If you want your kids to grow up with real-world money smarts (and grit), this conversation is a must-listen. LIFE HAPPENS. Let’s Talk About It.

  • The Counter-Cultural Secret of Planned Emancipation: Why Parenting Doesn’t Have to Be Hard
    Apr 29 2025
    What if parenting didn’t have to be as frustrating as it often feels—especially during the teenage years? Dr. Ken Wilgus, author of Feeding the Mouth That Bites You, joins John and me in this episode to reveal his game-changing approach to parenting called "Planned Emancipation." The idea: give your teens freedoms—starting at 13—to make choices about their lives, like what they watch, how clean their room is, and more. I’ll be honest, when I first heard Dr. Wilgus explain his method, I had a hard time with it. But as we dug deeper into the conversation, I warmed up to it... and I’m already starting to implement it in my own approach to parenting. But what's the catch? It’s not about losing control: it’s about empowering your kids to take responsibility for their own decisions. Dr. Wilgus explains why giving freedoms, rather than privileges, builds autonomy, strengthens responsibility, and ultimately makes the teen years smoother for both parents and kids. This conversation will challenge the way you think about raising your kids. With so much conflicting parenting advice out there, Dr. Wilgus' method teaches us how to move beyond the stress and truly prepare our kids for adulthood. If you're ready to take the frustration out of your relationship with your teen, this episode is a must-listen! Key takeaways: The key difference between parenting and raising kids. How giving freedoms, not privileges, builds real responsibility. Why holding teens accountable with freedom is the secret to reducing conflict. What's the catch? Tune in to find out how this simple shift could revolutionize your parenting style! LIFE HAPPENS. Let’s Talk About It.
