I rarely re-release an episode but I found myself scrolling through the podcast archives and saw that this episode had very few downloads. I looked at the release date and noticed that it had originally aired in the early summer of 2020. I can pretty much guarantee most of us were a bit distracted at that point in time but this is a conversation that is a worthwhile listen. So here we go - a replay of "Values-Based Budgeting" with my guest, Janice Scholl.---------------------Today I bring you my conversation with host of the The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast, Janice Scholl. Janice has made an entire career out of talking about money and business. She found her purpose when she began mentoring female entrepreneurs in 2012. Today, we define how value-based budgeting varies from a typical budget. The budget is designed to help people have the money to spend it on the things they want to. It shouldn’t feel like a restrictor but an enabler. Changing your family’s financial future requires a change in behavior and there’s no better time to start than today.-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityConnect with Janice:InstagramPodcast: Raising Middle School GirlsEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
