Maybe you’ve wondered what an estate plan is and if you need one. Or maybe you do know what it is but think it’s just something ‘wealthy’ people do. Our guest, Crista Hermance of the Hermance Law Firm breaks it all down for us in today’s episode. From the perspective of a mother and an attorney, Crista explains to us: 

• Why all parents need an estate plan in place 
• What estate planning really is 
• How to pick guardians for your children 
• How her law firm is doing it different by focusing their business specifically on young families 

About the Guest: 

As both a mother and an attorney, Crista Hermance understands the unique legal needs of families. She knows that all parents, regardless of their net worth, need comprehensive estate planning to ensure their wishes are followed and theirfamilies are protected.  

Crista has focused her California-based law practice solely on the estate planning needs of young families. She has two daughters who are five and three, and has created a practice around having a work-life balance that allowed her to be both a mom and an attorney. With a play room, kid-friendly snacks, and a diaper changing station in the restroom, she’s also used her motherhood experiences to create an office environment that is welcoming to families with children.  

Crista was born and raised in Ventura, California, and lived there the majority of her life. She majored in business management at San Diego State University and soon there after started working for Citigroup in Jacksonville, FL. She worked as a project manager for Citigroup and traveled extensively throughout the world, and even relocating to the Philippines for a year. After living in the Philippines, Crista moved back to California and began her legal career. 

After passing the bar and as an associate attorney Crista began focusing on estate planning, personal injury and bankruptcy cases. It was then that she realized she really enjoyed helping families with their estate planning and decided to start her own practice where she could focus solely on estate planning and ensuring that young families know how to protect their family.

About the Host: 

Janice has been talking about money and business her entire career. During her 10 years as a commercial banker, she focused on developing financial solutions for companies of all sizes. While the work was both challenging and rewarding, Janice knew she wanted something more. She found her purpose when she began mentoring female entrepreneurs in 2012. While working with her female clients, four themes kept repeating: 

• Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life. 
• Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. 
• Women start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn’t fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. 

From these themes Mamas and Money was born. Janice now uses her knowledge and experience to support mothers in the areas of money, career, & business. 

Janice has been a mother herself for 10 years. When her second child was just six months old, Janice, along with her two children and husband, boarded a plane and moved overseas. After five years of adventure in Asia, the family recently relocated to Tennessee.  Janice credits her children with giving her the bravery needed for her international move and all of the crazy things she’s done since. 

Janice holds a Bachelors of Business Administration from Walsh College of Accountancy and MBA from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. She’s a lifelong learner and (not-so) secretly wishes she could go to school forever. 

When Janice isn’t talking to mothers about money, career and business, you’ll find her traveling with her family and searching for the best Japanese food in town.

Do you want to raise your kids to be smart about money, but don’t know where to start? If so, today’s episode is for you. Our guest John Lanza of Snigglezoo will help us learn the ins-and-outs of financial education for kids and his book The Art of Allowance. We discuss when we should start talking about money with our children, the real purpose of allowance (hint: it’s not to get your kids to do chores), and how to help our kids learn about money when maybe we don’t feel like we’re doing everything right ourselves.

John Lanza is on a mission to help families raise money-smart, money-empowered kids so they can live happier, more fulfilled lives. To that end, he has written The Art of Allowance along with three other children’s books. John is the creator and Chief Mammal of The Money Mammals, an award-winning DVD and youth savings program for credit unions nationwide, all built around the core Money Mammals mantra, “We’ll Share & Save & Spend Smart Too!”

John’s mission began with a simple question, “How can we raise our kids to be money smart?” He and his wife realized quickly that financial literacy was vital not only for their own six month old but for all families and The Money Mammals were born – a pioneering program to get kids excited about becoming money smart.

Then The Great Recession hit. It further underscored the need for financial literacy learning for all Americans and it provided the backdrop for John to begin testing out the basic tenets of what would become The Art of Allowance: A Short, Practical Guide to Raising Money-Smart, Money-Empowered Kids with his kids, now fifteen and thirteen. With so many families falling prey to the dangers of our consumer-oriented society, John found that his message was resonating, including the importance of teaching kids the impermanence of stuff, the things we own. Because children are targeted at such a young age with messages with messages to spend, it’s now clear that parents should start early in order to raise money-smart, money-empowered children.

Meal planning is a great way to save money by cooking more at home, but only if it works for your family! Too often busy moms try to meal plan but because of our ever-changing schedules, picky eaters, and little time to cook, it doesn’t work. Today we’re interviewing Marie Fiebach of the Feed Your Family Tonight Podcast, who will change the way you meal plan for your family.

About the Guest:

Marie Fiebach is a married mother of four active kids aged 12-17.  In 2017 she founded Feed Your Family Tonight to help busy families eat dinner together at home and recapture a little calm in the crazy. She is a cookbook author, podcaster, and has a weekly cooking segment on her local ABC affiliate. Marie knows how hard it is to get dinner on the table whether you are working until 6:00, running kids to after-school activities, or chasing toddlers all day. She has dealt with picky eaters, food allergies, and busy schedules but still manages to feed her family a home-cooked meal almost every night. She wants to help you do the same.
