Plenty with Kate Northrup

Have you ever wondered how to empower your kids with financial wisdom while also nurturing a harmonious and loving family dynamic?

In this episode of The Plenty Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Nicole Walters for a heart-to-heart about teaching children about money while navigating the beautiful (and sometimes messy) journey of motherhood. Nicole, a successful entrepreneur and author, generously shares her personal experiences and tried-and-true strategies for raising financially savvy kids.

We dive into the importance of helping children understand the value of money, why emotional well-being matters just as much as financial literacy, and how setting healthy boundaries can create a stronger family foundation. Nicole also opens up about the unique lessons she’s learned from her own family dynamic and how nurturing a child’s sense of self-worth is at the heart of it all.

This conversation is packed with practical tips, heartfelt stories, and plenty of moments that will leave you inspired to approach parenting and financial education with intention and love.
