In this thought-provoking episode of Sisternomics, Monique talks to Stephanie Perry, a house sitter and influencer, about the concept of taking an 'adult gap year.' 
Stephanie passionately advocates for black women to take at least a year off from work to travel or practice radical self-care, challenging traditional notions of how value is tied to productivity. 
F*** productivity!
This episode delves into the benefits of extended breaks, the importance of self-worth outside work, and actionable steps for planning your sabbatical. 
Stephanie boldly challenges the historical context of 'black excellence,' and provides listeners with resources and motivation to completely redefine self-worth by embracing a life of ease and leisure.

Know a high school or college grad? In this episode Monique shares 5 basic money habits she wishes somebody would have taught her before she graduated.
These 5 habits, if implemented early and consistently, will lead to a life of wealth and abundance. 
**Note from Monique: This is NOT an exhaustive list but it will get you started. If I had to add more I would say connect with a financial advisor as soon as possible (in your 20s) and start working on your retirement plan immediately!
