122. Do You Struggle with Teaching Your Kids Financial Wellness? The Parenting Secrets Behind Raising Financial Grownups with Bobbi Rebell

“The greatest gift you can give your children is your own financial independence when you get older so that they don't have to financially take care of you.” - Bobbi Rebell

Bobbi Rebell is the author of Launching Financial Grownups: Live Your Richest Life by Helping Your (Almost) Adult Kids Become Everyday Money Smart. 

She is also a Certified Financial Planner, the founder of Grownup Gear - merchandise to celebrate all the milestones of adulting, a former global business news anchor having worked at CNBC, CNN and Reuters - and the host of the Money Tips for Financial Grownups podcast, of which I am a guest as well!

But on top of it all Bobbi is a mom of 3, a 14 year old and 2 step-children, ages 22 and 25, navigating motherhood as a blended family.

In this episode, Bobbi and I chat about...

• Her experience becoming an instant mom of 3 in 2.5 years in a blended family while managing a full-time career as a TV anchor
• The importance of her career to her identity
• How she had to make hard career choices as a working mom based on the lifestyle and workplace culture
• Going on a “mentor tour” and tips on changing careers as a working mom
• The meaning of being a “financial grownup”
