Milk and Motherhood

In this interview, Carly (@debtfree.mom) and I chat about the shifts that motherhood brings to the family finances, chores and allowance, grocery costs, how to talk about money around your kids, and how to plan for the future. I LOVE her tagline, that care creates contentment. You can find more info on working with Carly at debtfreemom.co.
(And THIS course on Index Funds is the retirement/investement one Carly recommended in our conversation.)

This is the second part of the conversation about pregnancy and infant loss we started last week. We discuss how to talk with your other kids about loss, how different family members may cope differently, and how grief is a process, not a one-time thing. The conversation is with, for, and about mothers, but birthworkers and loved ones will learn so much by tuning in as well!

You can find Katie on Instagram @griefgardenne and on the internet at griefgardenne.com
