Minimalist Moms Podcast | All Things Minimalism, Intentionality & Simple Living

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.Find all the resources mentioned in this show:Show Notes for EP123: Values-Based BudgetingLet's keep the conversation going on Facebook or Instagram! Our Sponsors:* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/minimalist-moms-podcast2093/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
