Phenomenal Moms With Aisha Taylor

Do you believe that you are unqualified to teach your children about financial literacy? Are you worried that your children won't learn critical money management skills? Did you know that most schools don't require a class on money management?   It is so essential that you learn ways to teach your children financial management.  You cannot rely on the schools to teach financial literacy.  Therefore, teaching financial literacy must be done at home.  One thing I always say is that you want your children to manage their money properly because of you and not in spite of you. In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Tasha Danielle, CPA of Financial Garden, a youth financial literacy company, to talk about how single moms can teach their children about financial literacy.  In this episode we discuss: Why it is so important that single moms teach their children about money management (even if you don't know about financial literacy yourself) The lessons you consciously or subconsciously teach your children Easy ways

Do you wish you could save?   Do you believe that if you had more savings, less debt or better financial management skills then you could do more with your children?  Do you wish that you could invest more, buy a home, or make a guilt-free splurge? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions then what is stopping you? The critical step to getting started on your financial plan is to create a budget which is a plan for how you will spend your money and what you plan to do to make sure that your money also goes towards accomplishing your financial goals so you can have the life that you want for yourself and your children. The budget is critical to this but it isn't enough. If you embark on a financial plan then in addition to developing a budget you must understand what can derail your plan and develop a plan to help you anticipate those things and develop a plan to overcome. In this podcast episode you will learn: 5 things that can destroy your budget How to avoid common mistakes that can reduce the impa

Are you craving time that you can get alone to pour back into yourself? Are you a mom who is stressed out? Do you believe that finding time for yourself is a myth? Does it seem like self-care can't fit into your schedule? If you are a mom who is feeling stress then you are not alone.  According to a study by TODAY, "Apparently 70 percent of U.S. moms say mothering is “incredibly stressful.” And 96 percent also feel that we are far more stressed than our own mothers were."  Motherhood means late nights, early mornings, and busy days. In today's podcast, Tara Pringle Jefferson, founder of The Self-Care Suite and the Bloom Beautifully Box joins me to discuss the importance of self-care and why it is essential that all moms practice it.  In this podcast we discuss: What self-care is and is not Why you may be overthinking self-care What all busy moms need to do to start to prioritize themselves Why self-care is non-negotiable to your health and your children's well-being Why self-care takes less time than you th

Do you feel like a great SALE pops up every time you make a commitment to save, invest, or manage your money better? You feel like you work hard so you deserve to treat yourself? Does the thought of working hard but not being able to splurge on yourself and your children seem restrictive? You work hard.  Actually, you work very hard.  The thought of rewarding yourself for your hard work or doing something extra for your children is so tempting.  I know how it feels to get a little extra and want to use that to buy something for my twins, to use the money to do something fun with my children, or even do something for myself.  I also know that it is hard to say "no" to something that will provide a level of satisfaction or fulfillment at that moment.  However, one of the things that I learned is that if I want to be financially secure and to build a financial legacy for my children, I must adopt a long-term view of money management. In order to develop a longer-term view of money management, I had to recognize

Do you think that investing as a single mom is impossible?   Do you think that you don't have the right knowledge or enough income to get started?   In today's podcast, Aja McClahanan of Principles of Increase joins the Phenomenal Moms Podcast to talk about how to get started with investing.   In this podcast episode we will cover: What are things that people need to know and be comfortable with before they start investing How can someone know if they are ready to invest Do people need a lot of money to get started What things you can do right now to start investing (even if you don't know what you are doing or may be afraid to start) And much more   As an additional resource for you on your financial journey, check out this FREE grocery reduction challenge to help you to cut your grocery and takeout bill so you can have more money to start investing today!

A common question that I get from single moms is, “How do I build a savings account?”  Starting a savings account can seem difficult and in some cases impossible. Not having, at minimum, $1,000 leaves families exposed to financial disaster if the unexpected strikes.  However, it can be hard to know where to start saving, how to come up with the money, where to put the money that you plan to save, and when it is possible to even start saving.  The thought of saving can seem like a faraway dream.  However today we will be answering those questions.  In this podcast episode, we will be discussing how to save your first or next $1,000 within the next 365 Days (or sooner).  By the end of this episode, you will have a plan to save your first or next $1,000.   Check out the podcast, hit subscribe, leave a comment, and share it with your friends!!

Are you terrified that becoming a single mom could mean financial ruin? When you think about finances, do the feelings of fear and worry start to creep up? If the answers to these questions were "yes", then you are not alone.   I will never forget the doctor telling me that I was pregnant with twins. The first thing that came to my mind was, “What am I going to do now?”  I was afraid, and I felt the panic creeping into my body.  I felt fear, worry, and pressure because I asked myself,  “Now what?” and had no response. It took me a while to realize that becoming a single mom can actually help me financially. This podcast episode will show you why becoming a single mom can help you in the area of financial management and the critical things you must do to improve your money management skills.  You must grow, develop and make better financial decisions because your children are counting on you.   As an additional resource for you on your financial journey, check out this FREE grocery reduction challenge to help
