In this episode, we discuss money lessons for our daughters and explore the crucial role of financial awareness, the importance of self-reliance, and the evolving financial roles of women in society. We'll share personal anecdotes, discuss historical contexts, and emphasize the importance of modeling positive financial behaviors for the next generation. We believe that money isn't just a tool for daily transactions—it's power. It's the key to independence, freedom, and making informed choices. Whether it's managing household finances, advocating for oneself, or navigating power dynamics in relationships, these lessons are vital for our daughters to learn early and understand deeply.
