Have you ever thought, how do I grow the money I actually have? Get ready to have your mind blown and be prepared to think outside of the box. Former News Anchor Natali Morris joins us today on the Mom Inspired Show and let me tell you, this woman knows her stuff. She decided to stay home after her second child was born even though she was struggling to go back full time to being a News Anchor.  She shares with us how moms that work full time outside of the home can possibly figure out how to quit their job and what steps that you would need to do to figure this out. One of things that I loved hearing was that she said if she wasn't going to be bringing home a regular paycheck, then she was going to get good at personal finance and make that her job.  One story that stood out to me loud and clear was that she was saying that a lot of moms are resigned to the administrator tasks in regards to money. But she wants to challenge you to learn how to expand your wealth not just budget what you have. She encourages

Have you ever felt life is happening to you vs. you making life the way you want it? I had the pleasure of speaking with Lara Casey of Cultivate What Matters on the show today.  I met Lara in 2012 at one of her Making Things Happen events and I have loved her ever since.  We talk about being intentional with our lives in every aspect, how sometimes we have to say no to things that are even good things. That's right, we can't say yes to everything even if they are good! A few things stood out to me when chatting with Lara, she has 3 kids and runs multiple businesses and so she shared with me that she has to build in intentional times with her kids. I think so many of us think things will just magically happen and as we all know when you have kids, a spouse, work, family and friends you have to be very intentional with your life in order to get the outcome you hope and dream for. One of the stories that stood out to me is why Lara Casey decided to close a successful chapter of her life which was Southern Weddin

Have you ever thought about going on a Disney Cruise? This week I dive into all things Disney Cruise from the perspective of a travel agent but also my personal experience, since I have been on two of them. I have been on a 7 night cruise and a 4 night cruise.  I talk about is it worth the price, what makes it different then other cruises, the kids clubs, and what is the difference between going to the Disney parks vs. going on a Disney Cruise.  So, if you have never been on a cruise or you have been on different cruise lines and you have been sitting on the fence about a Disney Cruise, then you won't want to miss this episode. I share my experience from going on the Disney Dream last year when I had a 3 and 6 year old and what I would of done differently but also share the things that I really loved about it.

Do you have a passion or dream and you just don't know where to start to make it happen? I had the pleasure of speaking with speaker and author Christy Wright of Dave Ramsey's Business Boutique.  We discuss everything from being a traditional working mom that works outside of the house to a mom that is running her own business or wanting to start a side hustle. Christy mentioned that sometimes it's all about just raising your hand to be the right person for the job and not waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder to say you can do it. A lot of times women wait for permission to step up and it needs to be the reverse of that, you need to feel confident to say you can do this, even if you don't know if you can. You just need to be willing to try!One story that really stood out me was that Christy never set out to be a speaker, she just wanted to solve a problem. Hear what she says about this topic and more on the podcast. Guest Contact Info: Website: https://christywright.com Facebook: https://www.fa

Have you ever wondered if you could type your child in regards to Enneagram? In this 2 part series I had Beth McCord back on so we could chat about parenting with the Enneagram.  She shares with us that it's hard to know what your kid's type is especially when they are young.  She mentioned that what you could do is start to eliminate the types that you know they are not, so that you have it more narrowed down.  One thing that stood out to me was the age that a child should be before you really start to figure out their type, to hear what she says about this and more on the podcast.
