    Moving back home: When your parents are your roommates

    Independence usually means flying the nest. Getting out from under parental rule, making your own decisions and having some space for yourself. But life happens and sometimes that means returning home. Just because moving back in with your parents wasn’t on your adulthood bingo card, doesn’t mean it isn’t a good move. On this episode we’ll talk to Paige Mariah, a successful, vibrant, thirtysomething who returned to the U.S. from England and moved back in with her parents. She’s got first-hand tips on how to make the most of your time at home. And we also have Francesca Canzoneri from The Therapy Institute who helps get you in the right mindset when it comes to boundaries, boundaries and more boundaries.

    Retirement 101: Start saving, stop worrying

    For many of us, retirement is a bit of an abstract idea. It’s far away in the future, it can be hard to picture. The unknowns are infinite. So how do we plan for that? Step one: Just start. The earlier the better, too, because we’ll just keep getting older and it’ll be nice to have a little something to make those later years more fun. Join our guest Pamela Capland, certified financial planner and accredited financial counselor who takes the shame out of money conversations and is a pro at simplifying and empowering. Then we also have Julien and Kiersten Saunders who explain the basics of the FIRE movement (financial independence, retire early).
