In this episode, Amanda talks about her 7-year-old daughter's hesitation to wear a dinosaur tee-shirt (aka, how to tell your kids gender stereotypes are a bunch of malarky) and then we delve into what the hell happens when men try to tell women they're not allowed to earn, keep or control their own money (spoiler alert: they're not supposed to do that). Financial Planner and survivor Saundra Davis, founder of Sage Financial Solutions talks with us about reclaiming one's empowerment around money after abuse, how the racial pay gap makes things suckier for survivors of color, and how to plan your financial future (because it won't always be like this).
