What If the “Standard Life Plan” Is the Real Trap?
I sit down with Bri Conn, a Certified Financial Planner at Childfree Wealth, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what it means to choose a different path.
Bri opens up about the money messages passed down in her family, like the ever-present Dave Ramsey book in her grandmother’s kitchen, and how those early lessons shaped her beliefs. From preparing for financial abandonment when she came out in college to becoming a planner helping others chart a non-traditional path, Bri’s story is about rewriting the money rules and taking full ownership of your future.
If you've ever felt boxed in by expectations: marriage, kids, retirement at 65, this episode will challenge you to ask: What do I really want my life to look like?
