Welcome to the Investor Mama podcast, money conversations with a mom's touch. I'm your host Jen Narciso, and I interview amazing guests each week to help educate, inspire, and motivate you on your own wealth-building journey. Show topics range from psychology around money, investing in real estate, how to start a business or side hustles, optimizing taxes, navigating the financial costs of being a caregiver, getting out of debt, educating your kids around money, and so much more but all geared towards moms. Moms are those who have kids, struggling to have kids, have angel babies, are moms of other kids, and "moms" who choose not to have their own kids but may have little eyes watching them. Now sit back, relax, enjoy the show, and most importantly, subscribe!

Lightning Round
1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?
In childhood, in the eighties, I was obsessed with WWF wrestling back in the era of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man.
2. Who inspires you the most and why?
My kids. They inspire me because they make me want to be better in all of my roles. So whether it’s being a better mom or being a better doctor or a Christian or entrepreneur or author, whatever it is. They really humble me because they’re always watching and keep me in check and they make me want to be better.
3. What books are you reading now or have read and loved that you’d recommend?
The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins

4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their money journey?
Start taking some action. I think it’s really easy to get stuck in analysis paralysis, or you just accumulate knowledge, and you feel like you have imposter syndrome and can’t do something.

Episode #138: Lessons Learned from Hosting Her First Summit

About
My name is Christina Day and I’m a 40 something divorced woman, and mom to a preteen boy. This is my starting point. Beyond that, I’m also a burnt-out but still practicing ER nurse. I (mostly) love my job, but I also realized that I enjoy helping people AVOID those ER visits even more. Cue health and life coaching and my self-improvement journey. Preventative health became a passion of mine (even more so when I hit my 40s and realized my body was needing some help), as is living the best life possible. This looks different for everyone, but for me, this means living debt-free, making lifestyle choices that will allow me to age gracefully and avoid disease as much as possible, and have time and energy to devote to my family and friends. Throw in a vacation a year, and I’m truly happy with my life.
I started my career in nursing, bought a house with the guy I will later marry, got married, had a baby. I was sleep deprived as a new mom, then stressed out as a not quite so new mom. My married life was suffering, and I just wasn’t happy. Don’t get me wrong, things LOOKED great from the outside, but I knew that the status quo just wasn’t good enough for me anymore. So what was? I had no idea. All I knew was that my then-current situation was not working. I went on a soul searching journey, almost got separated, we thought we could work on things, then 2 years later separated for good and then got divorced.
Here’s what I learned during these last few years. I learned how to take care of my finances. While I was married, I let him take the reigns because he seemed to know what he was doing. “Seemed to” being the key word here. It wasn’t until after my separation that I realized how wrong I was about that. Fast forward to budgeting apps, living debt free, smart investments, and a higher credit score, and not buying things just because they are on sale. I learned how to make healthy food choices most of the time (I will always have a sweet tooth and an appreciation of wine, and I’m ok with that). I learned what kind of exercise regime works for me (nope, it’s definitely not the gym). I learned what I want out of a relationship, and not to settle for “good enough”. I learned that I deserve f*cking amazing, and I’m ok to wait until I find that. I learned that yoga is good for my soul, and so is spending time in nature. I became a better person, I became less stressed and much less angry (dare I say even almost a little too zen sometimes), which in turn has made me a better parent and a better person.
Lightning Round
1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?
I am actually terrified of water, and bodies of water, but I love kayaking. I love paddle boarding. I love going on cruises, but for some reason, I have this weird fear of water.
2. Who inspires you the most and why?
I think it has to be my son he’s 11, almost 12, and everything I do is with him in mind. He inspires me every single day with just the little things that he does and the way he supports me and my business.

Lightning Round
1. What is one fun fact about you that not that many people know?
I have been trapped in quicksand before.
2. Who inspires you the most and why?
I would say my mom inspires me the most. I tell her that and she’s like, don’t hold me up on a pedestal and I’m like, you’re not on a pedestal Mom, but she inspires me because she is a wonderful mother.
3. What books are you reading now or have read and loved that you’d recommend?
Money Made Easy: How to Budget, Pay Off Debt and Save Money by Allison Baggerly
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
4. What is one actionable tip or piece of advice that you can tell our moms out there to help them on their money journey?
I would say set aside money for yourself. It is not selfish, or shameful, nor make you feel guilty to set aside money just for you. Whether it’s just money that you’re intentionally spending on something or you’re setting aside for your own goal. I think so often as moms, and speaking from experience, we give and give and give. It brings us joy to do that, but we forget to give back to ourselves.
