This week’s episode is an interview with Chelsea Brennan of Smart Money Mamas.
Chelsea Brennan is an ex-hedge fund investment manager turned full-time blogger. After several years working on Wall Street, Chelsea made a major life change to choose a family, passion, and a positive impact on the world over money.
Chelsea is a recovering perfectionist, aspiring homesteader, and full-blown Potterhead living in Connecticut with her husband (a rockstar stay-at-home dad and board game enthusiast), two young boys, and a puppy named Stitches.
In our conversation, we talk about controlling your finances, how to get on the same page with your spouse and start investing for your kids (and your) future!
