In this episode of Banking on Girls, I sit down with Dr. Darla Bishop—author of How to Afford Everything, Madeline’s Money Adventure (for ages 4–8), and How to Afford College and Grad School. Darla brings her signature mix of humor, wisdom, and real talk to help people of all ages build a healthier relationship with money.
From being a doula to a military spouse, healthcare consultant, and now a voice in financial education, Darla shares her own money journey—and how she’s raising her daughter to be money-smart and confident.
We talk about:
💸 Why so many people are afraid to look at their finances
🎓 Smart ways to pay for college and grad school (especially if you have more than one kid heading there!)
👩👧 The impact your words have on your child’s money mindset
💡 How to build financial habits that feel good—not guilt-ridden

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
