• Ep. 70 HOW I’m Teaching My Kids Financial Wisdom + WHY I’m Letting Them Struggle… (and More on Mars BIG Move to Thailand!)

  Raising teens with financial wisdom (and boundaries) is no small task. Especially when we’re trying to help our kids avoid the same disastrous mistakes we made! In this episode, I sit down with Ryan…friend, financial advisor, and father, to talk about some of the struggles (especially financial) that come with raising adult kids. We dive into:My kids college 529 savings account: What they are, how you get them, and how I helped my kids save for theirs.My two “keys” (ie rules) they must fulfill to access these accounts as adults.When and where I’ve let my kids struggle so that they can grow (and avoid the pitfalls I experienced).Why Marley is in Thailand on her humanitarian trip and how this connects to her financial and college future.What is a Roth IRA and how can we all start saving better for our kids’ futures.Some of the hilarious and probably ridiculous (but hopefully effective) ways I’m teaching my kids to value money and real-life experiences.We talk about all things from finances to stuffing suitcases with mac & cheese and shampoo. It’s part financial strategy, part parenting therapy… and all heart. Whether you’re a single mom, a tired dad, or just trying to raise grounded kids, this one’s for you.Watch the full episode on YouTube here or head to https://www.youtube.com/@RealHeidiPowell.Here are the key moments from the episode:0:00 Why Marley Is Headed to Thailand2:46 More About Marley’s Humanitarian Trip10:51 How Much the Average Kid Costs to Raise18:31 Who the Heck is Ryan?22:01 The Best Financial Lesson My Dad Taught Me33:01 How I Blew All of My College Money38:41 What is a 529 College Savings Account45:01 Roth IRAs and How to Build Your Kids’ to 5 Million Dollars!50:31 The TWO KEYS to My Kids’ College Money56:11 Why I’m Letting My Kids Struggle1:10:46 How to Introduce Financial Literacy at Home1:28:11 Preparing Your Kids for Life Without You1:34:01 What to Do When Your College Kid Calls in Crisis1:45:21 Final Thoughts on Growth, Grace & Letting GoConnect with Heidi:

• Ep. 69 Marley’s Off to Thailand! Unfiltered Truths on Raising Strong Daughters, Co-Parenting + Letting Go

  In this deeply personal episode, I talk about launching my second bird into the world… my 18-year-old daughter, Marley. It was an emotional goodbye for the both of us that triggered all sorts of thoughts and feelings as a mom. Pride. Grief. Gratitude. And regret…for all the things I wish I’d done over the years before she left.In this episode, I open up about the challenges I’m encountering as I learn to raise adult children as a single mom (yes, I said it), the silent ache of letting go, and the surprising ways I’m healing in the process. Hint…one of the ways may or may not be a HUGE surprise party for this daughter of mine who *said* she never wanted to be celebrated (but deep down that’s all she craved).From co-parenting and sacrifice, to throwing that goodbye surprise party of a lifetime, I’m slowly learning to let my kids become who they are, and I’m sharing it all. This isn’t just a life update. It’s a love letter to motherhood, growth, and choosing to celebrate even through the heartbreak.PS.
