I loved this half hour chat with Andrea, from Lead Like a Woman podcast. I shared the story of how I became a money coach, and why marrying the practical with the emotional side of money is so powerful. We also talked about how to make money FUN, and how to protect what you truly want, as opposed to keeping up with the Jones. And as always, we sprinkled in talk of tango, my other favorite topic.
