Eps 643: Fearless Finance with Lori Atwood
from Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens · host Casey O'Roarty
Money talk on a parenting podcast? Yes — because financial stress shows up in our relationships with our teens whether we acknowledge it or not. In this episode I sit down with financial planner Lori Atwood to explore why so many of us avoid looking at our finances, how that avoidance leaks into our parenting, and what we can actually do about it. We dig into allowance, buyer's remorse as a teaching tool, prioritizing when college costs feel crushing, and how to model a healthier relationship with money for our kids. This one is practical, honest, and long overdue. Guest Bio: Lori Atwood, CFP® is the founder and CEO of Fearless Finance, a virtual financial planning firm offering expert, fiduciary, hourly guidance with no sales, no minimums, and no judgment. With over 25 years in finance — from investment banking and private equity to one-on-one planning — Lori is passionate about helping families feel empowered rather than stressed about money. She's also a parent of a teen, so she gets it. For more info and show notes, go to: https://www.besproutable.com/podcasts/eps-643-fearless-finance-with-lori-atwood/ Learn more about your ad choices.
