The Financially Independent Mama | Emma Johnson, Business Journalist

#148 In this no holds barred Atomic Moms parenting podcast, award-winning business and personal finance journalist Emma Johnson talks cents to Ellie Knaus about what money means in our relationships, where we should focus our savings, what holds us back from going big in our careers, and why we owe it to our kids to go for it! Ellie speaks honestly about her money-making hang ups. And Johnson, a champion for solo moms everywhere, alleviates listener working mom guilt, shares how she carves out guilt free me-time, and discusses the “the sandwich generation” stress when you find yourself suddenly the primary caregiver of both your kids and your parents. Finally we share a fantastic "Family Manifesto" exercise pulled straight from her new book The Kickass Single Mom: Be Financially Independent, Discover Your Sexiest Self, and Raise Fabulous, Happy Children to do with your family this week. x Ellie "Get over this idea that being harried and overwhelmed is somehow a badge of honor. That is just bullsh*t that holds women back.” - Emma Johnson on Atomic Moms podcast show notes: atomicmoms.com If you like this, subscribe and leave a written review on iTunes.com/AtomicMoms Let’s carry this conversation on over to our private Facebook group.
