Meet the People Powering Childfree Wealth®, Ep. 141

You hear from Bri and Dr. Jay all the time. But who else is behind the scenes helping make Childfree Wealth® what it is?

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain and introducing you to Fiona Waller, CFP® and Scott Barnes, CFP® and CLTC — two of our incredible Childfree Wealth Specialists®. You'll hear how Fiona moved from a career in therapy to financial planning (and why her counseling skills still come in handy every day), and how Scott’s decades of experience in the financial world led him here, to a team that puts life before spreadsheets.

Together, they share what it means to serve the Childfree community with empathy, curiosity, and a bit of nerdy joy. From redefining what legacy looks like to finding the right time to switch financial planners, this episode is equal parts heartfelt and practical.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s in your corner, you’ll want to tune in.
