Katie Brewer started Your Richest Life because she believes that every professional should have access to a financial planner. Katie helps clients alleviate their stress about money by helping them clarify their goals, identify and eliminate obstacles to those goals, and create a financial action plan to achieve them.  Katie has accumulated over 10 years of experience working with clients and their money.

Being a stepparent certainly comes with challenges, but it does have its plus sides too. In this episode I will share what those are so that you can shift your perspective.

 

  1. You get to be the fun one
  2. You do not have to be the disciplinarian
  3. You are looked at differently than mom or dad
  4. You get to develop your own special relationship
  5. You can be influential in their life
  6. You get to help a family
  7. You get to walk away or get a break
  8. You bring new perspectives in the mix
  9. You are listened to in a different way
  10. You can learn a lot about yourself from being a stepparent

Living in the shadows of an ex or a deceased partner can be really difficult to navigate. Both situations have similarities, but both need to be handled in different ways. We will talk about photos, memories, family and friends, and children in this episode. Plus I’ll share three emails from listeners about this topic.

Raising teenagers can be extremely challenging and frustrating. As parents, we can get caught up in the negativity of it all, and we can forget to enjoy the journey. Hopefully this show can help to shift your perspective a bit, so that you can see the joys in between the madness!
