27. An Unconventional Road To Marriage, Motherhood, and Money with ALI FEDOTOWSKY MANNO
Today's interview is beyond captivating!!
We interview Ali Fedotowsky Manno, who you may know from her time as The Bachelorette, or as an E! News host, or the popular Ali Luvs blog, or even her Instagram...
But there is SO much you don't know about how Ali became Ali.
Her story from 0-20 years is beyond fascinating and will inspire you that your childhood does not have to determine your adulthood.
She is beautifully honest, and we all shed some major tears in this one.
If this interview inspires you, please share it with a friend who might be in need of some good inspo!
A 5 Star rating and a review will also help this podcast get to more people, so we would really appreciate that.

Customer Reviews
All the feels each week
I love this podcast so much. I get to experience the full range of emotions with these girls. I laugh, I cry, they make me think, they give great tips and advice. They have such varying lenses and approaches to life but have a way of really bringing their drastically different ways to the table in a way that is non-confrontational and totally respectful of one another. The interviews they conduct are really well done and give you such a great sense of the person. They always seem to ask their subject the exact questions I’m hoping they will. The products/favorite things they share at the end is the best and I have purchased, tried and really liked them all. Can’t say enough about this amazing podcast. I really look forward to Wednesdays when the new one comes out.
Not for me
I tried listening and 25 minutes in I haven’t really gotten much out of it. It feels like I’m trying to catch up on random facts about people’s lives, “oh I could see that about you”, listening to cliches about sibling dynamics and it’s not all tying back to motherhood. I might it give it another shot but not able to finish the current episode.
Learn to forgive
The thing about parenthood, especially in this day and age, is that we feel like we need to have it all. Unlike our parents who had to chose to either stay home and raise kids or be “working parents,” we can work from home so we are more accessible to our kids We also have the ‘gift’ of social media and the internet that spells out very clearly what a “good” parent should do. So we have to be performing in our careers to prove that we worth our pay grade, and we have to be perfect parents. This idea of having it all is tough and almost like chasing the carrot at the end of a stick.
I love this podcast because it reminds you to forgive yourself because parenthood is a hustle but we are all in it together. The three hosts have such different personalities making it so easy to relate to and get at peace with your opinions and successes/ failures. And.... they are funny! So at least you get a good laugh each episode, if not more. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
