Lisa and the Council of Moms: Josephine, Wendy Mar, and Hilary Craner, discuss the challenges of parenting in a world of socioeconomic comparisons. They share personal experiences about family finance conversations, shifting perspectives on materialism, and creating meaningful family experiences without overspending.
