Money & Career Mastery: From Overwhelm to Ownership
120. Modeling Boundaries—The Money Lesson I Hope My Kids Remember [Minisode]
In this Legacy in the Little Things minisode, I’m reflecting on the surprising arrival of my 15-year college reunion notice—and the powerful money lesson I hope my kids learn from me: boundaries matter.
From holiday overspending to everyday Target runs, I’m sharing why “not yet” is sometimes the most loving answer, and how modeling financial limits teaches our kids patience, self-control, and confidence.
💡 Take a moment with me to reflect: What money moment did your kids witness this week—and what did they learn from it?

Hey accelerators and welcome to The Legacy and the Little Things Minisode that I've added to this podcast. This week, I got a letter in the mail stating that it was time for my 15th college reunion. I had to sit and do the math because that certainly couldn't be right, except it is, and. That's really, really shocking. It put into perspective a lot of things for me. So I'm doing a couple minisodes for you. I would like to start having a couple different episodes a week, just because I have so many things that I want to say, and this just seems like the easiest way for me to get them to you. So today I wanna talk about the most powerful money lesson. I really hope my daughters and my son learn from me. You see, being a mom. Being a mom is hard, and one of the hardest things for me to do is say no. It's funny because no used to be my favorite word, and it, and it still kind of is. I do like saying no to certain things that don't benefit me, but it's really hard to say no to my children. However, I realize that my children don't just absorb what I teach. They absorb what they see me doing. I like to say it this way, our kids are playing follow the leader even when we don't know we're playing the game. So recently we've had Easter. We've had holiday holiday parties. We've had so many things that need to get done, and unfortunately I can't do everything. I mean, it would be cool if I could, but I can't. I would love to be able to give them everything, every little bit of their heart's desire, but I know that setting a financial boundary is impactful. It's important, it's necessary for them to see those boundaries. And the reason is because eventually they're not gonna be in my home. I'm not gonna be able to watch over them and care for them. Eventually, they're gonna be out on their own and they're gonna have to make their own decisions. I need them to see that boundaries are there to protect them, not to be broken. Modeling a financial boundary is going to be much more impactful than ever. Talking about money could be. I can say things and they will go in one ear and out the other. Saying, let's say for that. That that will teach them patience. It's not deprivation. And when they see the things that they really want in the store, that's great. I'd like to ask, did you bring your money? If not, then I'm not buying it for you, but you can save up and make sure that you have enough, and next time we come, you can bring your money. You can get that if it's still something you want. Sometimes you really want it in the moment, and then we get home and you forget about it completely. So just like every time we go to Target or Five Below, which is my kids' favorite place to spend their money,'cause their money goes a lot further there, it buys a lot of cheap crap, but they seem to really enjoy it. I've really enjoyed watching my children respect my boundaries more and more as they mature, they realize that me saying, not right now, not this time, that doesn't mean not ever. So why don't you take a second to reflect with me. Reflect on a money moment that your kids observed this week. What did they learn from it? Are you happy with what they learned? Do you want them to emulate that? And if not, how are you going to make a change so when they're watching you, you will like what they're picking up? If this is helpful or beneficial to you in any way, I'd love for you to share this episode with somebody that you love. I hope you're excited that Mother's Day's coming up. If you have a graduate in your life. I'm excited for you and for the journey they're about to go on. So if there's anything I can do to be of service, please let me know. I'm here for you. And as always, accelerators go out and make a difference.
