Handful of Thoughts ,

Awesome podcast for moms by moms

Yes! Finally a podcast by moms for moms. Love the content and the format. If you’re a mom and want to have a better relationship with your money (and I’m not talking about clipping coupons or shopping discount sales) then this podcast is for you. Chelsea does a great job setting up a no judgement zone that is informative and welcome to other mamas.

Such a great listen

I love Chelsea’s voice and her insight. So nice to find a podcast that speaks directly to my experience, but with a much broader appeal.
